Rumors of Chase increasing AF for the Reserve to $550 with delivery credits, still a great card.
Will see how the new rewards go, because almost all the time it turns into a worse card. See Amex when they fucked around with their cards.
Rumors of Chase increasing AF for the Reserve to $550 with delivery credits, still a great card.
Contemplating getting a travel card but I'm having a hard time deciding between Chase Sapphire Reserve or the Capital Rewards Venture card. They both seem very similar so I'd like to know if anyone had either card and what they think of it. I do plan on doing some traveling next year so the sooner the better.
Sapphire Reserve all the way. The benefits I've gotten from them has been amazing. This year I've probably benefitted from over $1000 across points and the travel credit back. Last year I got a nice boutique hotel in Boston through their concierge system using the UR. It's been awesome.Contemplating getting a travel card but I'm having a hard time deciding between Chase Sapphire Reserve or the Capital Rewards Venture card.

Yes CSR is the endgame Chase card, $300 travel credit makes the difference $50. The perks out way the $50 for most.I'm going to be doing a lot of international travel soon so things like lounge access and trip insurance are big factors for me. Im starting to lean more towards the CSR but is the difference between it and the preferred warrant the extra annual fee?

Well endgame Chase card is the JP Morgan Reserve, which is just $600 AF card by invite only, it's just the CSR with dick waving power. You need somewhere along the lines of $10 million in assets with Chase/JP Morgan to get an invite.Yes CSR is the endgame Chase card, $300 travel credit makes the difference $50.

Don't have global entry, only TSA pre check. It seems like I should go for the reserve. I have a two other cards, my Amazon Prime card which is paid off and a Captial One cash back card I got a few years back to help rehabilitate my credit. Was also worried about having too many credit card, so I was also thinking about just moving things over to one card and maximize benefits.Do you have Global Entry already? If not CSR got you covered, that'll give you $100 back in your pocket. CSR has much better trip coverages and primary car rental insurance which I can't stress enough if you rent cars.
If you want to maximize your benefits then you want to go with a trifecta of Chase cards. CSR, Chase Freedom, and Chase Freedom Unlimited; I'd personally replace the CFU with a business Chase Ink.Don't have global entry, only TSA pre check. It seems like I should go for the reserve.

Almost all the cards in this thread require high credit scores and have very high APR, you're screwed for any benefit cards short of discover secured. Also, closing your credit lines will make things worse, just take the cards and destroy them or switch product on anything with an annual fee.I'm in the process of paying off my current cards. Should be done in 5 months or so. Thinking about starting over with new cards. Credit is f*cked anyway because of a cosign from a few years back so it makes no difference to me if I leave my current ones. I'll keep an eye on this thread, I definitely want one with flyer miles.
while I should get one of those to pair with my discover card sometime... I might wait because that is just horrible for me lol.Oh man, the Chase Freedom 2020 Q1 Category is really good
Gas stations, select streaming services, and internet/cable/phone services.
Ah that sucks, one of my cards has rewards since I got it when I had a good score. I guess I'll just pay them off as planned and only use that card.Almost all the cards in this thread require high credit scores and have very high APR, you're screwed for any benefit cards short of discover secured.

So I'm seeing a "complimentary" DoorDash subscription with no delivery fees on my Sapphire Reserve now. You have to add the card as your payment method in the app to enroll.
yeah you can do a chargeback, but be ready to burn that bridge with GS.so you all might have insight on this if Gamestop's customer service fails me (like I expect them to)
So on dec 25th I placed an order from them during a b2g2 sale.
The total of this order was $97.46 (each game was the same price)
They shipped the first two games and charged me $94.70
they then shipped the third game and charged me $1.38 (leaving $1.38 left on my order for the last game)
and now they cancelled my last game, merely stating that I wouldn't be charged for it.... but because of the way they weighted the discount instead of paying $24.37 per game like I was supposed to I'm now paying $32.03 per game.
I've contacted them asking for them to either reinstate the last bit of my order, or to give me a refund of $22.97 to make it $24.37 per game like I should have paid, but I doubt they do either.
From what I've read due to the way gamestop handles returns, what matters is the shipping date of my order, and it took 7 days to get to me, so even if I wanted to return the more expensive games I can only do so for an equal exchange not for a refund unless the manager overrides it, which some won't even take online returns in general (and I really don't want to drive all the way to gamestop to deal with this. even at $32 I can likely sell the games for a bit more than I paid... it's not the point).
So I was wondering, if gamestop doesn't fix this situation, is it possible I can do a chargeback on my credit card? I really only want to get the $22.97 back that I shouldn't been charged if they weighted the games equally (the way they have done things feels SUPER ILLEGAL) but is that something I can do with a charge back? Will a credit card company even help me in this situation?
I really don't care if I get banned from gamestop (as I figure would happen if I charge back) I just don't want them to screw me and get away with it :/
before this order the last order I made (august 2018) got lost and screwed me out of $55 due to paypal taking the money for a pending order and gamestop not being able to find the order. (whole reason it's on my credit card this time) Paypal told me the money would go back after a year due to it pending in a way they supposedly couldn't cancel without effectively charging back on gamestop and getting me banned... so I waited a year and the pending charge went away but I didn't get the money back, and when I talked to paypal they told me the charge was far too old for them to do anything about -_-yeah you can do a chargeback, but be ready to burn that bridge with GS.

before that it was an order in feb of 2018 (which went fine) and I haven't stepped into a gamestop in years. so it's not going to be much of a loss.
I mean it's not like I really want to buy anything from them anymore if they are going to keep screwing me like this lol.
the b2g2 was just a good enough deal for me to give them another chance... and of course this is how I've been rewarded :P
also thanks for the response.
all my attempts are through email, so I can just include those I assume.Make sure you document your attempts to resolve it w/ them first
Also, your card may offer return protection outside of a chargeback (though many have removed this benefit). Still, they did not deliver the entire order and if they are not willing to properly adjust the invoice to reflect it then that sounds like a valid chargeback
Welp reading that Chase is adding Lyft Pink membership to the CSR, alongside DashPass, looks like $550 AF incoming.
That'd be too much for me.Welp reading that Chase is adding Lyft Pink membership to the CSR, alongside DashPass, looks like $550 AF incoming.
Again, none of this is confirmed, but according to rumors:
According to reports it is not currently possible to product change to the Sapphire Reserve from other Chase cards. This could be because these changes are being implemented soon, or could be for other unknown business reasons.
- The new annual fee will kick in for applications as of January 12, 2020
- The annual fee increase will kick in for existing users with renewal dates in April 2020 or later
If that turns out to be true I might be ok for another year. Got mine in March 2019.
Hey all! Just closed my Amazon Chase card account and looking for a new card for travel rewards. I don't travel much, though I'd really like to change that (hence the card card).
I mainly fly Southwest so my initial thought is going straight to the Chase Southwest Premier card, but I'm open to suggestions. The Capital One Venture card is appealing, but there's no way I'm going to hit $4,000 3-month spending line to get the bonus.
Look into churning Chase cards including their business cards. My two international trips last year were paid with points.Hey all!

If you can hit $5k in 3 months, look into the Chase Ink Preferred, then refer your fiancé. It's a 20k referral bonus on top of 80k SUB.Got the Reserve in Feb, Unlimited in July I think.
Anyway my Paris trip was paid for with points. Still have 73kpoints left. Add that with my fiance's and we have about 140k in points today, after that 9 day Paris/London trip.

Depends on water you get use out of the new perks, and the existing ones. Especially the priority pass. That one adds up quick lmaoWith the increase in the AF for CSR, wondering if it's worth it to product downgrade to CSP but honestly not savvy enough to compare them.
Good luck, Chase doesn't like when you close cards D:Hey all! Just closed my Amazon Chase card account and looking for a new card for travel rewards. I don't travel much, though I'd really like to change that (hence the travel card).

Annual fee will increase to $550 for new users on January 12th, 2020
Annual fee will increase to $550 for existing users in April, 2020
Not possible to product change to the card until after January 12th, 2020 (new $550 annual fee will be charged)
Complimentary Lyft pink membership to be added on January 12th, 2020
$60 DoorDash credit to be added for 2020 and 2021 (this is is an annual credit that is valid from 1/12 – 12/31 each year).
$60 worth of DoorDash credit in addition to DashPass? Nice little addition to help offset the increase.
