How I Got My CSR And What Was Missing

You’ve read enough about the Chase Sapphire Reserve already, so I won’t go into details about what it offers, how you can get it and that in-branch work around for those over 5/24.

CSR

As you might expect, I am way over 5/24 since I apply myself for most cards that I write about on this blog. So the secret on my shiny new CSR is… it’s my father’s. And the best I can do is be an authorized user on the account so I can be cool like all the other bloggers. You can’t tell AU cards apart anyway.

Now the surprising part about today’s delivery. As you can tell, I was super excited to open my father’s mail. I thought this would have been some useless correspondence from Chase but it was actually a Chase Sapphire Reserve card inside. I have seen the pictures and even videos on the unboxing of the CSR so I was let down to say the least. I would have liked to do a “CSR unboxing video” to give my YouTube channel a jump start.

I didn’t have the card expedited, so that can’t be the reason for the missing fancy box. Did Chase get way more applications than expected for the CSR and didn’t make enough fancy boxes? I don’t know the answer, but I will complain.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know not to get your hopes up. Anybody else received a sad envelope instead of the fancy box?

  1. Would be great if you could get bonus twice 😀 Chase have been kind of a mess with this CSR release

    1. Just got mine in on the same envelope lol 😂😂😂
      My sapphire preferred had a nicer envelope

  2. I applied on Aug 25th. Called them on Aug 30th to have expedited. On Aug 31st, I got 2 packages. A box and an envelope both from UPS next day saver. The envelope had my CSR, the metal one. The package had the box and had another CSR but, it was a plastic version that was like a regular credit card. It had raised numbers in the front like a regular credit card. They both had the same card numbers, expiration dates, and security number.

  3. […] have seen them add 5/24 language to the application for the first time and they have even seemingly run out of the fancy packaging they send to new […]

  4. ha that really sucks. chase must have been bombarded with applications. you could tell. all of last week was just CSR and nothing else. Mine came in a fancy box. I have to say though that your title is a bit click bait-y. I’ve been reading the blog for a few months now and I have to say that my favorite thing is that you have no exclamations and no bombastic or click bait titles. just plain info. keep up the good work

    1. 🙁 i’ll admit to the click baity part, but hey it’s the CSR.

      Thanks for reading Karl. I appreciate the nice words.

  5. My fiancé’s card showed up last week in a sad envelope. No fancy box for him :/

    1. class action lawsuit maybe? 🙂
