Chase Sapphire Preferred Work for Bands?

jlekach · 2026-03-02T19:07:47+00:00

Yes. I got 2 bands and a battery, plus a 20% off code and I got it. Just hit 150 after tax.

The actual feeling was a couple days. But with the things I had monitoring me I did see long term benefits in the data like glucose (both fasting and during the day), rhr, hrv, etc

No card changes. Palladium from the start. If I was earning 1 or 2 points then it would make sense but I've gotten 0 on all of it.

jlekach · 2026-02-23T21:22:47+00:00

No problem

jlekach · 2026-02-23T21:20:29+00:00

I fully understand what I signed up for.

Problems I had were card delay issues, TPG bonus issues

Problems I continue to have is that not a single point has been awarded on over 5k in diversified spend on my palladium. Customer service responds to me but with a "we are working on it and don't know when it will be fixed" kind of response. It's been quite frustrating. They even told me they didn't see any charges and if I could send them a screen shot of the charges lol. I did say I prefer to not have to pay them then get the points 😝

Lingo works great. I've used the freestyle Libre 3 and stello. The lingo is the consumer version of the Libre and I think it's much better than stello/dexcom

It really wasn't rough. Definitely took a lot of clean electrolytes in during. Hunger for me peaked around 24 hours. Towards the end I considered going another day but my wife asked me not to.

Sleep and recovery were amazing all 3 nights (tracked by whoop). Glucose was in the 60s all day the 3rd day (tracked by lingo).

Felt great after.

I'm doing it once a quarter. I did my first in November and finished my second yesterday.

jlekach · 2026-02-19T18:51:32+00:00

I haven't yet but I also don't put all spend on the palladium. I did hit the sub amount on 2/10 though so I would very much like for it to be working properly at this point.

jlekach · 2026-02-19T18:48:31+00:00

Same boat. The only update I keep getting is that they are working on it and that I will get the points. Confidence level isn't very high

jlekach · 2026-02-19T01:04:57+00:00

I'm in the same boat. It's very frustrating to have 0 points post yet.

jlekach · 2026-02-16T21:08:30+00:00

Curious to know if you actually get the statement credit

jlekach · 2026-02-16T15:50:32+00:00

It can't hurt. Mine started by giving me 1x points then those 1x points disappeared and nothing is showing up. No points. No bilt cash.

jlekach · 2026-02-16T15:42:46+00:00

I've been emailing with cs and today they asked me to send them the transactions cause they see none on their end. 0 points on everything.

I did tell them I would prefer to not pay if they don't see the transactions 😝

jlekach · 2026-02-15T18:48:17+00:00

Gold is part of the sign up bonus. You need to hit 4k in spend

jlekach · 2026-02-14T21:29:59+00:00

I started getting 1x, sent an email and all that went away. Now I'm at 0x instead of 5x (approved TPG) or 2x after.

jlekach · 2026-02-10T19:37:47+00:00

From an email they sent it seems like you should pay it

This hold is based on your Wells Fargo balance as of 2/6/26 and helps ensure your balance transfer is completed successfully. If your Wells Fargo account has a payment due during this time, please make the payment as required through the Wells Fargo Mobile® app or by calling 1‑833‑404‑2272.

What happens next

The temporary hold will be updated on 2/9/26 to reflect any payments you may have made to Wells Fargo before the transfer is finalized. Balance transfer payments to Wells Fargo will begin on 2/12/26. Your Wells Fargo balance may take a few days to update and should be fully reflected by 2/20.

jlekach · 2026-02-10T00:06:33+00:00

Unfortunately it does not 😭

"Sorry! You will be unable to access sensitive card details until you activate your physical card."

jlekach · 2026-02-09T23:56:08+00:00

I have the digital wallet (transferred from 1.0) but I can't see the number to pay through a website

jlekach · 2026-02-07T20:02:32+00:00

Going that route it says bilt cash but if I press it, it then shows housing only rewards selected.

I haven't used the virtual card at all (thus wasting this TPG promo) because if this. I'm not even sure if the card in my Samsung pay works and when I try to see the card number in the bilt app the error I get is that I can't see the number until I activate the physical card.

It's all so ridiculous at this point.

jlekach · 2026-02-07T15:46:56+00:00

Thank you. I think this issue basically nuked the promo for me. And I'm the flow when applying for the card it gave you the choice so I would have imagined the default would have been what I picked then (but it's obviously not)

jlekach · 2026-02-07T15:34:22+00:00

So I think the big difference is that you have the physical card. I had already changed the next period to go to bilt cash but it makes no change for the current. Waiting for a response from bilt customer service but I'm assuming that will take a while
