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.
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...
"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, 2026:"
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 canceled, the calculus may have been different for me (especially with the World of Hyatt devaluation on CSP).
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.
