Ok. Me again. Thanks all for the help.
Currently have CSR, wife as authorized user.
The plan:
Step 1 - Wife applies for CSP & earns 100k points
Step 2 - I get freedom unlimited (CFU) & earn 25k points
Step 3 - I move my current points to CFU and cancel the CSR
Step 4 - I apply for CSP and earn 100k points
Step 5 - Wife applies for CFU and earns 25k points
Step 6 - Wife cancels her CSP and carries only the CFU going forward
Step 7 - I upgrade the CSP to CSR and carry CSR and CFU

1. Don't apply for the Freedom, downgrade your CSR
2. Apply for new CSP if it's been 4 years since you received the bonus on your CSR. Have your wife refer you
3. I'd never waste a hard pull and a 5/24 slot on a Freedom card, there are far superior offers out there

Don't try and plan things out 10 moves in advance. Chase bonus rules, offers, etc. will likely change by that time.

OP, based on the questions you keep posting, you haven't done much (if any research). Spend 15 mins on Google and find some of these answers for yourself.

Well originally I thought you were on top of things but then ya start asking questions like "If I get a Freedom, will that prevent me from getting a CSP bonus?"

PwC Author, as I mentioned earlier, has it been 48 months since you got the CSR? If not then you won’t get the bonus by apply yourself

I’m pretty sure that it’s only not having a Sapphire bonus (CSR or CSP) within the last 48 months. That said, out of caution maybe apply for the CSP first. Or contact chase too

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that.

He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

How common are credit checks for roles in accounting or finance positions? Will high utilization on credit card balances and low credit score be a deal breaker? I’ve been irresponsible and made mistakes, but wondering if I can switch jobs now or if I’m best off waiting 1-2 years and cleaning up my credit first.
