Time is running out on the Chase Sapphire Reserve®‘s best-ever welcome offer.
You can earn 100,00 bonus Chase points and a $500 Chase TravelSM promo credit after you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases within three (3) months of being approved for the card. The promotion expires on Thursday, August 21. (Learn more here on Chase’s website.)
(All information about the Chase Sapphire Reserve® was collected independently by Eye of the Flyer. It was neither provided nor reviewed by the card issuer.)
Keep in mind, this is the refreshed Chase Sapphire Reserve®. It carries a $795 annual fee and packs a load of benefits that may (or may not) be worthwhile for you.
I wrote a fairly detailed post about the refreshed card and included my honest take on the new features here.
Points Earnings
- 8X on Chase Travel hotel and cars
- 8X on flights booked through Chase Travel℠
- 8X on cruises, activities and tours booked through Chase Travel℠
- 4X on flights and hotel purchases made directly with the airlines and hotels, respectively
- 3X on dining
- 1X on general/other travel (i.e., rideshare, taxi, bus, subway, parking, etc) (reduced from 3X)
- Ironic, given that Chase boasts the CSR as “the most flexible travel credit available.”
- 1X on all other eligible purchases
$300 Travel Credit
Cardmembers can earn up to $300 each member year in eligible travel purchases charged to their cards.
$500 The Edit Statement Credit
Cardmembers can earn up to $500 yearly on prepaid stays of two nights or more through Chase’s The Edit collection. (Up to $250 from January through June, and up to $250 from July through December.)
The Edit features (generally) luxury hotels that are “hand-picked collection of unforgettable hotels and resorts, with complimentary benefits like a $100 property credit, daily breakfast for 2, a room upgrade (if available) and more.” Think Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts but Chase’s version.
Complimentary IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite Status
CSR members receive complimentary IHG Platinum status. You can earn IHG Diamond status if you spend $75,000 on your card during a calendar year.
$300 Annual Dining Credit
Sapphire Reserve members can earn up to $150 in statement credit from January through June and $150 from July through December at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants.
It’s not like you get $300 to earn back at any restaurant.
$250 Apple Music and Apple TV+ Credit
CSR members can earn to $250 in statement credit each year for Apple Music and Apple TV+ subscriptions. You must opt in through the Chase app. Any existing Apple Music and AppleTV+ subscriptions will be canceled. (Apple Music and AppleTV+ are available on Android devices, by the way.)
Apple One subscriptions are not eligible. (Boo!)

Cardmembers can earn “up to $25 each month to spend on DoorDash, which includes a $5 monthly promo to spend on restaurant orders and two $10 promos each month to save on groceries, retail orders and more.”
They can also take advantage of a complimentary DashPass Membership (worth $120 annually). Make sure you activate that by December 31, 2027.

Any ideas on how to qualify for the reserve if you have a preferred card? I keep reading they have allowed multiple cards, but I have been denied and so have other people. I’d love to get the bonus… anyone, Buehler…
Here’s the language:
“100,000 Bonus Points After You Spend $5,000 On Purchases In The First 3 Months From Account Opening: This credit card is unavailable to you if you currently have one open. The new cardmember bonus may not be available to you if you currently have any other personal Sapphire cards open, previously held this card or received a new cardmember bonus for this card. We may also consider the number of cards you have opened and closed, as well as other factors in determining your bonus eligibility.”
Maybe product change the Sapphire Preferred to something like the Flex or Freedom Unlimited. Barring that, you could close the Sapphire Preferred.
