This week was all about the battle of the premium credit card refreshes. First up was the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, which in exchange for an increased annual fee, will now include new statement credits, hotel status and perks, as well as a new feature called Points Boost that replaces the current 50% points bonus when redeeming Ultimate Rewards points though Chase Travel℠.
Stay tuned for more details Monday. And if you’re an existing cardholder, here’s why you shouldn’t cancel or downgrade your Sapphire Reserve right now.
Not to be outdone, American Express announced it will be making “major changes” to its beloved The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express.
If you have an Amex Platinum, then here’s your final reminder that your $50 Saks credit expires June 30, so here are 12 items to buy now.
