I currently have a Chase sapphire Preferred card that I opened 5 years ago. Is it worth to upgrade to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card? If so, am I still eligible for the welcome bonus points?

There’s a good chance she’ll be declined as she’ll be viewed as a CSP card holder, but she can call the reconsideration line if declined and just mentioned that she’s an authorized user (vs account holder) and she may be able to still be approved.

Otherwise, I would recommend the strategy mentioned above of downgrading card to a freedom and then applying to be eligible for the bonus.

Worth to upgrade? Depends on your spending and travel habits.

Eligible for welcome bonus? Yes, but you'll need to downgrade the CSP to one of the Freedom cards and then reapply for the CSR.

Thanks! My wife is an authorized user on my CSP. Can she apply for reserve without me downgrading CSP? I will downgrade eventually.

I was just checking my salary slip on new payroll tool and found some interesting things.
There is some ex-gratia 3 amount ( less then rs. 500) and income tax deducted is more then last months (which is unusual as I have declared my fbp and IT declaration in oct only). Upon checking in IT statement found I got gift perk of around rs 4500 but it eas not added to my salary in account. Did anyone know where is this gift perk and how can I use this ?

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago.

Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
