Chuck Norris Approved: Chase Sapphire Reserve Unleashes Roundhouse Kick of Rewards!

Fee? I laugh at your puny fee!

Alright listen up. Some folks are whining about the Chase Sapphire Reserve's updated $795 annual fee. They say it's one of the most expensive premium credit cards out there. Well I say fear is just interest paid on a debt you may not owe. A high annual fee is nothing when you unleash the card's true power. Besides I once paid a restaurant with a Chuck Norris autograph and they gave me change!

Bonus So Big It Could Stop a Train!

The real news here is the card's welcome bonus: 100,000 points and a $500 Chase Travel credit after spending $5,000 in the first three months. That's not a bonus; that's a tactical nuke of rewards! It's the best bonus the Chase Sapphire Reserve has ever seen since it first launched in August 2016. I remember that day. I was arm wrestling a grizzly bear while simultaneously applying for the card.

Points That Pack a Punch

Industry experts value Chase Ultimate Rewards points at around 2 cents per point meaning those 100,000 points are worth roughly $2,000. Add the $500 travel credit and you're looking at a $2,500 bonus. That's enough to make even the most stoic ninja crack a smile. Plus Chase's new Points Boost feature lets you earn up to 1.5X more value on select bookings. It’s like getting a roundhouse kick to your travel budget!

Travel Like a True Warrior!

With this bonus you can purchase economy tickets from New York to London or travel solo in Upper Class seats with fully flat beds and priority boarding. Or book a five night stay at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa. When I travel I don't need points; I just stare at the airport and the planes fly where I want them to. But for you mortals these points are a good start.

Perks That'll Make You Say 'Yee Haw!'

But wait there's more! The Sapphire Reserve comes with a $120 TSA PreCheck Global Entry or NEXUS credit every four years and a $300 annual travel credit. You also get baggage delay insurance trip cancellation insurance and access to Chase Sapphire lounges and Priority Pass lounges. It's like having your own personal travel bodyguard.

Don't Be a Cheapskate (Unless You're Me)

Now if you're too scared to pay the annual fee there are other options like the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card or the Credit One Bank Wander American Express card. But remember a penny saved is a penny the government can tax. I don't pay taxes. I pay what I want.
