We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Earning the sign-up bonus for the Chase Sapphire Reserve will be harder for lots of y’all.  Because of Chase’s new rules regarding the Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Preferred cards.

    But the good news is, folks who already have the Chase Sapphire Reserve can now refer a friend and earn up to 50,000 bonus Chase Ultimate Rewards points per year!

    That’s a big deal, because 10,000 points are worth at least $150 in travel with the Chase Sapphire Reserve!

    Chase Ultimate Rewards points are my favorite kind of points to earn.  And they’re the best for beginners in the miles and points hobby, too!  That’s because they’re flexible, have great travel transfer partners, and they’re relatively easy to earn.

    So I was bummed to hear that Chase changed their rules about earning the sign-up bonuses on their Sapphire cards.  Customers will NO longer be able to sign-up for a second Sapphire card.  This means that, for example, folks who already have a Chase Sapphire Preferred will no longer be approved for a Chase Sapphire Reserve card, or vice versa.

    But a silver lining is that Chase is offering a 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards point refer-a-friend bonus for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card!  Here’s what you need to know:

    So if you have a partner who collects miles & points, one of you could sign-up for the card first, and then refer the other a little later!  That way you’ll end up with an extra 10,000 bonus points.

    Go to Chase’s refer-a-friend page, enter your account information, and type the email addresses of the friends you want to refer.

    Just make sure you do NOT recommend the card to someone who has opened 5+ cards from any bank (NOT counting Chase business cards and these other business cards) in the past 24 months. Because it’s unlikely they’ll be approved.

    Bottom Line

    Chase is now offering a 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards point bonus for referring friends to the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. And you can earn up to 50,000 points per calendar year!

    This is a nice offer, especially after Chase has made it much more difficult to be approved for multiple Chase Sapphire credit cards.

    If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve, go to the Chase Sapphire Reserve refer-a-friend page, enter your account information, and type the email addresses of the friends you want to refer!
