Updated Terms for Approvals and Signup Bonuses with Sapphire Credit Cards

Chase has updated the offer details and approval requirements for its Sapphire family of cards. In Summary: If you have any card in the Sapphire product family or have received a new cardmember bonus from those cards in the past 48 months you're not eligible to be approved for another Sapphire family card. If you currently hold a Sapphire credit card you may be eligible to change the Sapphire card you have to a different card, but you will not receive a new cardmember bonus if you change cards.

Chase Adds JetBlue As An Ultimate Rewards Transfer Partner

Chase has added JetBlue TrueBlue as a transfer partner of Ultimate Rewards as of August 26, 2018. The move comes unannounced the day after Chase dropped Korean Air as a transfer partner, and does restore some value to Ultimate Rewards especially if you're a JetBlue loyalist. This won't get you to Australia in suites, but it could help you help you top off an account to try Mint service on a transcontinental flight.
