If you’ve had a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card for about a year, you might find a little surprise in your email soon. On June 23, Chase sent out targeted emails to some cardholders, including me, that announced their new Point Boost program for Chase Travel. The subject line hinted at what was in store, and it’s pretty exciting, especially since it comes alongside the usual $50 annual hotel credit you get.
So, who gets this offer? Well, it seems to be aimed at Sapphire card members who signed up within the last year. If that’s you, take a quick peek at your inbox. There’s enough time to use the offer, as the $50 credits can be used for Chase travel bookings made through June 23, 2026.
Who received the offer?
The offer is likely tailored for those who opened a Sapphire card in the last twelve months. If you think you fit that bill, it’s worth checking your email. If you do get this offer, you’ll have ample time to make use of it. According to the fine print, you can redeem $50 credits for Chase trips booked between now and June 23, 2026.
How it works
In order to claim your credit, you need to book an eligible trip via the Chase Travel Portal, which covers flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacation packages. There aren’t any tricky restrictions on travel types. You’ll automatically get up to $50 refunded as long as your booking is through the Chase Travel Portal.
This offer is pretty versatile. Unlike some travel credits that are limited to specific things like hotel stays or require strategic planning, this can be used for a range of Chase travel options, including more affordable domestic flights and car rentals.
How does this differ from a $50 per year hotel credit?
Cardholders might be familiar with the $50 hotel credit that comes with the Sapphire card, which is valid each year for prepaid hotel bookings. The key difference is that this standard hotel credit recurs annually but is limited to hotels exclusively. This new $50 credit, on the other hand, is a one-time benefit for new cardholders and can be utilized for a variety of Chase travel bookings.
- $50 Hotel Credit: Valid every year, but only for prepaid hotel reservations.
- New $50 Travel Credit: Available to those who opened their card within the last year, it can be used once for any kind of travel booking.
If you qualify for both, you could potentially combine them, giving you up to $100 in travel savings this year.
Conclusion
This offer is pretty appealing these days, especially since it’s useful for a variety of bookings through Chase Travel. You might not see it listed prominently on the card’s official pages, so keep an eye on your inbox if you signed up in the past year. If you get this offer, make sure to book your travel by June 23, 2026, to take full advantage of the $50 credit.
