Whoa! 

I'll keep this short because this news does the talking:

🚨 The Chase Sapphire Reserve® just unleashed a new welcome offer:

Earn 150,000 bonus points after you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

That's the highest public welcome offer this card has ever had. Ever. We said the same thing a few months ago, and then Chase just... did this.

And that's before the card does anything else for you.

Quick refresher on what makes this stellar card worth talking about: 

1. ✅ $300 annual travel credit (automatic, applies to almost anything - just note you won’t earn points on purchases covered by this credit)

2. ✅ 8x points on all Chase Travel purchases

3. ✅ 4x points on flights and hotels booked directly

4. ✅ 3x points on dining worldwide

5. ✅ Priority Pass + Chase Sapphire Lounge access (with guests)

6. ✅ Best-in-class travel protections

If you haven't looked at the benefit stack lately, the 2025 refresh added a lot of new credits on top of the classics: 

• 💼 $500 annual hotel credit for stays with The Edit℠ by Chase Travel

• 🍽️ Up to $300 annual dining credit at Sapphire Exclusive Tables restaurants

• 🎟️ $300 annual StubHub / viagogo credit for concerts and events (through 12/31/27)

• 🍎 $288 complimentary Apple TV+ and Apple Music subscriptions (through 6/22/2027)

• 🚘 $120 annual Lyft credit + 5x points on eligible rides (through 9/30/2027)

• 🥗 $300 in annual DoorDash perks + complimentary DashPass (through 12/31/2027)

• 💪 $120 annual Peloton credit + 10x points on eligible equipment (through 12/31/2027)

• 🏨 Complimentary IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status (through 12/31/2027)

• ✈️ Points Boost: up to 2¢ per point on select premium bookings through Chase Travel℠

Honest fee math: the $795 annual fee is real, and the credits only count if they're replacing spending you were already doing. But if even a few of them apply to your life, dining out, events, a hotel stay or two, the card more than covers itself before you've touched the welcome offer.

I recently interviewed three Daily Drop team members on their very different approaches to this card. (They all came out on top.)
