$1000 cash back less:
- $95 annual fee
- $50-100 opportunity cost for spending $5000 on a card that only gives 1%cb when you could have gotten 2-3%cb.
Still over $800 tax-free profit. Not bad at all.
Considering it. I have one more application before I hit chase 5/24, then wait for a boosted amex gold or platinum bonus.
Any 0% apr period on this?
Will they treat a tax payment at pay1040 as a cash advance? Most credit card vendors treat it as a purchase.

Why are you waiting for the referral link? My understanding is the referrer will earn some points and he/she might be willing to send you some money, for example, $50.
Besides the above, what are the benefits of using the referral link? Will using the referral link increase the probability of getting approved of your application?
All in all it was pretty hassle free.
Good info on the referral rate!
All in all it was pretty hassle free.
Current referral links are still only offering 60k--- rumors on reddit that 100k referrals for individuals will be live next week (8th was what I read)
Any idea how much gap do you need between downgrading a sapphire and being eligible for a bonus?

- Preferred = 100 K points at 25% bonus = $1250 of travel credit
- Sapphire = 60K at 50% bonus = $900 of travel credit
There's obviously other differences in the cards, but for the sake of argument let's say the $300 extra in annual fees on the Sapphire evens those outIf you need to use the points before the upgrade, you're still ahead.
I would say once your Chase account has updated to show you no longer have the sapphire card you should be good.
You can then choose to search for hotels, flights, etc.
Similar to sites like expedia.

I opened the card in 2021, but not sure when the bonus came in.
