## Summary

The Chase Sapphire Reserve has rolled out its best-ever welcome bonus: 150,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. This offer is valued at approximately $3,075 in travel based on May 2026 TPG valuations. For existing Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders, eligibility for this new bonus is likely provided they have never held the Sapphire Reserve or earned its bonus previously. Key eligibility requirements include:
- Must not currently have an open Sapphire Reserve card.
- Must be under Chase's 5/24 rule (fewer than 5 new cards from any issuer in the past 24 months).
- Must have adequate credit history (recommended score of at least 740).
- Previous holders who did not earn the bonus may still be ineligible for the current offer. The card also features a $300 annual travel credit and up to $300 in annual statement credits for StubHub purchases through December 31, 2027
