Today we’re announcing updates to the Chase Sapphire Preferred card with new earn categories and expanded travel credits and protections, with no change to the $95 annual fee.
New earn categories, credits and benefits
Earning power will be strengthened by the addition of 3x points on gas and EV charging, and 3x points on vacation homes at top brands like Airbnb and Vrbo.
Cardmembers will also receive a $100 Chase Travel Hotel Credit (doubled from the previous $50 credit), and a fee credit up to $120 toward Global Entry, TSA PreCheck or NEXUS every four years.
>Edit: If you have already received your $50 Chase Travel Hotel statement credit in this anniversary year, you will receive an additional $50 to use - starting 6/15. You will then receive a full $100 at the start of your next anniversary year.
Additionally, cardmembers will receive a complimentary Apple TV subscription for one year when activated by December 31, 2026.
Expanded travel protections
Helping cardmembers to travel with confidence, the card will be adding Emergency Evacuation and Transportation coverage. If a covered traveler is injured or becomes sick during a trip 100 miles or more from home that results in emergency evacuation, they can be covered for medical services and transportation up to $100,000.
What else is changing?
As previously shared, the 10% Anniversary Bonus is being discontinued effective immediately for cardmembers who apply on or after June 15, 2026. For cardmembers who applied prior to June 15, 2026, eligible purchases made through October 1, 2026 will continue to earn the 10% bonus. All eligible bonuses earned will be awarded by January 31, 2027.
