Everyone is talking about the 100K Chase Sapphire Preferred offer right now, but let's take the long view and look back at some historical patterns across Chase cards over the last several years.

How often do these elevated offers come up and what offers can we expect? In what phases does Chase tend to roll out these offers?

How do elevated offers for Ultimate Rewards cards compare to those for co-branded cards?

What happens if you opened a card right before an elevated offer becomes available?

We answer all of that in today's episode to help you strategize.
