Earn 75,000 Points On The Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card!
Table of Contents
Signup Bonus
You can earn 75,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points for opening a Chase Sapphire Reserve Card and spending $4,000 in 3 months. Those points are worth a minimum of $750 cash back or $1,112.50 towards travel and other categories, but they can be worth much more as shown below.
Also available is a 75,000 point offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card.
These cards were previously offering a 60,000 point signup bonus.
Annual Fee
$550 for the primary card and $75 for additional users.
Pay Yourself Back For The Annual Fee
You can use 44K points to pay yourself back the full $550 annual fee or you can use points at a value of 1.25 cents each to pay off any part of the annual fee.
Of course, you’ll still be able to take advantage of card benefits like the $300 annual travel credit, making all of your Chase points more valuable, and so much more.
Signup Bonus Terms
If you received your last Sapphire bonus on today’s date in 2020 or earlier, you are now eligible to earn another Sapphire bonus!
- You won’t get approved for this card if you have received a signup bonus on Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, or Sapphire card within the past 48 months. You can call Chase to find out when you last earned a bonus on those cards or you can pull up your old statements online to check when you last got a bonus. You can also send Chase a secure message with your old card number to ask when you got the signup bonus on it.
- You won’t get approved for this card if you currently have an active Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, or Sapphire card. However you can call Chase to change those cards to a Freedom Unlimited, Freedom, or Freedom Flex card, wait 2-4 days, and then apply for a Sapphire Reserve Card!
- You can apply and Chase won’t pull your credit or approve you if you are not eligible to get the card bonus.
- You will get the bonus for this card even if you are an authorized user on another person’s Sapphire card.
- If you are approved, that means you will get the bonus for this card as long as you spend $4,000 in 3 months.
5/24
Some Chase cards are subject to 5/24 restrictions, meaning that you might not be approved if you have been approved for 5 or more consumer credit cards in the past 24 months. Enforcement of 5/24 has been patchy for the past year and the only way to know if you can get approved is by trying to apply.
Note that the Chase system automatically counts cards like authorized user cards and store cards as cards that count towards 5/24, but if you explain to Chase that those cards are merely authorized user cards or store cards they can manually approve you for a new card.
You can check your credit report for free at the federally authorized annualcreditreport.com to check how many accounts are shows as being open in the past 24 months.
Card Earnings
- 3 points per dollar on travel, including airfare, hotels, car rentals, cruises, subways, trains, taxis, tolls, parking, Airbnb, Uber, etc.
- 3 points per dollar on dining, including sit-down or eat-in dining, including fast food restaurants and fine dining establishments, take-out, and restaurant delivery.
- 5 points per dollar on airfare booked through the Chase Travel.
- 10 points per dollar on Lyft spending through 3/31/25.
- 10 points per dollar on hotels and car rentals booked through Chase Travel.

- There are no foreign transaction fees.
$300 Annual Travel Credit
Cardholders get $300 in annual refunds that post automatically whenever you charge something that is categorized as travel, which includes airfare, Airbnb, car rentals, cruises, hotels, Lyft, subways, taxis, tolls, trains, Uber, UberEats, etc. It’s pretty easy to spend $300 over the course of a year given the wide range of eligible categories.
If you applied for your Sapphire Reserve on or after 5/21/17, the annual travel credit is based on your cardmembership year. In other words if you opened a card on 3/1/21 and your statement closes on the 1st of the month, you will get a $300 credit for travel spending from 3/1/21 through 4/1/22 and it will reset annually on 4/1.
If you applied for your Sapphire Reserve before 5/21/17, the annual travel credit is based on the calendar year.

Spend Threshold
You’ll need to spend $4,000 on this card within 3 months.
You can pay your federal taxes for a 1.82% fee.
My local natural gas company allows me to prepay up to $1,000 on a credit card for a $1.65 flat fee. That’s a great way to earn miles and help meet a spend threshold. My electricity supplier allows me to pay with a credit card for free as long as I am enrolled in autopay.
Card Benefits
Sapphire Reserve has a plethora of value benefits and protections:
- Free roadside assistance, including free battery boost, flat tire service, 2 gallons of fuel delivery, towing, or lockout assistance.

Peloton Credit And Bonus Points
Make a Peloton purchase of $150+ and earn 10 points per dollar spent through 3/31/25, up to 50K points.
Increased Points Value
If you or someone in your household has a Sapphire Reserve card you can redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points earned from any card at a value of 1.5 cents towards paid travel. That makes the 75K points worth at least $1,112.50 towards paid travel.
Pay Yourself Back
Chase Ultimate Rewards cards allow you to Pay Yourself Back for purchases in rotating categories.
Currently, you can pay yourself back for gas, wholesale clubs, pet supply stores and services, and your annual fee at a rate of 1.25 cents per point through 6/30. Those categories rotate by quarter.
A great feature of the program is that you keep the original points that the purchase earned, even though you paid yourself back for the purchase. That means your points will be worth more than 1.25 cents each!
Airline And Hotel Transferability
If you or someone in your household has a Chase Sapphire Reserve you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points into valuable airline and hotel mileage currencies.
Card Convertibility
You can call Chase to convert this card or any of the following cards into another card from this list:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card ($95 annual fee)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card ($550 annual fee)
- Chase Freedom Unlimited® Card ($0 annual fee)
- Chase Freedom Card ($0 annual fee)
- Chase Freedom Flex Mastercard ($0 annual fee)
Note that some reps will only allow card conversions after you have had the card for 12 months.
If you or someone in your household has a Sapphire Reserve, then your points will be worth at least 1.5 cents towards travel!
Priority Pass Membership
Priority Pass lounge membership allows you to bring 2 guests with you into over 1,300 airport lounges.
Secondary cardholders get their own Priority Pass membership and can bring in their own guests.
There are also many airports with restaurants that have $28 credit per person with Priority Pass membership. I’ve used that to get free granola bars, potato chips, and drinks to go! You can still use these for now, but the credits for non-lounge locations will end after 6/30.
Chase Sapphire Lounge Access
Chase Sapphire lounges are now open in Boston, Hong Kong, JFK, LaGuardia, Washginton DC/IAD. A Sapphire Terrace is also open in Austin.
Chase Sapphire lounges in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego, and more are coming soon.
Sapphire Reserve cardholders can access Sapphire lounges as often as they want via their Saphire Reserve Priority Pass card with 2 guests at no charge. Additional guests cost $27 each and children under 2 are at no charge. Additional cardholders, which cost $75/year, can also access the Chase Sapphire lounges as often as they want via their Priority Pass card with 2 guests at no charge and the same price for additional guests.
I have visited the LaGuardia lounge several times, and it’s excellent!
It has everything from a kids lounge:
To an awesome arcade room, equipped with a jukebox, pinball, shuffleboard, and photobooth for complimentary use:
Grab a latte (parve milk substitute options are available), beer, or cocktail from the bar:
Or enjoy a complimentary facial:

Killer Combos
Stacking multiple Ultimate Rewards cards together can supercharge your earnings by getting you more points per dollar while increasing the value of all your points.
Read more about this strategy in depth in this post.
A Chase Bifecta would consist of a household that has the Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve and the Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card. The total effective annual fees would be either $95 with Sapphire Preferred or $250 with Sapphire Reserve after accounting for that card’s $300 annual travel credit. With the Sapphire Preferred+Ink Unlimited you would earn 1.5 points per dollar everywhere, 2.1 points per dollar on all travel after the Sapphire Preferred annual bonus, 3 points per dollar on drugstores, 3.1 points per dollar on dining, streaming, and online grocery shopping after the Sapphire Preferred annual bonus, and 5.1 points per dollar on travel booked via Chase after the Sapphire Preferred annual bonus. You’ll be able to transfer all of your points into airline miles or hotel points.
A Chase Trifecta adds a no annual fee card like the Ink Business Cash® Credit Card or Chase Freedom Flex into the mix, so your total effective annual fee will still be $95 or $250. Both of those cards give options to earn a whopping 5 points per dollar in various categories on top of the 2-3 points per dollar that the Sapphire cards offer and the 1.5-5 points per dollar everywhere else with a Freedom Unlimited card.
A Chase Quadfecta would add both the Ink Cash and Chase Freedom Flex on top of a Sapphire card and an Unlimited card, so your total effective annual fee will still be just $95 or $250. The Quadfecta is the sweet spot and allows you to really supercharge your spending everywhere.
A Chase Quinfecta could add the Ink Preferred to that mix, adding $95 to the annual fee total. This make sense if you spend money on shipping, social media advertising, or search engine advertising, or if you want free cell phone insurance.
Again, all of these cards don’t need to be in one person’s name. 2 people from the same household can split up the requisite cards that make up the Quinfecta, as they can transfer the Ultimate Rewards points back and forth between themselves freely and they can add each other as an authorized user on their cards!
Airline Transfer Partners
You can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio to:
- United (Star Alliance)
- Air Canada Aeroplan (Star Alliance)
- Singapore (Star Alliance)
- Air France/KLM Flying Blue (Skyteam)
- British Airways (OneWorld)
- Aer Lingus (OneWorld)
- Iberia (OneWorld)
- Qatar (OneWorld, transfer via BA)
- Emirates
- JetBlue
- Southwest
- Virgin Atlantic
Hotel Transfer Partners
You can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio to:
- Hyatt
- IHG
- Marriott
- You can also transfer points to Hilton at a 1:1.5 ratio via Virgin Atlantic
The great thing about Chase Ultimate Rewards is how versatile and valuable they are
The Ink Preferred Card and Sapphire Preferred cards allow you and anyone in your household to transfer Chase points into miles. They also allow you to use points at a value of 1.25 cents each towards travel.
The Sapphire Reserve also allows you and anyone in your household to transfer Chase points into miles. Plus it allows you to use points at a value of 1.5 cents each towards travel.
The fixed value is excellent and doesn’t require hunting down award space, but those points can be much more valuable by transferring them into airline miles or hotel points.
- If I want to stay in a 5 star Park Hyatt in the Maldives, Melbourne, NYC, Paris, Sydney, or Tokyo that would cost over $1,000/night, I can instantly transfer 25-40K points to Hyatt to do that, a value of up to 6 cents per point.
- If I need a one-way flight from Cleveland (or Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Montreal, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Toronto, etc) to NYC that can cost $500 each way, I can instantly transfer 6K points to Qatar Avios via British Airways to book a short-haul on American with no last minute booking fees. That’s a value of up to 7 cents per point.
- Air Canada offers one-way short haul awards for just 6K miles. You can also get stopover awards for 5K miles, build round-the-world awards, and get free lap child awards in the US/Canada and bring lap children to anywhere else in the world for just C$25!
- If I want to stay in a non-chain hotel that costs $300/night and don’t want to pay cash, I can redeem 20K points for the room thanks to my Sapphire Reserve card’s minimum redemption value of 1.5 cents per point or 24K points with the Sapphire Preferred Card’s minimum redemption value of 1.25 cents per point
- If I want to fly in a $30,000 ANA First Class Suite round-trip from the US to Tokyo, I can instantly transfer 145K-170K points to Virgin Atlantic. That’s a value of up to 21 cents per point. You can now redeem one-way awards for half the price as well!
- If I want to book a $2,281 business class ticket on Air Canada to Tel Aviv I can redeem 152K points for the flight thanks to my Sapphire Reserve card’s minimum redemption value of 1.5 cents per point or 182K points with the Sapphire Preferred’s minimum redemption value of 1.25 cents per point, plus I’ll earn Qantas miles for more future travel as it’s considered a paid flight instead of an award flight.
- And thousands of other possibilities from Singapore couples suites to booking Southwest awards with 2 free bags and free cancellations, to stealing 2nd base in middle of an MLB game.

How does Chase measure 3 months? Is it 3 billing “cycles” ? 90 days? Also- when does the “clock start”? When you get approved or some other point?
Ty
With Chase it’s typically 103 days from approval. You can ask Chase for the exact deadline.
if I change my sapphire preferred to a freedom, then apply for reserve, what will happen to my points? Should I transfer them to my wife first to be safe?
Your points remain active. You can apply for the Preferred or Reserve card. You can transfer them from your Freedom back to Sapphire.
“Currently, you can pay yourself back for gas, wholesale clubs, pet supply stores and services, and your annual fee at a rate of 1.25 cents per point through 3/31. ”
