The Chase Sapphire Reserve's StubHub credit is a standout benefit that offers cardholders up to $300 per year in statement credits.
The credit is split into two biannual credits of up to $150 each, available for purchases made through StubHub or its sister site, Viagogo. To activate the credit, cardholders must log into their Chase account, navigate to the benefits hub, and enroll in the StubHub credit program.
Eligible purchases can be made directly through StubHub or Viagogo, including tickets to concerts, sports events, and theater productions. The credit will automatically post within a day of the transaction, although Chase states that it may take 1-2 billing cycles.
Some important exclusions to note are gift card purchases with StubHub or Viagogo, which are not eligible for the credit. The benefit will end on December 31, 2027.
Many TPG staff members have successfully used the StubHub credit to purchase tickets to various events, including Broadway shows, concerts, and sports events.
For example, Summer Hull scored tickets to "Hamilton" and paid $108 out of pocket with the help of the StubHub credit. Lyndsey Matthews used the credit to purchase tickets to see "Paddington: The Musical" in New York City, and Eric Rosen paid $60 out of pocket to see "Oh, Mary!" on Broadway.
Other staff members have used the credit to purchase tickets to concerts and music festivals, including the World Pride Music Festival in Amsterdam and a Zach Bryan concert.
Some tips for using the StubHub credit include buying "instant download" tickets, selecting "include all fees" when navigating the StubHub website or app, and clicking through a shopping portal like Rakuten before making a purchase.
It's also essential to use the credit within each six-month window, as any unused portion will not roll over. By planning ahead and setting reminders for June and December, cardholders can maximize the value of the StubHub credit.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve offers a range of valuable benefits, including travel protections, flexible Ultimate Rewards points, and annual statement credits. While the StubHub credit is just one part of the card's offerings, it can provide significant value for the right cardholder.
