Should I upgrade from chase sapphire preferred to reserve? They said I won’t get the bonus - is it still worth it?

Reserve has travel benefits which you may not be using right now... paying that high yearly fee and not reaping the travel rewards would be hard for me to justify.

That said, if there was no pandemic, absolutely yes. Especially if you travel a lot. I think they are doing cash back on groceries through Q3? Right now

Not worth the annual fee if you don’t get the sign on points.

No, matter of fact, cancel the sapphire. It’s covid season.

Just apply for it separately and get the bonus. Transfer the points and then downgrade the preferred

They upped the fee to $550 but gave a $100 refund to everyone. Credits on Lyft/Doordash may be additional..not sure if those were across the board

Not without the bonus.

Apply for reserve and downgrade preferred to freedom or freedom unlimited

I like the chase Amazon card... no outrageous fee and 5% back at Amazon and wf

I’ve had the card for almost 4 years. Been thinking about downgrading it but want to spend all of my points first LOL! They increased the fee to $550 per year but waived $100 off this year due to covid.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster.

I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
