Chase is known for its popular cards earning Ultimate Rewards points, including the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (learn more), Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card (learn more), and Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (learn more).
One of the things that makes these cards so awesome is the bonus categories that they offer for spending. There’s sometimes confusion about what’s included with these bonus categories, so in this post, I want to break that down. Which bonus categories do these cards offer, and how is each of those categories defined? Note that the Sapphire Preferred picked up two new bonus categories as part of its June 2026 refresh — gas stations and EV charging, plus vacation rentals — and this guide reflects the updated lineup.
