Our Verdict
I tried a few times with no luck, then tried with a VPN and got it on the first try (though subsequent VPN attempts were unsuccessful). Not sure if VPN helps, but you can poke around with incognito, mobile, and VPN and hopefully you’ll be able to pull it up. Some people are getting a spend requirement of $30k and some are getting $20k. We now have a direct link (above) which is consistently pulling up the offer and shows the superior $20k offer.
Standard bonus on the card is 50k + 5k AU bonus, this 80,000 offer is significantly better for someone who can meet the required spend within the year. Remember you won’t be eligible if you are at 5/24. Also remember that you can only hold one Sapphire card and that you can only get one Sapphire bonus within 24 months.
Keep in mind there’s no 5k AU bonus mentioned here, though usually you do get the authorized user bonus even if it’s not specifically mentioned. T
here is an extra $16,000 of spend required to get the second 30,000 UR bonus. Being that you could be earning 1.5 UR points with the Freedom Unlimited card, you are ‘losing’ 8k in points there leaving the total extra bonus to 22,000 points. (If the $5k AU bonus doesn’t work, it’ll be another 5k less.)
Interesting to see an emphasis on spend, wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more of this on other cards as well as they test these kinds of offers out. Check out these 26 Things Everybody Should Know About Chase Credit Cards before applying.

Can chase match signup bonus..i applied yesterday for 50k offer
I read in this website till 90 days. Is it true?
Normally they will match within 90 days, sometimes they won’t if the offer is too different but I think you will be OK in this case. Give it a go and report back
I tried both secured message and customer service and they dont give matchup offer. They ask to close current account and apply on new link.
I also applied yesterday and don’t get match up after sending secured message, is there anyone succeed?
Thanks for the post! I also applied yesterday, but I did a double dip with CSR and CSP. Would it draw unwanted attention to go for the match since I got approved for two Sapphire cards? Is this actually an issue, or just something that shouldn’t have worked?
don’t risk attention. you’re not supposed to sign up for 2 chase sapphires at once
Thank you; great point. Looks like they are denying anyway, and I will use the spend for other cards. Thank you!
Doesn’t look like they are matching anyway
Received 50,000, but 30,000 still nowhere to be found after meeting $20,000 spend requirement. Statement closed yesterday and no points, which is a first.
Does anyone know if there are cases in which Chase does NOT post sign up bonus after statement closes in which the requirements are met?
STILL have not received 30,000 points. I met spend two billing cycles ago.
Beware that this might get complicated for anyone who signed up for the offer. I’ve sent multiple secure messages, contacted customer support and after being assured the additional 30,000 would post after closing date of statement, still did NOT receive the 30,000
Hi Alex, have you received the additional 30K pts? Thanks!
Just got 50k version. SM request for match denied on 8/9/18.

Hi,
I had a CSP opened in Feb 2016 got 50k at that time. I did a PC to Chase Sapphire in Apr 2018.
Now Can I apply for CSP and get the 50k Bonus? in other words, do they count the No fee CS Card also in the Sapphire family based on which they can reject my CSP application?
I know I should have PC’ed to FU. I already have Freedom.
TIA

Is this offer dead now? Can’t get it to show up, using different browsers, on Incognito Mode.
It’s always been YMMV
Is this deal still alive? Have a few more weeks before I go under 5/24 – double checked but only seeing the 50k offer
Is it only me or someone else also wondering why to go for additional 30k UR Points after spending $20k, when you could apply for 4 or 5 other cards over the next 1 year and potentially earn much more than 30k Points equivalent in Bonus with the spend of total $20k?
Am I missing anything here?
50k URs on spending $4k is a good offer though.
Just got this card in the mail exactly one week ago. Already spent 24k. (No I don’t carry balances ever) So just wondering how long it takes for all those bonus points to come. I already got the 10k for friend referral. I signed up with the 80k bonus 🙂
Dang. Two years ago I could only get a secured card and Credit Karma colored me red. Followed advice from this site and just got instantly approved for the Sapphire Preferred with a $17,000 limit. Thank you DoC!
Does the 24-month Sapphire clock reset when you get the additional 30K points?
Yes
