Chase Sapphire Reserve® For Business Review 2025: Worth The Wait?
Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business cardholders can access over 1,300 lounges around the globe. This includes the Sapphire Lounge by the Club network and Priority Pass Select with enrollment.
Notably, primary card members can also bring two free guests per visit, including to the luxury Sapphire Lounge by the Club network. While competitors have made recent moves to remove complimentary guest access from their high-end lounges, the Sapphire Reserve stands out by continuing to buck that trend. Money-Saving Annual Travel Credits
We were excited to learn that the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business will receive the same flexible $300 annual travel credit that the personal Chase Sapphire Reserve® has long been famous for. Unlike some travel credits from competing cards, you don't need to book travel through a portal to use this credit. Instead, it goes toward the first $300 you spend on any travel purchases each year with an extensive list of qualifying purchases.
But the Sapphire Reserve for Business doesn't stop there. It also offers a $500 credit for stays with The Edit by Chase Travel's collection of hotels and resorts—up to $250 from January to June for prepaid bookings and another $250 from July to December. This is the first business card to provide access to The Edit. Plus, card members who book at least a two-night stay will receive additional on-property benefits like a $100 property credit, daily breakfast for two, room upgrades (when available) and more. Up to 8X Points on Travel Bookings
With the Sapphire Reserve for Business, you'll 5% cash back on travel purchased through Chase Travel℠, 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more and 2% cash back on all other purchases. Those are strong earnings rates, especially since some top competitors like the The Business Platinum Card® from American Express (Terms apply, rates & fees) and Capital One Venture X Business don't offer any bonus points for travel purchased outside their respective portals. Excellent Redemption Flexibility
Unlike the rewards earned by many other premium travel cards, Ultimate Rewards points can be redeemed for cash back at a value of 1 cent per point. However, you could find much higher value through travel redemptions, such as by transferring points to one of Chase's travel partners or taking advantage of Chase's new 'Points Boost' program, where points can be worth up to 2 cents each. Wide Array of Credits Tailored to Businesses
Chase is offering over $1,000 in potential value for eligible purchases with select business services. These include: $400 ZipRecruiter credit for hiring. Earn up to $200 in statement credits from January to June and another $200 from July to December for purchases made directly with ZipRecruiter.
Earn up to $200 in statement credits from January to June and another $200 from July to December for purchases made directly with ZipRecruiter. $200 Google Workspace credit for AI business tools. Earn up to $200 annually in statement credits for purchases made directly on Google Workspace.

Get up to $25 in monthly promos, including a $5 promo for restaurants and two $10 promos for non-restaurant orders. Promos will be available at checkout for orders placed with a Sapphire Reserve card enrolled in DashPass. $120 DashPass membership for DoorDash.

There's generally less fine print with these benefits than what you'll find with the Amex Business Platinum's bevy of credits. Still, the majority of them are broken up into monthly or semiannual chunks. And the $25 monthly DoorDash value could be especially difficult to maximize as it's broken up into not one, not two, but three different promos; and only $5 each month can be used toward restaurant orders. Best-in-Class Travel Protections
The Chase Sapphire Reserve has long been renowned for offering some of the strongest travel protections on the market, and the business version of the card is following in that tradition. It delivers the same comprehensive lineup of travel protections, including primary auto rental coverage, trip cancellation and interruption insurance, trip delay reimbursement, lost luggage reimbursement, baggage delay insurance and more. It's worth noting these protections extend to employee cardholders as well. Bonus: Extra Benefits for Big Spenders
If you spend $120,000 on the Reserve Business card in a calendar year, you'll unlock a set of exclusive perks that last through the end of that year and all of the next. These include IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite status and Southwest Airlines A-List status. Plus, you'll get up to $1,000 in statement credits—up to $500 for Southwest Airlines flights booked through Chase Travel and up to $500 to use at the Shops at Chase, Chase's new online shopping platform. Other Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business Benefits Complimentary IHG Platinum Elite status through December 31, 2027. Enjoy perks like room upgrades, early check-in and late checkout at IHG hotels.

Wimbledon 2025: Coco Gauff is just 21 but already thinking about what to do after tennis
LONDON (AP) — To be clear, Coco Gauff didn't bring up the word 'star' during a recent interview with The Associated Press; the reporter did. So as Gauff began to answer a question about balancing her life as a professional athlete with her off-court interests, she caught herself repeating that term. 'I definitely didn't know how it would look like,' she began with a smile, 'before I got to be, I guess, a star — feels weird to call myself that — but I definitely did want to expand outside of tennis. Always. Since I was young.' She still is young, by just about any measure, and she is a really good tennis player — Gauff owns the Grand Slam titles and No. 2 ranking to prove it as she heads into Wimbledon, which begins Monday — but the 21-year-old American is also more than that. Someone unafraid to express her opinions about societal issues. Someone who connects with fans via social media. Someone who is the highest-paid female athlete in any sport, topping $30 million last year, according to with less than a third of that from prize money and most via deals with companies such as UPS, New Balance, Rolex and Barilla. Someone who recently launched her own management firm. And someone who wants to succeed in the business world long after she no longer swings a racket on tour. 'It's definitely something that I want to start to step up for post-career. Kind of start building that process, which is why I wanted to do it early. Because I didn't want to feel like I was playing catch-up at the end of my career,' said Gauff, who will face Dayana Yastremska in the first round at the All England Club on Tuesday. 'On the business side of things, it doesn't come as natural as tennis feels. I'm still learning, and I have a lot to learn about,' Gauff said. 'I've debated different things and what paths I wanted to take when it came to just stimulating my brain outside of the court, because I always knew that once I finished high school that I needed to put my brain into something else.' In a campaign announced this week by UPS, which first partnered with Gauff in 2023 before she won that year's U.S. Open, she connects with business coach Emma Grede — known for working with Kim Kardashian on Skims, and with Khloe Kardashian on Good American — to offer mentoring to three small-business owners. 'Coco plays a key role in helping us connect with those younger Gen-Z business owners — emerging or younger entrepreneurs,' Betsy Wilson, VP of digital marketing and brand activation at UPS, said in a phone interview. 'Obviously, she's very relevant in social media and in culture, and working with Coco helps us really connect with that younger group.' While Grede helped the entrepreneurs, Gauff also got the opportunity to pick up tips. 'It's really cool to learn from someone like her,' Gauff said. 'Whenever I feel like I'm ready to make that leap, I can definitely reach out to her for advice and things like that. ... This will help me right now and definitely in the long term.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: More AP tennis:

Will The ‘Beautiful' Bill Increase The Deficit?
NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 19: The National Debt Clock is seen February 19, 2004 in New York City. ... More According to a Treasury Department report, the U.S. governments national debt, the accumulation of past budget shortfalls, reached a total of more than $7 trillion for the first time. (Photo by) The performative exchange of military strikes between Iran and the US means that a nuclear tipped hot war in the Middle East is off the cards for the moment, though the bad news is that a far greater crisis awaits. In the past five or so weeks prominent financiers – Ray Dalio, Jamie Dimon and even Elon Musk – have warned about the burgeoning fiscal deficit and the mountain of debt that the US (and other countries) has accumulated. A very decent blog post by Indermit Gill, the chief economist at the World Bank, outlines the viewpoint. Next week, there is a good chance that the Senate passes President Trump's budget, which according to the independent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) will swell the deficit by close to USD 3trn and push debt to GDP towards an unprecedented 125% in the next ten years Additionally, rumours that the next Federal Reserve chair will be picked soon by President Trump (Powell leaves in May 2026) has upset the dollar, making life even more difficult for foreign holders of US debt. What is interesting is not how gargantuan the world's debt load has become, but how few people care. Politics in the West has changed so much that it has neutered what used to be a political class who in a very Catholic way, pronounced themselves to be fiscally responsible. In the US, it used to be the case that a good number of Senators were what was called 'fiscal hawks', or had an aversion to large budget deficits, and an even greater aversion to resolving them through higher taxes (the US has only produced budget surplus twice – under Lyndon Johnson and then Bill Clinton – and in both cases taxes were raised). Paul Krugman has referred to deficit hawks as 'deficit scolds', because the spend more time warning about the dangers of the deficit than fixing it. Ronald Reagan, and the policy makers who surrounded him – namely James Baker, Nicholas Brady and Don Reagan, were fiscally conservative by reputation but had the luxury of being able to grow the US economy through tax cuts and de-regulation. At the time (early 1980's onwards) some Republicans had a 'starve the beast' mindset, which is to say that they favoured lowering taxes so that the government would have less revenue to spend, but there is little evidence that this worked as a strategy (partly because many of the initial Reagan tax cuts were aimed at the rich). In the post Reagan phase, deficit reduction as a virtue came into its own in the Robert Rubin era (at the Treasury), and many of his former colleagues and acolytes continued this during the early years of the Obama presidency (a relevant private body is the Hamilton Project, where Rubin was a founder). One of the notable initiatives of the Obama White House was the creation of the US National Committee on National Fiscal Responsibility and Reform or the Simpson-Bowles Commission as it became known, a bi-partisan body that aimed to reduce the fiscal deficit and debt. Its most noteworthy aspect, in my memory, was the degree of civility and collaboration between representatives of the Democrats and Republicans. Such a body could not exist today. Indeed, the radicalisation of parts of both parties, in the context of quantitative easing (which has dulled the impact of rising debt and deficits) has broken the link between fiscal responsibility and electability. For example, the first crack in the Republican edifice was the advent of the Tea Party Movement, one of whose tenets was tough fiscal responsibility, as inspired by a 'Chicago Tea Party' rant from CNBC commentator Rick Santelli in 2009. Many of the Tea Party oriented voters and Republican politicians then gravitated to the Trump corner in 2016, the price of which was a surrender of their fiscal sacred cows. Today there is only a handful of fiscally conservative Republican Senators (the Club for Growth publishes an annual scorecard of how fiscally rigorous it thinks members of the House and Senate are). The majority of Republican Senators appear happy to give the nod to a policy that edges the US closer to the financial precipice. Indeed, not only will the Trump budget favour wealthy households but it will increase the number of financially precarious households, and damage healthcare and education provision. The other interesting observation I draw is that the relationship between debt and politics has now reached a turning point, and from here debt will condition politics. I see this happening in at least three ways. The first is that in the context of 'zero fiscal space' the constraints imposed by high levels of debt and deficits, will drive new splits within parties, for example between those who are keen to spend more on defence, versus those who wish to preserve social welfare safety nets. The revolt by a large number of Labour MPs against benefit cuts imposed by Keir Starmer is an example. In the future, this cleavage may inspire new political parties. To echo a recent note (The Power Algorithm) new 'tech bro' parties could materialise that prefer using robots to do the work of immigrants and that technology should be deployed for social control. The second, related scenario is that in the absence of money to spend, the traditional 'pork barrel' cycle of politics disintegrates, and instead politicians tilt the broad political debate to non-fiscal issues – identity, foreign policy, and immigration. A third element in the hypothesis is that voters observe mainstream politicians to be helpless and useless in the face of very high fiscal constraints, and they become largely apathetic about politics and in some cases vote for extreme candidates, such as 'chainsaw economists' as in the case of Argentina. In this way, and perhaps exceptionally in history, the coming debt crisis (if the World Bank's economist is correct) will be intertwined with the current crisis of politics.
