The Chase Sapphire Reserve card, once popular among millennials, has undergone changes to fees and rewards structure, with the annual fee increasing to $795.
Some individuals are considering canceling the card due to the updates, while Chase argues it will provide over $2,700 in annual value.
The author, who missed out on acquiring the card when it was highly rewarding, now finds satisfaction in witnessing others' dismay over the changes.
The card, known for its lucrative rewards and points bonuses, had garnered a legendary status, particularly during a period of abundant credit card perks.
While the new benefits may appeal to some, such as increased points on Chase Travel purchases, they may not align with everyone's preferences.
Some Reddit users express disappointment over the changes, highlighting concerns about the card's value proposition and specific perks offered.
Chase emphasizes improved points earnings on flights and hotels but acknowledges the complexity of the card's points system.
Individual cardholders are assessing whether the card remains worthwhile post-updates, considering factors like spending habits and desired perks.
The author, who initially felt regret for not obtaining the Chase Sapphire Reserve, now feels relieved by not being affected by the current changes.
