The Chase Sapphire Reserve® (learn more) is celebrating its 10th anniversary (goodness, how time flies!). In recognition of that, Chase is rolling out some offers that could save cardmembers a lot of money with some popular travel brands, and is also increasing the amount of the DoorDash credits that cardmembers get.

Chase Sapphire Reserve offers limited time travel savings
Chase has just announced how Sapphire Reserve cardmembers can save money with a variety of travel brands, thanks to some limited time promotions available through the Chase Offers program. Unless noted otherwise, these offers are valid for those who are cardmembers as of September 16, 2026.
First of all, cardmembers who activate and complete payment by October 16, 2026, can earn $125 back when they spend $500 or more on an eligible stay at IHG Hotels & Resorts (U.S. only). On top of that, cardmembers who activate and complete payment by December 14, 2026, can earn:
- $250 back when they spend $1,000 on a stay at Miraval and Alila properties that are part of the World of Hyatt (U.S. only)
- $200 back when they spend $200 on a semi-private flight with JSX
- $125 back when they spend $500 on a premium car rental with Sixt (for eligible cardmembers as of August 25, 2026)
- $350 back when they spend $1,500 on a vacation home with Wander
In all cases, the offers apply when cardmembers book or pay directly with the partner, and not through the Chase Travel portal.
Admittedly this is niche, but if you’re planning purchases with any of these travel brands, this is great. For example, I’ve been meaning to book a flight with JSX to review it, so if I can save $200, that’s something I’ll gladly take advantage of!
Chase Sapphire Reserve increases DoorDash credit
Beyond the limited time travel savings, the Chase Sapphire Reserve’s DoorDash credit will be improving in terms of value and flexibility. This begins on October 1, 2026, and is valid through December 31, 2029:
- The current $5 monthly DoorDash restaurant credit will increase to a $15 monthly credit that can be used on all eligible DoorDash orders; the existing two $10 monthly non-restaurant credits will remain unchanged
- Sapphire Reserve DashPass members will now receive up to $35 in DoorDash value each month
I’d consider this to be pretty great, and this will get me an extra $120 in value per year. I always use the DoorDash restaurant credits, so getting an extra $10 in credits each month without hoops to jump through is awesome. Meanwhile I’ve never really been able to get value with the non-restaurant credits.
Bottom line
The Chase Sapphire Reserve is celebrating its 10th anniversary. In recognition of that, cardmembers can activate some limited time offers to save on travel purchases, with brands like IHG, Alila, Miraval, JSX, Sixt, and more. On top of that, the DoorDash credit offered by the card will be increased, with the monthly restaurant credit going from $5 to $15.
These are all great developments, so if this matches your spending patterns, be sure to take advantage of the savings!
Will you benefit from these Chase Sapphire Reserve savings opportunities?
Looks like CSR found the limit of how much they can squeeze their customers. They must have lost a big chunk of users after their last set of "improvements".
Hopefully AmEx hits the same point. I think their personal platinum has reasonable value if you can take advantage of all their new credits, but the business platinum has lost a lot of value over time and I'm cancelling this year before my annual fee.
I find best way to get value out of the $10 dollar grocery credit is to double dash after placing whatever order you would using your $5 credit. In most major US cities any order tends to be above $20 for the food, which after ordering you can then tack on some groceries from say a target for anywhere around $10 and get the full value of the credit while avoiding the $20 minimum or extra delivery fees.

Is this a typo? 3 months of improved DD credit doesn't seem all that valuable.
I downgraded my CSR earlier this year, mainly because the Edit credits are such a PITA to me. If the DD credit was $15/month long-term when...

I downgraded my CSR earlier this year, mainly because the Edit credits are such a PITA to me. If the DD credit was $15/month long-term when I canceled, the calculus may have been different for me (especially with the World of Hyatt devaluation on CSP).
I noticed the same thing. Seems like an additional $30.
The Edit is the biggest sham out there. Save $250 on 12 properties that each cost $1000/night and are always several hundred dollars more than booking direct and you have to go 2 nights is laughable. Add that to the dining credits where there's only 30-ish places that participate in all of Manhattan.
@ Samar -- Sorry, that should've said 2029, not 2026. Updated now. :-)
Thank you for mentioning these offers, Ben. Chase hasn't really sent anything specific out about any of this (that I've seen). So, it's good I frequent your blog, because otherwise, I might have missed it. If you can quadruple-stack $300 travel credit, $250 The Edit, $250 IHG, and this $125 back, that'd be wild. Ok, even if it's just a few of those, still pretty good. Lots of 'coupons' to use...
Easiest to take advantage of non-restaurant credits: order ice cream / gelato / sorbet for dessert. There's usually a DashMart or some other cheap ice cream type place, and you can order these as dessert to complement your doordash meal.
