Don't miss your chance! by Sean Cudahy, Senior writer Happy Friday! I wanted to share some intel we just got from our contacts at Chase. The end is near for this incredible limited-time welcome offer on the newly refreshed Chase Sapphire Reserve®: 100,000 bonus points and a $500 Chase Travel℠ credit for new cardholders who spend $5,000 within three months from account opening. That bonus alone is worth more than $2,500, per our August 2025 valuations, and is a whopping 40,000 points and a whole $500 travel credit more than this card was offering before its refresh. That haul of points could get you to Europe in a lie-flat United Airlines Polaris seat, or up to four nights at the stunning (I can attest!) and brand-new Park Hyatt London River Thames when you leverage Chase's incredible lineup of transfer partners. Plus, it packs over $2,700 in annual value with excellent credits, including credits for Apple Music, Apple TV+, DoorDash and StubHub. And that's without counting the generous access you and two guests get to the beautiful portfolio of Chase Sapphire Lounges at airports, or the value you can get out of earning Chase Ultimate Rewards points at powerhouse rates like 8 points per dollar spent on Chase Travel purchases and 4 points per dollar spent on flights and hotels booked directly. With your ability to get 100,000 highly valuable points plus a $500 travel credit ending soon, we'd hate for you to miss out. Get this offer before it's too late! Ending soon!
