I’m a proud new Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business cardholder!
The 200,000 points signup bonus is excellent, albeit with a hefty $30,000 spend requirement.For me the $300 Travel Credit is good as cash, and hopefully that can be done twice during the first cardmember year which mostly offsets the $795 annual fee.
I’ve been trying to avoid hitting 5/24 and so have been focusing on business card applications.The standard advise going around is to apply for Chase business cards once every 6 months.My prior Chase business card was an INK Unlimited in early May 2025, and it’s now mid-November 2025, so that should be enough.
I also had a good feeling about applying now since it was crunch time for Chase INK applications with the 90k offer ending.
I hoped that with the influx of applications, approvals might somehow come easier.Who knows.
I decided to go for the Sapphire Reserve for Business card due to a few large tax bills (federal, state, property) which can cover a good chunk of the $30,000 spend requirement.The card gives 6 months for meeting the spend requirement which makes it easier to manage.
I used a referral link to apply for the card, and the card application went pending.Just two days later it was approved automatically without having to call in.
Yay!
Now off to spend $30,000…
