I've been collecting points and miles via credit cards for over two decades, and it takes a lot to impress me. Sure, I spread the love around with my 25+ open, active credit cards — but for one to earn a spot near the top of my wallet, I need a really solid value proposition.
For years, one of those cards has been the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees), which is currently offering 150,000 bonus points earned after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. This is the card's best-ever public offer.
Even after last year's overhaul with an increased annual fee, which sadly hit my account on Nov. 1, 2025, this card has been a key part of my rewards strategy for years — a fact reinforced by a recent trip to Atlanta to catch a Bruno Mars concert with my family.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
