I know that's right- I don't have either- card act wow!
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.
I got the CSP my last year of college, made the min spend (fronting club expenses / friend dinners and then getting reimbursed) and got that 60k bonus. I'm planning on upgrading to the CSR when I hit the 1 year mark because my PEV is higher for the CSR for year 2+. Thanks Sebby for your CSP vs CSR calculator, and for other insight videos like this! It helps make me feel at ease knowing I'm maximizing money I would have already spent on everyday things :) Keep it up & tell Mandy I said hi.
With your upgrade plan in mind, won't you be missing out on the bonus thanks to the One Sapphire Rule of 48months?
@@david7anto you can only hold one Sapphire card at a time, but it's a 48-month rule for earning the intro bonus. Before my 48-months are up, I believe I could downgrade to a Chase Freedom or FU and then sign-up for the CSR again once I'm out of the 48-month lock.
@@jeriking OK so you mean to say the 48month rule starts from your CSP joining and not from your CSR upgrade right?
@@david7anto to my understanding, yep!
david7anto it’s 48 months from the date you receive the bonus
You and shifu have taught me a lot tx. I can’t wait to fly business
When the store rejects your Amex card, pull out your CSR 😉. That’s the whole point of having a visa infinite card.
*GREAT VIDEO!* I just got my CSP and am working on getting my 60K bonus at the moment. I’m new to the CC points game as I’ve mostly been focused building a strong financial foundation (budgeting, saving money, etc.) which is the focus of my channel. At this time, I don’t see a reason to get the CSR because I don’t think I’ll get enough benefit considering the $450 annual fee. Very informative video Sebby! 😎😎👍🏻
Great timing Seb! I’m due to upgrade my CSP next month. Thanks for the video.
was about to post this as well! am in the exact same situation lol
The $300 travel cred pays for the card itself
It can be used for ride sharing apps as well!
I feel like you made this video especially for me, thumbs up man 👍🏼
Im struggling to find my CSP usefully now that i have had the amex gold for about 9 months. I am only keeping the CSP for the UR points and booking my flights with my points that i have and getting the benefits on trip delay and what not.
yeah, thats the only reason I keep this CSP...the ability to xfer to partners for premium cabins :(
You got a new subscriber Sir. Thank you. Is it possible to get the CSR if I have the CSP (for 8 yrs now) but still get the bonus 50K on the CSR?
Keeping track of credit limits is crucial. I've put cards to sleep like the United to the no AF option. Upgraded Marriott to Ritz. Downgraded CSR to FU.
Question: Are you able to keep/transfer over your existing UR points when you upgrade from CSP to CSR?
Yes. The points don't move. The account changes name. That's it
Nikhil Rego yes
Yeah I’m not sure 🤔 I would sure why I upgraded to reserve card...But good info about moving moving your credit limits
I think getting CSP now is a good idea at first to hit the minimum and get advantage of first year fee waiver, then before travel upgrade to CSR before this year ends to get 300+300$...
Store whatever points you get for hitting min spend, then product change to CSR, then transfer points to airline partners to get most value?? what you think?
I currently have a CSR (3 years) . Would I be better off downgrading my CSR to a freedom then apply for a CSP and upgrade it to the CSR or wait another year and just sign up for the CSP to get the bonus.
Great content Sebby! I've been telling all my friends to follow
The last part of the video applies to me as well, student and looking at the CSP and wanting to go CSR when I graduate and start traveling more. Thanks!!
High key, did not know that I could move around my credit limit like that. Thank you!
Lol, I’m watching this two years later, but…
Gotta give a shout out to the Pokémon reference. 😂 Loved it.
Thanks for this!
Time traveler here. Sebby, would you make a 2022 version of this video? This considering the updates to the cards. Thanks ahead for the consideration.
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!
If you do CSR to CSP, can you switch back to CSR within 12 months?
Thanks for making this video, I’ve been contemplating this for a couple months
Loved the Pokémon reference
Nice video. Very informative. I just received my CFU earlier this month. So now I have to wait a yr to get the CSP? Bummer. I was thinking of applying after 3 months. Patience is a virtue.
I have the CSR right now 2019, so in 2023 I can get the bonus again to re-apply. Would I then need to down grade to CSP in year before my 4th year ends. Then they will let me Upgrade back to CSR to get a sign in bonus or they will just give me the availability to gain the bonus by spending $X amount?
Thanks!
You would have to downgrade to a non-Sapphire product (although not sure if that includes the regular non-Preferred Sapphire) like Freedom or FU if you want to stay within the UR arena or to a Slate if you won't care for that card. You can't have a Preferred and a Reserve at the same time. It's a "one or the other" deal.
On chase sapphire reserve can we get the 100$ discount on round trip tickets like Ritz-Carlton credit card by visa infinite?
Actually the 10k can be spread across all your accounts I got approved for CSR and my largest CL on 1 card is 7k
Mine is on the way I’m a little excited
I’ve had the CSP for over a year. I haven’t spent my points yet. But I’d like to upgrade to the CSR. I know that I can upgrade and transfer my points, but am I forgoing the CSR point bonus doing that? How can I upgrade to the CSR and get the point bonus?

Love your channel Sebby!!
Shouldve used a digimon reference the digivolution allows for backwards movement.
Next time ;)
love the pokemon analogy!! (and all your analogies)
Immediate a like to the video when hearing the Pokemon reference, suits perfectly.
Great Video as usual and very informative. I just have a quick question. So if I open the CSP and get the bonus then maybe 18months later i upgrade to CSR, would i get the sign-up bonus for that as well? If not how long do i have to wait till i am qualified to get a sign-up bonus? Thank you
No, only one sapphire bonus is possible in a 48 month period
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.
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.
The recent Federal rate cut, how does it effect us when applying for cards, do it now or later?
Your APR should reflect a small decrease with the change on any card that uses a "variable APR rate". This means that if it goes up, your APR will go up and vice versa.
I have an AmEx from my credit union, how do I go about going further with Amex?
The Pokémon analogy is half the reason for my upvote 😂
😁
Gotta churn them aaaall! Sebbymon!
Dalton Stevens same
My wife and I both got the preferred due to a split purchase that allowed us to each hit the 60k bonus. I'll eventually switch to a reserve but she has no plans to use the card and I'll want her to downgrade. Should she use her card for the remainder of the year getting 1% (she makes minimal purchases) so that chase doesn't think she just got it for the bonus? (which we actually did)
YES if your wife wants more cards from chase and have only recently hit that min spend (your wife probably won't want to be bad side of chase), NO if your wife doesn't care about chase cards or if it has already been close to a year and it's almost time for annual fee fun time. OR just have her apply for a freedom unlimited for 1.5% if you want the extra points, then product change her CSP to a regular freedom once she hits the 1 year mark.
Can we upgrade our current credit cards to a new one without opening a new account?
Loved the Pokemon reference!!!!!
If I got the preferred last year, do I need to wait 2 years to be re-eligable for the sign up bonus?
If you got it last year then you need to wait 3 more years
say you downgrade a capital one card. You can get rewards every 6 months would you downgrade or cancel then 6 months later apply for the same card again? Or should you not do this?
So if you have to Sapphire preferred right now can you upgrade a Chase Freedom to Chase Sapphire Reserve. Had CF over 24 months
I know you said that getting credit limit moved has been fine for you. How has PCing frequently worked? I know you say you move between CSR to lower annual fee card as you feel necessary (such as when the Prestige was competitive). Has that also had no deleterious affect?
Can you upgrade to the CSR from the Chase Slate, but I only have $5500 CL on it, and already fall in the 5-24 rule chase has (so can't really get anymore Chase cards!)? Do you really need the 10k CL to upgrade to the CSR? I can increase my limit but will have to sacrifice an inquiry, and don't really want to do that since I can get just get a different card from a different bank
What does the 10k credit limit have to do with upgrading? Could you explain
Your credit profile has to be able to qualify you for a 10K limit card. Usually if you have other cards in the 5-10K limit, you should be fine.
I have the discover it card (14 months)and the chase freedom (8 months) with a “760” credit score according credit karma and “740” according to FICO. I just applied for the csp but I’m waiting for them to review my file. How likely am I to get approved for the sapphire preferred?
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?
Covered here: ruclips.net/video/Adds1DCNB9g/видео.html
I went from CSP no fee to CSP fee when the bonus was changed to 60k earlier this year with no issue. Shouldn't that have been impossible?
Can i transfer my credit limit from my csp to my freedom unlimited. Then upgrade my csp to the CSR and get a overall bigger credit limit
a) Yes.
b) Your credit limit has to be at least $10k to do the upgrade.
c) Requesting a larger credit limit has nothing to do with the upgrade / moving limits around.
Good video.
Question: If I want to drop credit limits on two of my Chase cards (as I want to apply for a new card), is it better to secure message or call direct? I don't think Chase will give me more credit.
Juan Campos I would just apply for the card and if denied call the rep and ask then why you got denied blah blah blah and ask “can I please move over existing limit from my other cards to open this new account, I really love the benefits blah blah blah”. Because if u remove credit and apply and get denied that credit is gone and not coming back
@@daveco3217 Thank you!
I reduced a limit on one card before applying for my next card. Got the second card with no issues and regretted asking for the reduced limit before applying. Keeping the previous limit would have given me a better credit utilization for my credit score
@@JohnsonMichael12 Thank you!
Notification crew! I love my CSR...
I would just apply for CSR! I am not going to wait for a year just to upgrade.
If you ever hold a Sapphire card without having received the welcome bonus, you can always get the bonus in the future. You just need to downgrade your current Sapphire, wait for the downgrade to register in your account, and then apply for a new Sapphire.
In my case, I am well over 5/24, and I know I can get high positive value by upgrading to the Sapphire Reserve now. So that's what I'll do. Then in 1-1/2 years I'll be ready to downgrade and apply to earn a nice welcome bonus.
Confirmed @ 1:38, I tried 2 months ago downgrading my CSR to Freedom, and I was told I need to have had the card for a year before able to product change, which coincidentally came this past Sunday. Been thinking about downgrading it. Were you going to do another vid on CSR per your last vid?
Right here :) ruclips.net/video/mpsos5xjj2Y/видео.html
Any advice for those who have the CSP, didn't reach minimum spend in time to get the 60k bonus, but would like to get the CSR?
Downgrade to freedom, then apply for csr?
Can you transfer UR points to Chase transfer partners if you have the Chase Sapphire card? (The regular CS, not CSP or CSR).
You should. The Preferred and Reserve only add point multipliers and protections to the base Sapphire benefits.
What if I have the reserved already can I apply for the preferred to get the sign up bonus than later down grade to freedom ?
As long as you don't violate any of the rules (48 month, One Sapphire, etc.): www.asksebby.com/blog/rules-to-know-for-chase-credit-card-applications
Is there a point to upgrading to a Chase Sapphire Preferred? I have the original Chase Sapphire, lots of the perks but no annual fee.
Run the numbers. Everything is a math equation: www.asksebby.com/credit-cards/chase-sapphire-preferred-vs-chase-sapphire-reserve-calculator
Say I move available credit from IHG to Freedom, does that mean I loss the MC World Elite Status on my IHG?
I think you would cus for World elite the minimum has to be that 10k credit limit
Quick question so I just went through the process to upgrade my CSP 2 days ago and I had to move around my limit from the freedom and unlimited to hit the 10k. (What a coincidence lol) I’ve had my CSP for about a year and called so see if I upgraded would I get the bonus. The rep said no but I couldn’t get the bonus it’s just for new accounts I upgraded anyways because I’ve been spending a lot and than after wondered if I would have applied for the CSR directly and downgraded my CSP to the slate would I be allowed to get the bonus?
If 48 months had passed from first getting the CSP bonus, you would get the CSR bonus
Any advise for upgrading and/or downgrading Capital one credit cards ??
Eric Sanchez they suck, I’ve had one for about 10 years and I have no where to go. I’m keeping it open for the credit history
Lakmal Antony yep , I can agree they really suck, iv had them for 5 years . They have been helpful to build my credit. But I honestly hit a dead end with them and it’s really sad how a big company like that can’t seem to help there own customers.
So there's no way to upgrade or downgrade a capital one card?
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?
They refund you the old annual fee and charge you the new one.
@@AskSebby I thought they would prorate the refund of the prior fee and charge the full fee for the new card to where it would be 12mo from that new date?
Hey Sebby, is it possible to get the CSR from a CFU after 13 months?
www.asksebby.com/blog/chase-product-change-rules-2018
Can you move limits from business cards to personal cards? Also do the business cards have minimum limits, (10k I'm guessing)?
No, business and personal credit limits are separate.
@@AskSebby thanks!
6:17 Does Chase still have the Chase Sapphire card? I only see the Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve.
If I am not mistaken, you cannot apply for that card, you have to downgrade from any sapphire card. The chase sapphire has no annual fee and hardly any perks.
Hi guys. I currently 4 credit cards including chase sapphire preferred. My freedom unlimited application is pending. Can I apply for Amex gold while application is pending?
If you don't have other Amex cards, Platinum first is generally more optimal from a math perspective: ruclips.net/video/9rIbBMjX8ZA/видео.html
Do car loans count towards the 05/24 rule ?
Renier Santiesteban No installment loans, only credit cards.
Yay new vid! #SebbySquad #NotificationSquad #RUclipsAlgorithm
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.
Yes, it's issued as a $300 statement credit. CSR travel credit is the most flexible to use.
Thank you for the response. I was debating between the CSR and Amex Plat. I was leaning towards the CSR so I can use the $300 credit towards the $500 round trip but wasn’t sure if I can do that since it’s more than $300. Thank you for confirming. Will use your link at your site at the right time. Your videos have been very informative and inspirational. Thank you for that.
@@scarlettjung4531 I'd grab the CSR first anyways. Worst case, you have an "out" in Year 2 (downgrade path).
I LOVE the Platinum card but the lack of downgrade paths can be problematic if live happens.
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
If you upgrade from freedom to Sapphire then you won’t get bonuses but if you sign up new account you will
No bonus for upgrades: ruclips.net/video/Adds1DCNB9g/видео.html
No bonus if you currently hold a CS/CSP/CSR: www.asksebby.com/blog/rules-to-know-for-chase-credit-card-applications
@@jbarres80 Yep. It's generally better off to sign up for new cards for this reason.
You should have done dragonball z example then i would have understood
Please focus on topic. No need to go over all the permutations. Super frustrating
Does upgrading (from CSP to CSR in my case) cause a hard pull on my credit?
No
Can someone let me know their experience with trying to get both sapphire bonuses? My plan was to open to the preferred, have it for a year, close it, bonus hunt else where for the 24 months (time required by chase to qualify for a bonus again & while staying aware of 5/24 obvi), then get the reserve. Thoughts?
No, Sapphire cards have a 48 month rule (4 years).
4th???
Hi Sebby! Does using my debit card to purchase things affect my debt-to-income ratio?
Thanks!
No. However, it goes against maximizing your spend to get benefits.
Thanks !
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.
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.
Even if the fee hits, it's refunded if you cancel/downgrade within 30 days.
You can generally downgrade to Freedom, CFU, Slate, CS, CSP: www.asksebby.com/blog/chase-product-change-rules-2018
