Chase Sends Targeted Upgrade Offers on United Cards and Sapphire Preferred
Some Chase cardholders are getting targeted upgrade offers, including United card deals and a Sapphire Preferred to Reserve upgrade, according to two outlets.
Doctor of Credit reported that Chase is sending upgrade offers to some holders of its United cards. The headline of the post mentions 15,000 miles or $150 as the reward options. The site said a new round of offers went out on Oct. 9.
Doctor of Credit also said the United card offers are valid until Dec. 31, 2026. It noted that upgrade offers on Chase United cards have not been common in the past.
Frequent Miler described a different, targeted deal that lets people with the Chase Sapphire Preferred card move up to the Chase Sapphire Reserve. Its headline calls it a 75K upgrade offer. According to the site, a previous deal from late last year offered 25,000 Ultimate Rewards points to those who made the switch, and it judged that deal to be rather underwhelming.
What it means for travelers
Upgrade offers can give extra miles or points that travelers can use toward flights and hotels. Because the offers are targeted, only some cardholders will get them. The notes do not list full terms, fees or requirements.
What to watch next
Cardholders can check their Chase account to see if they have an offer. Read the full terms on Chase's official site before applying or upgrading.
