Chase recently brought back higher welcome offers on its most popular travel credit cards, but now those offers are set to end tomorrow, June 13, at 9 a.m. EST.

Its been well over a year since Chase has brought bigger-than-normal welcome bonuses to the table:

  • Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card: Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
  • Chase Sapphire Reserve®: Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months.

The opportunity to earn 75,000 Ultimate Rewards points gives travelers a chance to save hundreds — if not thousands — of dollars on flights, hotels, activities, and more. We’ll go over the details of these new welcome bonus offers and benefits to see if either card is a good fit to kick off your summer travels.

Increased Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and Chase Sapphire Reserve Card Welcome Offers

Based on our most recent valuations of points and miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth 2 cents apiece. Here’s a look at each welcome offer compared to our bonus value:

Because of this unique ability, this 75,000-point welcome offer is worth more like $1,500 to us.

Can You Get Another Welcome Offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve Card?

It’s important to get comfortable with Chase’s specific rules before applying. For starters, you can only have 1 Chase Sapphire card at a time.

Furthermore, both the Chase Sapphire Reserve card and Chase Sapphire Preferred card are subject to the issuer’s 48-month welcome offer rule. You cannot earn another welcome bonus (from either the Chase Sapphire Reserve card or Chase Sapphire Preferred card) within 48 months.

Finally, it’s unlikely you’ll be approved for either card if you’ve opened 5 or more cards — from any issuer — within the previous 24 months. This unofficial guideline is known as Chase’s 5/24 rule.

Hot Tip:

Has it been more than 48 months since you last received a welcome bonus on either the Chase Sapphire Reserve card or Chase Sapphire Preferred card? You’re in luck. To be eligible for the welcome offer again, you would need to downgrade your card (for example, to a Chase Freedom Unlimited®) and then reapply for the card.

Final Thoughts

These new welcome offers aren’t the best we’ve ever seen, but Chase seems to offer elevated bonuses much less often nowadays. Getting a head start with the 75,000-point welcome bonus offer can be a great way to earn a healthy stash of points for travel this year. Now is the time to consider either card since both offers are set tomorrow, June 13, at 9 a.m. EST.
