The Offer
Chase is sending out an email with details of the new Points Boost information on the Sapphire Preferred card and on the INK Preferred card which takes away the flat 1.25% redemption option for a variable option, effective in October 2025.
They also note a special offer for new Sapphire Preferred cardholders who were approved within the past year-or-so:
- Get a one-time $50 credit toward Chase Travel booking. That’s on top of the regular $50 annual hotel credit benefit. To redeem, just book your itinerary through Chase Travel by June 23, 2026.
- Some INK Preferred cardholders are getting the $50 credit email as well.
Our Verdict
Nice bonus $50 credit. I believe this $50 shows up as a credit in Chase Travel (?) while the $50 hotel credit comes as a statement credit. You should be able to use up both on $100 hotel booking.
Seems like they are trying to soften the blow of the new Points Boost which most of us consider a downgrade. For some reason they’re only offering the credit to new-ish cardholders.
P2 did not get the email for a CSP opened in April.
Got the additional $50 portal credit on P2 CSP that was opened last month for 100k sub.
Did not get the credit on CIP opened July 2024.
In the exact same situation
I received the email about the $50 credit before I read the comments in this post so I thought it would be a statement credit instead of a credit at checkout. I immediately booked a hotel through Chase Travel but didn’t get the credit in the booking
Ha! I did the same. Then just cancelled. The $50 promo credit is not useful to me at all, though who knows, we have until June 2026 to use it.
Approved for CSP June 8 this year and not seeing the email or the $50 travel credit.
I received this for my CSP and CIP, both received in the past year. I tried a dummy booking through personal chase on airfare and tried to pay with CSP and it wasn’t taken off at checkout.
Did this logged into CIP chase business and the promo showed up at check out
I believe the original CSP $50 hotel credit remains a statement credit, i.e., you get a $50 credit on your statement once the charge posts.
This new, one-time Chase Travel credit shows up as a promotion at checkout, giving you the option to add it if you pay for the booking with a card.
Therefore, it seems these two should stack, assuming you still haven’t used the original credit. However, you can’t do the book/cancel route and get $100 back. Which sucks.
Can confirm the extra $50 credit is taken off at check out (as opposed to a statement credit)
For CSP or CIP
Paul ?
CSP for me
Thanks. I see it at checkout, but can’t really tell which card it’s for. I assume the CSP since that’s the one I got the email on.
its just BS offer.
I got the $50 in the email for CIP but not CSP. I’m wondering if they will only send it for one if you hold both
