Update 3/21/22: Looks like it might be available online starting 4/14.
Update 2/8/22: a Reddit report indicates that the 80,000 + waived first year annual fee offer is now again available in Chase branches. YMMV, we need more data points on this to see how widely this is available. Very nice offer if you can get it, though still not as good as the 100k offer.
Update 2/13/22: More people have been targeted via mail. Obviously not as good as the 100k + no annual fee deal that was recently offered. Hat tip to generic19name
The Offer

Card Details

wholesale clubs) - 2x on travel

- 10% Anniversary point bonus. When you renew your card Chase will offer a 10% bonus spend. For example if you spend $25,000 you’d earn 2,500 bonus points. This is award after the annual fee is paid. This doesn’t apply to the sign up bonus.

- Not eligible if you’ve received a sign up bonus on the Sapphire Preferred/Reserve in the last 48 months (standard is now 48 months)
- Chase 5/24 rule applies to this card
Our Verdict
This is obviously a terrific deal if you were targeted. We recently saw this as a public offer. It’s likely a highly targeted mailer, let us know if you got it.
