Any experience trying to get the extra 20k points retroactively? I got the Preferred a month ago…when the points were 60K. Am I just out of luck, or can I try calling customer service and asking for the 80K offer (like how a store will sometimes give you the sale price of an item if you have a recent receipt)?

In reply to Christine. That's a good catch! Chase currently only offers the 60k bonus through refer-a-friend links, but it could potentially rise later. We saw this with the last 80k offer (without the $50 statement credit) -- refer-a-friend links began generating 80k bonuses when the offer was nearing expiration.

I am a current Sapphire Preferred cardholder and sent a referral link to a friend; however, I am told that my link took them to an application that showed the previous bonus of 60,000 points. Do you know if someone who applies through a refer-a-friend link could be excluded from the extra bonus?

In reply to Cathy Wiegert. We're not sure, unfortunately Chase doesn't usually disclose that info.

How long will the increased bonus offers last?
