A significant advantage remains for holders of the Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cards: generous guest privileges. Unlike many competitors who are limiting or have already eliminated guest access, these cards continue to offer this valuable perk, providing a seamless travel experience for companions.
Recent visits to lounges in locations like LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and San Diego have consistently revealed a high standard of quality and comfort. Each lounge offered a truly outstanding experience, exceeding expectations for travelers seeking a relaxing escape from the airport bustle.
Cardholders can now unlock enhanced value through the new Points Boost redemption option available via Chase Travel. This feature allows for redemption rates of up to 2 cents per point on select flights and hotels, maximizing the potential of accumulated rewards.
The Edit, Chase’s collection of luxury hotels and resorts, presents a particularly compelling opportunity for Sapphire Reserve cardholders. Statement credits of up to $500 annually – currently split into two $250 increments, soon to be flexible – can be applied to prepaid stays of at least two nights.
Combining Points Boost with stays at The Edit properties creates a powerful synergy. Redeeming points alongside a cash payment allows cardholders to receive the 2 cents per point value *and* the statement credit for the cash portion, effectively doubling the benefit.
Beyond the financial advantages, bookings at The Edit properties unlock a suite of exclusive benefits. These include daily breakfast for two, up to a $100 on-property credit, complimentary Wi-Fi, and potential room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout.
A further enhancement allows travelers to earn points in their preferred hotel loyalty programs when booking through Chase, even when utilizing Points Boost. This dual-loyalty opportunity significantly increases the overall rewards earned on each stay.
This combination of benefits – guest privileges, Points Boost, The Edit credits, and loyalty program earning – represents a remarkable opportunity to maximize value for Sapphire Reserve cardholders. It’s a strategy designed to elevate the travel experience and reward smart spending.
