Chase Sapphire Reserve Business Credit Card Review
Key Takeaways
The Chase Sapphire Reserve Business carries a $795 annual fee, one of the highest on the market and the same as the Sapphire Reserve personal card. The 150,000-point bonus (after $20,000 in six months) and $300 annual travel credit can offset the fee in year one. Long-term value depends on how many of the credits you’ll use organically.
Why This Card Could Be Right For You
Outside of the 150,000 mile welcome offer, the biggest perk is the annual $300 travel credit that gets automatically applied to any travel purchase you make. This does not have to be in the Chase portal, so it will cancel out $300 worth of travel purchases made throughout the year. That credit effectively brings the annual fee down to $495.
There are plenty of other credits offered by the card to more than make up that amount, provided you use them organically. Below are the credits the Chase Sapphire Reserve Business offers:
- $300 annual travel credit (applied to any travel purchase)
- Two $250 credits per year for prepaid bookings with The Edit (a two night minimum stay is required each time to receive the twice per year credit). These credits can be used any time throughout the year, and you have to have two separate bookings to receive the $250 credit both times (it won't work on a single, 4 night booking)
- You can you book two, 2-night stays back to back at the same hotel, and you will receive both $250 credits in this scenario. If you book the exact same room type, you should not have to check out then back in on the third day
- There are also extra benefits that come with The Edit bookings: Free breakfast (at select properties), $100 property credit, room upgrade (if available), and early check-in/late check-out (if available)
- You should still receive breakfast on the second two nights of back to back bookings in the same hotel, but you will not receive the $100 property credit twice. You will receive both $250 credits provided you made two separate bookings
- $250 credit on prepaid bookings for use at select Chase Travel hotels on stays of at least two nights. This credit is only good after January 1, 2026 and for use in 2026. This was announced as a special and doesn't appear to be an ongoing credit as of now.
- Two $50 credits per year (one in January - June and one in July - December) on gift cards purchased on giftcards.com/reservebusiness
- $200 in annual statement credits on purchases made directly on Google Workspace
- Two $200 credits per year (one in January - June and one in July - December) on ZipRecruiter
- Complimentary DashPass Membership (worth $120 annually), two $10 monthly credits on non-restaurant orders, and one $5 monthly credit on restaurant orders
- One $10 credit on Lyft rides per month
- $120 credit every 4 years for Global Entry/TSA PreCheck
Below are additional benefits, perks, and spending multipliers:
- Priority Pass Select Membership: This is good for the cardholder and two guests
- Access to any Chase Sapphire Lounge by the Club for the cardholder and two guests
- A variety of purchase and travel protections, including primary auto rental coverage, roadside assistance, trip cancellation/interruption insurance, among others
- 8x points on travel booked through the Chase portal, 5x on Lyft rides, 4x on flights and hotels, 3x on social media and search engine advertising, and 1x everywhere else
If you spend more than $120,000 on the card in a calendar year, you unlock the following benefits:
- World of Hyatt Explorist Status
- IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite Status
- $500 credit for The Shops at Chase
- $500 Southwest Airlines Chase Travel credit
- Southwest Airlines A-List status
When The Usual Advice Doesn't Apply
- The coupon book style of credits is too much work
- The type of credits don’t fit with your small business spending and won’t make up for the high annual fee
- You already some of the perks like Global Entry and Priority Pass from other credit card benefits
What to Know About Chase Ultimate Rewards
Chase Ultimate Rewards is our most valued point system.

- Or you can book travel directly through the Chase portal, including cruise, car rental, or specialty hotels.
- The quality of their transfer partners (Hyatt, United & Southwest) is unmatched. As is the value you can get when you transfer.
- You can get a “multiplier effect” on your Chase Ultimate Rewards points when you have either of Chase’s Sapphire cards by taking advantage of Points Boost.

How The Chase Sapphire Reserve Business Credit Card Fits In The Chase Ultimate Rewards Ecosystem
The Chase Sapphire Reserve Business is Chase’s premium business card, competing with options like the American Express Platinum Business and Capital One Venture X Business. It’s designed for those who want a full suite of travel perks and are willing to pay a higher annual fee to get them.
Chase also offers several Ink business cards that focus more on earning rewards with lower or no annual fees:
- Chase Ink Business Preferred: The closest alternative, with a $95 annual fee, a 100,000-point bonus after $8,000, and access to Chase’s transfer partners.
- Chase Ink Business Cash: No annual fee card with strong category bonuses and a 75,000-point bonus on a lower spending requirement.
- Chase Ink Business Unlimited: Also no annual fee, earning a flat rate on all purchases with a 75,000-point bonus and simple structure.
You’ll need a Chase Sapphire Reserve Business, Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, or Ink Business Preferred to transfer points from the Ink Cash or Ink Unlimited to Chase’s travel partners.
