What happened
Chase has added a complimentary one-year Apple TV subscription as a perk for Chase Sapphire Preferred Card holders. The benefit is available through December 31, 2026. To activate, cardholders must log in to their Chase account, navigate to the 'Benefits' section for the Sapphire Preferred, locate the Apple TV offer, and select 'Activate Now.' This links the card to an Apple ID. The subscription is direct access rather than a statement credit. If the cardholder already pays for Apple TV, the Chase benefit pauses their existing paid subscription, which resumes automatically after the free year ends. The benefit is valued at approximately $100–$156 depending on whether the user would otherwise pay monthly ($12.99/mo) or annually ($99.99/yr), effectively offsetting the card's $95 annual fee
