Complete Chase Sapphire Reserve Benefits

The benefits page for the Chase Sapphire Reserve is now live (still waiting on an application link). Being a premium travel credit card, this card comes with a lot of different benefits. Some of these benefits are quite substantial and detailed and because of this we’ve given a round down on those in more detail on separate pages. We will provide an overview of all the benefits, as well as links to any additional relevant information.

$300 Annual Travel Credit

Every year (based on calendar year statement cycles) you will automatically receive up to $300 in statement credits as reimbursements for travel-related purchases. What they consider travel is quite broad, we’ve written more on this benefit here.

Complimentary Airport Lounge Access

You and your authorized users get a free Priority Pass Select membership. This gives you free access to 900+ lounges in the priority pass network. It’s unclear if you’re allowed to bring in any guests or not. We will have more about this benefit shortly.

Points Are Worth 50% More In Travel Rewards

It’s possible to redeem your points for 1¢ each towards statement credit. With this card points are worth an additional 50% (1.5¢ per point) when you redeem them for travel (airfare, hotels, car rentals or cruises) through Chase Ultimate Rewards.

Global Entry or TSA Pre✔ Fee Credit

You can receive a statement credit of up to $100 when you use your card for the application fee on Global Entry or TSA PreCheck. You’re able to receive this statement credit once every 4 years.
