No hike like last year ?!
Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express

OP, a couple points not mentioned in other comments:
-It needs to be 4 years since you received the CSR bonus, not since you opened the card
-Make sure to burn / use all your credits before downgrading to a Freedom product
Perfect. Thanks. Getting on the phone with them now
I think you might be able to downgrade CSR to Freedom or Freedom Unlimited then you can apply for the CSP again for the bonus. May want to double check of course
Also keep in mind the time requirement is 4 years since you received the sign-up bonus, not 4 years since you got the card. Be careful not to miss that 3 month nuance.
OP, you cannot hold two sapphire cards at once and you can only get 1 sapphire sign up bonus every 4 years. So after 4 years has passed i would recommend downgrading your CSR to the ORIGINAL chase freedom (this card is only available by card transfers, its different than the chase freedom flex, dont downgrade to that one since its a good one to open for a new signup bonus). Then i would open the CSP to go for signup bonus. There wont be a credit pull on the downgrade, you will keep your credit limit, pts, et cetera. Only way to get a signup bonus is from a new card opening not from a transfer. I’d say when you are ready to downgrade just call the number on your sapphire card, they will help you downgrade as well as confirm you are eligible for sign up bonus on sapphire preferred. Dm me if more questions

I'd never encourage someone to go after the SUB on the Freedom Flex if they're actually in the points and miles game. It's a horrible SUB for a 5/24 slot 😂

Downgrade to one of the no-annual-fee Freedom cards and then apply for a CSP. If you downgrade to a CSP you don’t get a sign-up bonus and aren’t eligible to apply for another sapphire card
