After the introductory bonus of 100,000 points was gone, the Chase Sapphire Reserve was still a favorite of travelers.
The card's current offer will end at 9 a.m. on Thursday, December 1st. If you've been looking for the bonus, now is the time to take it.
After spending $4,000 in the first three months from account opening, new applicants will earn 80,000 Chase Ultimate rewards points. Thanks to the variety of ways to make the most of your Chase points, this bonus is worth more than a thousand dollars. Using those points for travel purchases through the Chase portal will give you $1,200 in value.
Those who apply before 9 a.m. will get the bonus. There's only a few days left to grab this increased offer.
This is the highest bonus this card has offered in over five years, and it was last seen in March of last year. Here is a list of previous offers.

There is an array of benefits that can easily cover the out-of-pocket cost of the card.
A $300 annual travel credit is the most useful and easy to use, which is applied to virtually any travel-related expense. You can get a statement credit for a Global Entry application fee every four years along with Priority Pass lounge access.
Ahead of what is shaping up to be a very busy summer, the card comes with a lot of travel protections for when things go wrong. You will enjoy coverage when you use your card for travel purchases, including trip delay protection, trip cancellation/interruption insurance, and primary car rental coverage.
I used Chase's trip cancellation coverage to recover 800 dollars in airfare.
It is worth noting that some of the protections apply to the Chase Preferred Card. If you spend $4,000 in the first three months of your account opening, you'll get a sign-up bonus of 600,000 points and a 10% points bonus on your anniversary.
You can only hold one sign-up bonus at a time because Chase imposes a waiting period of 48 months between earning sign-up bonuses. If you received a bonus on the card in the last four years, you won't be able to take advantage of the new offer.
Chase has a rule that applies to the sapphires reserve. It is almost certain that your application will be rejected if you have opened five personal credit cards in the last year.
Thanks to the 80,000-point bonus that launched last month, it's a good time to add the Chase Sapphire Reserve to your wallet.
Don't wait. Only applicants can take advantage of this offer. On Thursday, December 1st.
You can get 80,000 bonus points if you spend $4,000 in the first 3 months.
