In July 2026, Chase announced that the Sapphire Reserve’s $300 dining credit program would be expanded, adding 91 new restaurants and removing 64 existing ones. A month later, Chase detailed a broader set of changes to the premium card: the $795 annual‑fee card continues to offer a $300 travel credit, a $300 dining credit (now limited to participating OpenTable venues), and various merchant credits, but the 1.5‑cent‑per‑point redemption rate through Chase Travel℠ was eliminated and the 3× travel‑category earn rate was narrowed to 4× on flights and hotels only. The card’s travel protections, lounge access, and 1:1 points transfer to Hyatt remain unchanged, while the overall annual value of the credits stays around $960 when fully utilized.
