Update 8/17/20: From what I’ve been able to gather it looks like this credit went into affect for purchases starting July 1st, but you need to get Chase to manually apply the credit. It’s not clear if at some stage this will be automated or not.
Earlier this year Chase announced a number of temporary benefits for the Chase Sapphire Reserve/Preferred cards. One of these benefits is that the $300 travel credit would be usable on grocery store and gas station purchases. Several readers wondered if something similar would be offered to Chase Ritz-Carlton cardholders (this card is no longer available for new sign ups).
Reddit user CAPTAlNPLANET called the retention department and was told that soon this credit will be good towards Restaurants & Grocery store purchases. It’s interesting that the categories are slightly different to the Chase Sapphire Reserve (restaurants instead of gas stations) but I suspect most people will be able to max this out easily on grocery store purchases anyway. Letters should be going out to cardholders next week to inform them of this change, that will provide some more useful information including eligible dates.
