I just got new Sapphire cards in the mail, and my statement now says it is a Sapphire card, and my points have been automatically transferred. I had the Freedom for the 3%!! I am not sure I have been getting it however, because my points look much lower that what I should have had, tracking 1 for 1 with my purchases, recently. I read somewhere else that they changed this in May, but I never got a notice. I am PO'd. There is no reason for me not to go back to using my other cards. I here ya, Jonathan.

I used to have a Chase Freedom card and it was converted into a Chase Sapphire/Ultimate Rewards Card. I used to get 3% on my top 3 eligible categories of spending, which every month included groceries and gas. All of a sudden, I no longer get this, and I'm dropped to 1% rebate. The whole reason I got the card in the first place was the 3% back on groceries and gas! Arrrrgh! Total bulls***!

Making 1% is pretty decent for a credit card. Have you looked at Charles Schwab bank's credit card before? They offer 2% cash back ion purchases, deposited straight into your brokerage account.

It would like to steal customers from premium cards such as the American Express Black Card. But the Sapphire Card doesn't have all the trappings of a premium card and certainly doesn't charge the $500 annual fee that goes with them. That's why we think Chase may be willing to accept applicants of more modest means than its advertising might lead you to believe. There's nothing in the application or fine print that's different from most other middle-market credit cards. There's certainly no minimum income requirement. So if you like the card, we say give it a try. You might be surprised. Chase is definitely marketing the Sapphire card to high-income consumers, just as you say.

I’ve not even bothered to look into it further as I am single and only been working full time just over a year.
