Chase Sapphire Reserve: 100K Bonus Points & $500 Credit!
The Chase Sapphire Reserve card has undergone a revamp, boasting over $2,700 in annual value but with a higher $795 annual fee. A limited-time offer provides new cardholders with a substantial 100,000-point bonus and a $500 Chase Travel credit after spending $5,000 in the first three months. This offer expires August 21st. The card offers various earning rates: 10x points on Peloton purchases, 8x on Chase Travel, 5x on Lyft rides (until 9/30/27), 4x on flights and hotels booked directly, 3x on dining, and 1x on other purchases. Points can be redeemed for statement credits or transferred to travel partners. Significant travel benefits include a $500 annual The Edit credit, Points Boost for enhanced redemption value, complimentary IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite Status, a flexible $300 annual travel credit, and Global Entry/TSA PreCheck credit. Additional perks encompass access to airport lounges, travel designers, and comprehensive travel protection. Elevated dining benefits include a $300 annual dining credit and access to exclusive dining experiences. Curated lifestyle rewards provide credits for Apple services, StubHub, Lyft, DoorDash, and Peloton. Spending $75,000 annually unlocks IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite Status, Southwest A-List status with a $500 credit, and a $250 credit for The Shops at Chase. Existing cardholders with applications prior to June 23, 2025, will see these benefits from October 26, 2025, with their annual fee adjusted then. The offer is not available to those with existing Sapphire cards or who have previously received a bonus for this card. Note that the $500 travel credit is one-time use and forfeits any remaining balance if used for a transaction under $500.
