Chase has dropped the biggest credit card news of the year with a complete makeover of the Chase Sapphire Reserve, increasing the annual fee from $550 to $795 while adding extensive new benefits and launching their first-ever Sapphire Reserve Business card. We break down the new benefits structure, help existing cardholders decide between old and new versions, and discuss the new Points Boost redemption system replacing the traditional Chase Travel portal. Plus, we cover a valuable 65% transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy, rumors of Delta's ultra-premium card with American Express, and current award travel opportunities including United's premium economy deals to Italy. Essential listening for anyone holding premium credit cards or considering the evolving landscape of high-fee, high-benefit travel cards.
