Big news for Chase Sapphire fans! Starting January 25, 2026, Chase is making it officially easier to grab both the Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve welcome bonuses. Currently, the rules are a bit murky, making it unclear if you could get a bonus on both cards if you already held one. But the new policy clarifies that you can earn a bonus on each card, one time per card, even if you already have the other!

Basically, if you have the Sapphire Preferred, you'll be able to apply for the Reserve and snag that bonus too (and vice versa). The key takeaway? You can score two juicy bonuses instead of being limited to just one across the Sapphire family.

There are a couple of caveats. You still can't get the same bonus on the same card twice. So, if you've already had the Sapphire Reserve and earned its bonus, you won't be able to get it again on that specific card. Also, it is unclear whether Chase's infamous "Pop-Up Jail" (where you're denied a bonus seemingly at random) will still exist. But overall, this is a fantastic change for anyone playing the credit card rewards game!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
