If you have been looking to get a Chase Sapphire Card, now may be a good time to pick one up due to an additional statement credit bonus for new card members. Get up to $300 in statement credit on Chase Travel℠ purchases within your first year and also earn 60,000 bonus points after $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of card membership. The offer that was previously running did not include any statement credit bonus.
When compared to previous offers such as the May 2023 offer of 80,000 points or the May 2024 offer of 75,000 points this new October 2024 offer is a good value. Hypothetically, if you were to convert $300 to points at a penny per point, you would end up with 30,000 + the 60,000 sign-up offer.
You may be able to get a higher point offer by applying in-person at a local Chase branch office in person. There is a 70,000 + $300 offer available in branch only, but the spending requirements are higher, $6,000 in 6 months.
