I just canceled my CSR before the $450 annual fee kicked in. There wasn’t a downgrade path from it to a no annual fee card. I’m planing to get the US Bank altitude reserve card next.

Hey Sebby. I have the CSP and received the 60k SUB. After a year I would like to upgrade into the CSR, would I be eligible for the CSR SUB if I product change into the upgrade?

If I start with the Chase Freedom Card will I lose out on the sign up bonuses when I eventually get the Chase Sapphire Reserved? Thank you

Greetings, I’m planning apply for the CSR around March. I fly to visit my girlfriend once a year (about $400-$500 round trip). Does the $300 travel credit mean $500 dollar round trip ticket – $300? Or I won’t get the travel credit because it’s more than $300? Anyone please. Thanks.

Hey Sebby, is it possible to get the CSR from a CFU after 13 months?

Reply
Edan Benmelech October 6, 2019 - 5:07 pm

Since we have to wait one full year before eligibility, how does paying the AF work when upgrading from CSP to CSR? i.e. do I have to the $95 (CSP) + the $450 (CSR) or just the $450?

Just passed the one year mark on my CSP and upgraded to the CSR. Be aware when moving credit limits between cards, it can temporarily drop your credit score because it looks like the card issuer decreased your limit. Especially if the card with the new higher limit takes a while to register on your report.

When the store rejects your Amex card, pull out your CSR 😉. That’s the whole point of having a visa infinite card.

You got a new subscriber Sir. Thank you. Is it possible to get the CSR if I have the CSP (for 8 yrs now) but still get the bonus 50K on the CSR?

I’m above 5/24 and have never had a Sapphire account. However, I’m an authorized user on my spouse’s CSP and want to upgrade my CFU to CSR. For various reasons I won’t be able to have my spouse remove me as an authorized user. Since I’ve never had a Sapphire bonus, I’m planning to product change to CSR soon and then almost two years later product change back to CFU and then apply for the CSR to get the bonus.

Thanks for making this video, I’ve been contemplating this for a couple months

Great, helpful info! I'll be starting out with the CSP that currently has the great SUB. I have a good foundation in the Amex ecosystem, but having a solid Visa card will cover places that do not accept Amex (e.g. Costco, some International vendors). This video lays out all the options if I decide to upgrade to CSR down the road or even downgrade. Thanks very much!

Doesn't the 2.5% fee pretty much negate any benefits you get from using the credit card? Pay tuition using credit card just to get measly 50000 points? This is some God awful tips you're handing out to students.

Hello. I just got my CSP card. So I'll have to wait a year to apply for the CSR, Understood. My question is, is it best to upgrade the card or apply for the CSR card? Thanks for the information in this video.
