Chase Sapphire Reserve 10 Year Anniversary: What's New

The Sapphire Reserve turns 10, and Chase is celebrating with more than a cake. Some of it is a real upgrade to a perk you might already use. Some of it is limited time offers worth a tap, and the clocks are close: most of the offers run out December 14. And one piece is a contest that's fun but a long shot, with entry closing November 6. Here's what each part actually gives you, starting with the DoorDash credit.

Dates at a glance

• November 6, 2026, 5:00 PM ET: contest entry closes.
• December 14, 2026: last day to pay Miraval & Alila, JSX, SIXT and Wander directly for their anniversary offers.
• December 31, 2026: the $250 Chase Travel hotel credit ends, and the three way hotel credit stack ends with it.

The DoorDash credit

If you order DoorDash, this one is for you. From October 1, 2026 through the end of 2029, the Reserve keeps complimentary DashPass, a $120 annual value, and adds up to $35 a month in credits on top.

That $35 splits into a new $15 monthly promo you can use on any qualifying DoorDash order, plus two $10 monthly promos for groceries and daily essentials.

The $15 is the piece worth noticing. The $15 replaces the old $5 monthly restaurant credit, so this is a real increase, not $15 on top of $5.

It all sits on top of what the card already does: 3x points on dining and up to $300 a year in Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credits. Easy to use, but not fully hands off. There's no new Chase Offer to activate each month, but you do need an eligible DashPass membership, and you still have to apply the promo to a qualifying order at checkout.

How Chase Offers work

The rest of the deals run through Chase Offers, and there's one step people skip.

Chase Offers are merchant deals that come back to you as a statement credit. You click "Add to card" to activate each one before you pay, then pay the merchant directly. The credit posts after a qualifying purchase.

The regular Chase Offers are personalized and they rotate, so your list won't match your neighbor's and any single one can drop off. The four anniversary offers below show up in the same place, so open your Chase Offers and see which ones are yours.

Four anniversary travel offers

For the anniversary, Chase loaded four travel offers into that same Chase Offers rail. They are money off spending, not free cash. The order of operations is the whole trick: activate the offer, then pay the partner directly on its own site by the date shown. Booking through Chase Travel doesn't count. Terms and eligibility requirements apply, and some cardmembers may see additional anniversary offers in their account.

• Miraval & Alila (World of Hyatt): spend $1,000 on a stay, get $250 back. Pay directly by December 14, 2026. US only.
• JSX (semi private flights): spend $200, get $200 back. Pay directly by December 14, 2026.
• SIXT (premium car rental): spend $500, get $125 back. Pay directly by December 14, 2026.
• Wander (vacation homes): spend $1,500, get $350 back. Pay directly by December 14, 2026.

Spending $1,500 to get $350 back only makes sense if you were already booking that stay.

Check your own Chase Offers to see which ones are yours. All four together come to up to $925 back on $3,200 of spend.

The $250 Chase Travel hotel credit

This one isn't part of the anniversary, but it folds neatly into the same trip. The Reserve gives a one time statement credit of up to $250 on a prepaid hotel stay booked and paid for in 2026 through Chase Travel, with a minimum of two nights in a row at the same property, good through December 31, 2026.

The stay has to be prepaid through the Chase Travel portal to count, and you won't earn points on the part the credit covers. Chase publishes the eligible brands: IHG, Montage, Pendry, Omni, Virgin Hotels, Minor Hotels, and Pan Pacific.

Keep this one separate from the anniversary hotel offers above. Different money, different rules.

Stacking the hotel credits

The Reserve carries more than one hotel credit, and they can pile up in a way that sounds too good until you read how it works. On a single prepaid Chase Travel stay of two nights or more, three separate credits can stack: the up to $250 per booking The Edit credit (up to $500 a year), then the up to $250 select hotel credit, then the $300 annual travel credit.

Two conditions apply. The stack only works at a property that qualifies for both The Edit by Chase Travel and the select brand list above. And the select hotel credit ends December 31, 2026, so the three way stack ends with it.

The catch is that all three only land in full when the reservation is big enough. Chase's own example is a $1,820 stay that nets $800 back, and you need a booking above $800 for all three to apply.

The four offers above don't join the party. They only pay out when you pay the partner directly, while these three credits require a prepaid Chase Travel booking. Different channel, so they don't apply to the same reservation.

The anniversary contest

Chase is also running a contest called "Celebrating 10 Rewarding Years with Chase Sapphire Reserve." Entry runs September 16 to November 6, 2026, and closes at 5:00 PM ET on the last day.

To enter, you need to be a Reserve primary cardholder in good standing as of September 15, 2026, be 18 or older, be a legal resident of the 50 states or D.C. (with a valid TIN or SSN), and have a public Instagram or TikTok. Employees of the sponsor and its contest vendors, and their families, are excluded, and the limit is one prize per person or household. You film an up to 90 second video about a favorite trip since 2016, no AI allowed, post it as a Reel or TikTok with #10RewardingYearswithSapphireReserve and #contest, then register at chase.com/SapphireReserveContest with the last 4 of your card and the video link. Full official rules, including eligibility, prizes, and how the winner is chosen, are at celebrating10yearsofsapphirereserve.chase.com/official-rules.

The prizes are huge, and so are the strings. Up to ten finalists each get 500,000 points plus a $1,500 check toward taxes. The grand winner is one of those ten, so they walk away with 5,000,000 points on top of the 500,000, which comes to 5.5 million points in all, plus a $15,000 check toward taxes.

Those 5,000,000 grand prize points aren't yours to spend however you like. They fund a trip booked through a Chase Travel Designer, and it's use it or lose it. If the trip costs less than 5,000,000 points, you don't get the difference back, not in points and not in cash. If it costs more, you cover the rest.

Here's how the winner is chosen. Judges pick up to ten finalists first. Then the grand winner is the one with the highest combined score, weighted 80% judges and 20% public vote. So the public vote matters, but it doesn't decide it on its own. The winner is announced January 12, 2027.

Before you film, know what you're signing up for. Your video is public, you're on camera, part of the final score is a public vote, and every entrant irrevocably assigns Chase the rights to their video, worldwide and in perpetuity, and agrees to the use of their name, city, state and likeness. Winners also have to clear a W-9 and a background check. No purchase necessary. Void in Puerto Rico and where prohibited.
