Get 100,000 Ultimate Rewards Points with the All-New Chase Sapphire Reserve Card!
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a six-figure signup bonus on a travel credit card, but there’s no need to wait any longer.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve Card has officially arrived!
The big and much more powerful sibling to the top card all travelers know and love, the all new Chase Sapphire Reserve upgrades all the benefits of the Chase Sapphire Preferred, while offering high end benefits that compete with the Platinum Card from American Express, the Citi AA Executive card, and the Citi Thank You Preferred.

- Earn 1 point per $1 spent on all other purchases*
- Get 50% more value when you redeem for airfare, hotels, car rentals and cruises through Chase Ultimate Rewards®.* For example, 100,000 points are worth $1,500 toward travel

Why is this card so great?
There are a number or reasons why we believe that this new card is a great card for travelers. Here’s our top 3.
1. 100,000 Ultimate Rewards Points Signup Bonus.
One hundred thousand Ultimate Rewards Points is A LOT of points. You could easily transfer these points to an Ultimate Rewards airline parter for 4 domestic flights, or really get a lot of monetary value out of them by using them for a premium class award on a Singapore Airlines or Air France/KLM (also Ultimate Rewards Transfer Partners).
2. 3x Category Bonuses on Travel and Dining
Even after you spend your big signup bonus, you’ll be able to continue racking up the Ultimate Rewards Points with these everyday bonuses. We all have to eat. Plus, we all love to travel … right?
3. The $300 Travel Credit
Every year you keep the card, you’ll get a $300 travel credit. This credit alone nearly makes the annual fee of $450 worth it (the annual fee is NOT waived for the first year)—and in the first year, you can earn it twice, since it’s based on a January-December calendar cycle. The travel credit is automatically credited towards travel purchases you make on your card. There’s no need to designate an airline or purchase gift cards, like you have to do with airline credits for other cards.
If that’s not enough, you’ll also get Priority Pass lounge access, a $100 credit on your Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check application, and more. In short, there are so many great travel benefits to this card, it’s now easily the best of the best. If you can get it, don’t hesitate!
