Update 5/8/25: online offer officially ends at 9 am EDT on May 15, 2025 (per TPG)
Original Post 5/7/25:
We know that the 100,000 points bonus offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred card is slated to “end soon”, sometime May 12th or later.
There’s now a Reddit post from discounted_cash_flow reporting that the offer is slated to end:
- Online applications will end on Thursday, May 15, 2025. (It sounds to me that May 15th itself the offer still be live.)
- Applications in a Chase branch will end on May 17th. (The 17th is a Saturday, so for branches closed on Saturday it would make May 16th the last day.)
There are often various links that float around after the official end date; this report gives us a baseline to work with. Usually these types of Reddit reports end up being accurate.
We don’t know when the $300 Rakuten bonus will end.
Two other tidbits worth keeping in mind:
- The 5/24 count goes back under 5/24 on the first of the same month in which your 5th card’s 2-year anniversary hits. For example, if your 5th card was opened on 4/15/2023, then you are good on 4/1/2025.
- If you are going to drop under 5/24 soon, you can apply now and get denied. Then, contact reconsideration after you get under 5/24. You should have 30 days to get the application reconsidered.
