Summary
Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders who earned the welcome bonus many years ago may be eligible for it again. Several longtime former cardholders, including the author, have been approved for the 100,000-point bonus despite previously earning it. To check eligibility, applicants can look for a pop-up during the application process or call Chase’s reconsideration line. Successful applicants had originally opened the card around 2010-2012 and no longer had a Sapphire Preferred open.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders are finding ways to re-qualify for the welcome bonus. The card’s terms are unclear, but a pattern is emerging. Longtime former cardholders may be eligible again. The application process includes a pop-up that informs applicants of their eligibility. If denied, applicants can call Chase’s reconsideration line to reallocate credit and complete the application.
And, of course, there’s always the chance that you’ll get lucky and qualify for the bonus again.
