Update 10/28/20: Chase has also added a Peloton benefit.
Update 10/20/20: Chase has temporarily increased the earning rates.
[Update 10/12/20: Looks like this rumor never materialized.]
Someone on Reddit heard from a Chase rep that there’s some new benefit/news/refresh coming for the Sapphire Reserve card on October 5th. Thought it was worth a quick headsup for someone thinking of which card to get or thinking of cancelling or the like. (Most likely there’ll be some update for the Sapphire Preferred at the same time – my speculation.)
Assuming there is something coming, my guess is one of these three possibilities (I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s all 3):
- Revamped rewards structure to make it competitive with the newly enhanced Freedom Flex and Freedom Unlimited cards. E.g. there might be 5x on Ultimate Rewards travel bookings or 3x Drugstores.
- Temporary new categories. We saw the 5x gas and 10x streaming expire on September 30, so they might come out with some temporary categories like that.
- New partnership, similar to the Instacart partnership for free/discounted membership.
