Summary

Chase just launched a new business credit card and rolled out changes to the Chase Sapphire Reserve—but are these updates actually worth getting excited about?

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Kelly from The Points and Miles Doc for a candid review of what’s new in the Chase ecosystem. From rising annual fees to underwhelming credits and a business card that looks a lot like what already exists, we’re breaking down the updates—and what they really mean for your wallet.

We also talk about how these cards stack up against competitors like Amex and Capital One, when the new benefits might be worth it, and why we’re not jumping to add either of these to our travel strategy just yet. If you're holding the Chase Sapphire Reserve or considering a new business card, this episode will help you make a more informed decision.

0:00.0	Welcome to Point Me to First Class, the only show for employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners who are looking to optimize their higher than average expenses to travel the world.
0:10.7	I'm your host, Devin Gimble, and I believe that your expenses are your greatest untapped asset, if you know how to leverage them.
0:17.8	Ready to dive into the world of credit card points and miles so you can travel more, travel better, and travel often. Let's get started.
0:29.8	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're taking a bit of a detour from what I had
0:35.8	originally planned to talk about for this week on the podcast.
0:39.3	And that's because Chase has just dropped some big news that I want to dive into more of
0:44.2	for those of you wondering how these changes might affect you.
0:47.6	Last week, podcast guest Kelly and I shared some thoughts and predictions around rumors
0:52.8	of an upcoming new Chase business card product,
0:56.1	as well as potentially significant changes to their premium rewards credit card on the personal
1:00.9	side, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. And now we know more about what those are actually going to
1:06.6	look like, and we have some strong opinions about them. I thought this would be a great opportunity
1:11.7	to follow up on last week's conversation. So I begged Kelly to come back on the show so that we can
1:16.5	dissect exactly what we know about the new Chase Sapphire Reserve business credit card and the
1:22.3	changes being made to the Chase Sapphire Reserve personal card. Our thoughts about what these changes
1:27.0	mean for you and us
1:28.7	as Chase consumers, whether we think they hit the nail on the head or completely miss the mark
1:33.6	with these updates and what are their options you have for points earning cards if you are not

1:43.7	unfiltered opinions about the
1:45.1	Chase Sapphire Reserve updates. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Kelly, let's start with the
