Chase Sapphire Reserve's 10th Anniversary Upgrades: The DoorDash Change Is Nice, the JSX Deal Is Exceptional
TravelChase is marking the Sapphire Reserve’s 10th anniversary with a DoorDash credit upgrade and five limited-time travel partner deals. The DoorDash change is permanent (through December 2029). The travel deals are time-limited and require direct booking with partners — not through the Chase Travel portal.
Neither change affects the annual fee.
The DoorDash Credit Upgrade
Effective October 1, 2026 through December 31, 2029:
- Previous: $5 monthly restaurant credit + two $10 non-restaurant credits
- New: $15 monthly credit for all eligible DoorDash orders + the same two $10 non-restaurant credits
For DashPass members, that’s up to $35 per month in total DoorDash value. The restaurant credit alone increases from $60 to $180 annually — an extra $120 per year in value for cardmembers who use DoorDash regularly.
This is a meaningful improvement. The $5 monthly restaurant credit was one of the weaker recurring benefits relative to the $550 annual fee; the $15 version is more defensible. If you’re already a DashPass subscriber who uses the card for DoorDash orders, the benefit change alone adds tangible ongoing value.
The Five Limited-Time Travel Deals
All offers require direct booking with the partner (not Chase Travel). Eligibility generally requires being a cardmember as of specific dates — most by September 16, 2026.
| Partner | Benefit | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| JSX | $200 back on $200+ spend | December 14, 2026 |
| Miraval/Alila (Hyatt) | $250 back on $1,000+ spend | December 14, 2026 |
| IHG Hotels & Resorts | $125 back on $500+ spend | October 16, 2026 |
| Wander | $350 back on $1,500+ spend | December 14, 2026 |
| Sixt | $125 back on $500+ spend | December 14, 2026 |
Why JSX Stands Out
JSX is an on-demand semi-private air carrier that operates terminal bypass service — small aircraft, private-side boarding, no TSA lines. The offer structure is $200 back on $200+ in JSX spend: effectively 100% reimbursement up to $200.
JSX flights often run in the $100–$250 range for short-haul routes, which means this benefit is functionally free round-trip flights or covered one-way travel depending on your route. The deadline is December 14, 2026 — enough runway to plan around a real trip rather than a forced booking.
For CSR cardmembers who have been curious about JSX but haven’t pulled the trigger, the 10th anniversary offer removes the financial barrier for a first experience.
The IHG Deadline Is October 16
The IHG deal — $125 back on $500+ at IHG properties — has a tighter deadline than the other offers: October 16, 2026, about four weeks from now. If you have an IHG stay planned (or can plan one quickly), this is the offer to act on first.
The So What
For existing CSR cardmembers: the DoorDash upgrade is automatic — no action required. The travel deals require direct booking and active enrollment or cardmember status as of specific snapshot dates. Check your eligibility window, prioritize the IHG deal first (tight deadline), and evaluate whether the JSX offer fits any travel you have planned before December 14.
For anyone evaluating whether the CSR still earns its $550 annual fee in 2026: the credit stack is now more compelling than it was at launch, and the 10th anniversary deals add short-window value for those who can use them.
