Chase Sapphire Reserve Hikes Fees, Dangles Carrots: Because Your Wallet Isn't Bleeding Enough
By Rex 'The Wrecker' Malone, Published 4 days ago
In a move as shocking as a hobo winning the lottery, Chase has decided your pockets are too full. They've ramped up the annual fee on their Sapphire Reserve card, but don't worry, they've tossed in some shiny trinkets to keep you on the hook. It's like when your local dive bar raises the price of a pint but throws in a stale pretzel to sweeten the deal.
Sure, now you can earn 10 points per dollar on your Lyft rides, but only until March 2025. Because nothing says long-term customer loyalty like a temporary benefit. And let's not forget the oh-so-generous statement credits: a measly $300 for hotels or Airbnb, because apparently, Chase thinks you're too cheap for a five-star suite but too fancy for a hostel.
So, while your annual fee has ballooned to $550, remember, you're not just paying more; you're paying for the privilege of feeling like your money matters less. In the grand casino of life, Chase has just upped the ante, and you, my dear wallet, are the sucker at the table. But hey, at least your ride to the poorhouse will be cushy, thanks to those sweet, sweet Lyft points.
