Apple fans, your favorite travel rewards card just leveled up with perks tailored to your ecosystem. As of today, June 15, 2026, Chase has refreshed the Chase Sapphire Preferred card with stronger earning rates, enhanced travel protections, and — most exciting for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users — a complimentary one-year Apple TV subscription.
Why This Matters for Apple Device Users
• Free Apple TV for a Year: New and existing cardmembers can activate a full year of Apple TV+ at no cost (activate by December 31, 2026). Simply head to the Benefits & Rewards section in your Chase mobile app or online, link your Apple ID, and enjoy hit shows, movies, and originals. This pairs perfectly with your Apple devices — no extra apps or hassle required.
• 3x Points on Apple Streaming Services: Earn 3x Ultimate Rewards points on purchases at Apple TV and Apple Music. This stacks nicely if you already subscribe to these services or gift them to family. Other major streamers like Netflix, Spotify, Disney+, and more also earn 3x, giving you broad coverage for your entertainment spending.
• Seamless Apple Pay & Wallet Integration: Like all Chase cards, the Sapphire Preferred works flawlessly with Apple Wallet. Add it for contactless payments, transit, and rewards tracking right from your iPhone. No foreign transaction fees mean it shines on international trips too.
New Earning Power That Fits Everyday Apple Lifestyles
The card keeps its $95 annual fee while adding real value:
• 3x on gas & EV charging — Perfect for Tesla owners or anyone road-tripping with an iPhone in the mount.
• 3x on vacation rentals (Airbnb, Vrbo, and more) — Book that dream stay through the Chase Travel portal for 5x instead.
• 5x on all Chase Travel purchases (flights, hotels, rental cars, activities) — Book your next adventure and watch points pile up fast.
• 3x on dining (including delivery) and online groceries — Everyday spending that funds more travel.
New cardmembers can earn a 100,000-point welcome bonus after spending $5,000 in the first three months — enough for several round-trip flights or luxury hotel stays when redeemed through Chase Travel.
Travel Perks That Give Peace of Mind
• $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit (doubled from $50)
• Up to $120 credit every four years for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS
• Expanded protections, including Emergency Evacuation and Transportation coverage (up to $100,000)
• No blackout dates, Points Boost for extra value on popular hotels/flights, and flexible point redemptions (including transfers to airline/hotel partners)
Existing cardmembers get these updates automatically — no need to reapply.
MacDailyNews Note: If you own Apple devices, travel at least a couple times a year, and value premium streaming alongside strong rewards, the Sapphire Preferred now offers outstanding bang for its $95 fee. The Apple TV perk alone can offset a good chunk of the annual cost, while the boosted earning categories help you redeem for more trips (or even Apple gift cards via Ultimate Rewards promotions).
