[YMMV] Chase Increased Sign Up Bonuses (175k Chase Sapphire Reserve, 125k Chase Sapphire Preferred & More)

The Offer

No direct link to offer, showing via app. Might also show when checking for pre-approved offers?

• Chase is offering some people increased offers on credit cards when they check for pre-approved offers. Some sample offers:
  • Chase Sapphire Reserve: 175,000 points after $6,000 in spend (current public is 100,000 points)
  • Chase Sapphire Preferred: 125,000 points (current public is 75,000 points)
  • Chase Freedom Unlimited: $300 bonus (current public is $200)

Our Verdict

Recent increased offer on Sapphire Preferred was 100,000 points and on Sapphire Reserve it was 150,000 points so these offers are bigger than this. As mentioned the reddit user that posted this saw it in app but the image shows them as pre-approved so I wonder if checking the pre-approval tool will help?

F.A.Q’s

Will these bypass 5/24?

Some ‘selected for you’ offers bypass 5/24. I’ve never seen a ‘you’re approved’ offer bypass it. 

How do I get targeted?

You don’t. You’re either targeted or your not. 

Where do these offers show up?

Can you stack a referral bonus with this?

No

Which offer is best?

Depends on how you value the benefits on each card but for most people either the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve will be the best option. 

Are there any offer card issuers that do this?

Yes. Periodically most of the major card issuers offer higher bonuses via pre-approvals. There is a full list of places you check for pre-approvals here.
