Chase matched 100k sign up bonus after 60k approval

I applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred on March 13th after downgrading to the Freedom Unlimited. I applied online and was approved for the 60k sign up bonus.

I found out this weekend they were offering (or will be offering) a 100k in-branch bonus. I called Chase today and asked if they could match the bonus or at least give me some extra points since l've referred several people to the CSP. The first rep I spoke with said there was nothing they could do and so the call ended. I called back 10 mins later asking to speak with the retention department. I informed the customer service rep about the situation and she said she would escalate it for me. I ended up never transferring to retention.

I also asked via a secured message through the Chase portal. I received a message about 2 to 3 hours later via the portal saying they would be happy to match the offer since I had not yet met the required spend.

Once I meet the required spend, they said to send them an e-mail again to claim the offer. I wanted to share my experience since l've seen a couple posts already asking about this.

Not sure if this might play a role in their decision to match but I have the following cards and do most of my spend within the Chase ecosystem:

Hope this helps!
