🚨 Breaking news: A huge six-figure limited-time offer has launched

May 2, 2026

150,000 bonus points

by Brian Kelly

Chase just dropped the biggest Chase Sapphire Reserve® bonus we’ve ever seen!

I had the exclusive on the launch of this card back in 2016, and the welcome offer has never been this high. You can earn a best-ever 150,000-point bonus after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

That’s worth a staggering $3,075 in travel based on TPG’s April 2026 valuations and 25,000 more points than the previous offer.

How I use my valuable Chase points

The sheer number of lucrative hotel and airline transfer partners means your travel possibilities are endless. It’s no secret that I love Chase Ultimate Rewards points and regularly use them to book hotel stays through Points Boost in Chase Travel℠ (some even up to 2.5 cents per point!).

Here’s how I would use 150,000 bonus points:

Fly business class to Europe from about 60,000 points transferred to Air France-KLM Flying Blue (plus taxes and fees)
Book multiple nights at a Hyatt resort starting at 35,000 points per night off-peak (I snagged Park Hyatt Milan for 40k points per night during the Olympics!)
Or get over $3,000 in select flights and hotels when booking through Chase Travel℠ using Points Boost

Now, I know some of you might say $795 for an annual fee is high. And I hear you, but let’s look at the value and break it down.

The perks and benefits

You’ll get access to over $2,000 in available statement credits each year that are super valuable and very easy to use:

$300 annual travel credit
$500 in annual hotel credits for Chase’s The Edit (two up to $250 statement credits on prepaid bookings of at least two nights)
$300 in annual dining credits ($150 biannually)
$300 in annual StubHub or Viagogo credits ($150 biannually) — I used mine to get Celine Dion tickets in Paris.

Now, when you factor in the bonus points value, Sapphire Lounge access and all the other available credits, you’re coming out way ahead in value.

Bottom line

This new limited-time 150,000-point offer is a no-brainer if you are in the market for a premium travel card that’s loaded with perks and benefits. Don’t miss out!

Have a great weekend,

BK
