The larger bonus on the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card has ended and the card is now back to its business-as-usual bonus.
Here’s what you need to know about the current Sapphire Reserve welcome bonus.
Chase Sapphire Reserve® welcome offer
Welcome offer: Earn 125,000 points after you spend $6,000 in purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
This bonus is earned as Chase Ultimate Rewards® points.
Annual fee: $795 annual fee; $195 for each authorized user
Our quick take: Reasonable bonus for the size of the annual fee

125,000 points is a decent amount of points, especially with what is arguably the most easy-to-use transferable points currency. But now that Chase has raised the annual fee on this card to be in-line with the Amex Platinum, the amount of points offered doesn’t get me terribly excited.
The Platinum Card was offering up to 175,000 points for new cardmembers as of the last update, albeit with a larger amount of spending.
In every case, this isn’t a card that you’re getting solely for the bonus, so you’re probably not making a buying decision on that. And the card is unlikely to match its larger (re-)launch bonus any time soon.
