We’ve been dripping out leaked news of the upcoming Chase Sapphire Reserve changes, and today it was all confirmed, along with some additional details. We’ll start this post with the basic timeline, and we’ll continue in the coming hours with the full details.
- The new card details are showing live at this Chase link
- The new ‘improved’ Chase Sapphire Reserve card will go live on June 23, 2025.
- Card will have a $795 annual fee. Extra $195 annual fee for each additional cardholder.
- All of the new benefits and points earnings rates, etc, will be in effect for new card applications on June 23rd and beyond.
- Existing cardholders will get charged the lower $550 annual fee if their renewal takes place by October 25, 2025 or prior. Card renewals on October 26th and beyond will get the $795 annual fee.
Existing Cardholders:
- Important news: Existing cardholders will not get the new card benefits and points rates until October 26, 2025. Until then you’ll earn points and get card benefits like you did before all the changes with basically no changes at all. For example, you’ll keep the 3x travel rate through October 25th and you won’t yet get any credits for Stubhub, The Edit, etc.
- On October 26, 2025 everyone will have all of the new card benefits, both the positive (new credits, etc) and the negative (e.g. no 3x earning on Travel, etc).
- Card renewals before October 27, 2025 will get charged the lower $550 annual fee.
- Your first card renewal after October 26, 2025 will get the $795 annual fee charge.
