Chase has confirmed a limited-time change to its popular Sapphire Preferred card promotion, and the 100,000-point welcome bonus will not be available for much longer. Card seekers and travel hackers are racing to decide whether to apply before the incentive disappears or shifts to a smaller bonus.
What the 100,000-point promotion means for applicants
The headline figure — 100,000 points — is a headline-grabbing incentive designed to attract new cardmembers. Chase’s confirmation signals that the promotion window is closing, and that timing now matters for people weighing a new application.

Sapphire Preferred 100,000-point bonus ending soon: last chance to apply
- Issuers often limit such deals to new accounts or first-time applicants.
- Bonus qualifications typically require meeting a spending threshold within a set time.
- Check the official offer page for exact terms before applying.
How to confirm eligibility and avoid surprises
Eligibility rules can be strict. Chase applies a combination of account history and internal rules to decide who can get a bonus.
Key checks before hitting submit
- Review your Chase account history for recent Sapphire approvals.
- Confirm you haven’t received a similar welcome bonus on the same product.
- Read the fine print for the spending requirement and deadline.
Practical steps to apply before the offer ends
If you decide to go for the card, act quickly but deliberately. Rushing can lead to mistakes that disqualify you later.
- Locate the confirmed offer on Chase’s site or a partner link.
- Prepare documents: ID, income, and current address information.
- Plan your spending so you can meet the bonus requirement responsibly.
Ways to get the most from 100,000 points
One big bonus can unlock travel, statement credits, or transfers to airline and hotel partners. Your strategy should match how you redeem points.
- Compare redemption paths: travel portal vs. transfer partners.
- Look for high-value options when booking flights or hotels.
- Consolidate point balances to increase flexibility.
Tip: Redeeming strategically can boost the real-world value of the points.
Why Chase might pull or change the promotion
Issuers adjust bonuses for competitive and financial reasons. Limited-time boosts drive new accounts. When too many people sign up, banks may pare offers back.
Alternatives if you miss the deadline
If the 100,000-point bonus lapses, you still have options. Many cards rotate offers or maintain steady rewards that suit frequent travelers.
- Look for other Chase cards with transfer partners.
- Consider cards with high ongoing earnings instead of a one-time bonus.
- Watch for targeted or regional promotions sent by email.
Common questions and quick answers
- Is the offer confirmed? Yes — Chase has acknowledged the ending window.
- How long do I have? The exact cutoff is shown on the offer page; act before that date.
- Will Chase extend it? Extensions happen, but they are not guaranteed.
