Why Travel Freely Likes It
Really great all-around card for the frequent traveler. Despite the $795 annual fee, if you travel frequently, this is a great card to consider for the many benefits. In addition to the generous points bonus, this card also comes with a $300 annual travel credit and an additional $500 annual The Edit by Chase Travel® credit (offered bi-annually in two $250 increments for stays 2 nights or more) totaling $800 in travel credit value annually. You'll also receive Priority Pass Select lounge access, up to a $120 fee credit towards Global Entry, Nexus or TSA PreCheck®, primary auto rental coverage, strong travel protection benefits and no foreign transaction fees.
The best way to redeem your points is by transferring them to partner loyalty programs or through Chase Travel where cardholders can get up to 2 cents per point on select flights and hotels, while other redemptions default to 1 cent per point.
Here’s what we know so far regarding eligibility:
⚬ If you’ve had the Chase Sapphire Reserve before, you won’t qualify for the current welcome offer.
⚬ For those holding the Sapphire Preferred, the best move is to downgrade to a no-annual-fee card like the Chase Freedom Unlimited® before applying. Chase has also added a new pop-up tool that shows eligibility before a hard credit pull, which helps reduce the guesswork around approvals.
