Here's why I'm loving the Chase Sapphire Reserve 100,000-point, $500 travel credit welcome offer
The updated Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees) has received a lot of attention — its new $795 annual fee makes it one of the most expensive premium credit cards on the market. But what's also drawing eyes is the card's generous welcome bonus: For a limited time, new cardholders can earn 100,000 points and a $500 Chase Travel℠ credit after spending $5,000 in the first three months. Here's why we're loving the bonus. On Chase's site On Chase's site Get more than $2,700 in annual value with Sapphire Reserve.

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® is a standout premium credit card with plenty of luxury perks and statement credits to justify its annual $5 or 5% of the amount of each balance transfer, whichever is greater For starters, this is the best bonus the Chase Sapphire Reserve has ever seen. The last time this card offered a 100,000-point welcome offer was when it first launched in August 2016. The relaunched version of the Sapphire Reserve takes the 100K-point offer and adds up to $500 more in value with the travel credit. If you're an avid traveler, the bonus is well worth it. With Chase Ultimate Rewards® points valued by industry experts at about 2 cents per point, the 100,000 points you can earn are worth roughly $2,000 in value. Add in the $500 travel credit and you're at a bonus worth around $2,500. Keep in mind, too, that the typical Sapphire Reserve bonus is usually only around 60,000 points. Plus, Chase's new Points Boost feature allows Sapphire Reserve cardholders to earn up to 1.5X more value on their points when booking select airline tickets and hotel accommodations through Chase Travel. If you can reach the spending threshold to earn the new bonus (and pay off your credit card on time and in full every month), it's a no-brainer. Here are two ways one could cash in the bonus: The Sapphire Reserve's welcome offer is already a big draw, but don't forget about the travel credits and perks that complement the 100,000 bonus points. With the Sapphire Reserve, you'll receive a $120 TSA PreCheck®, Global Entry or NEXUS credit every four years to cover the application fee. The card also comes with a $300 annual travel credit, which will automatically be applied towards purchases made in the travel category. Both of these statement credits provide direct benefits to you while you travel, and they make better use of your 100K-point welcome offer. The Sapphire Reserve's 100K-point bonus, along with the $500 Chase Travel credit, opens up opportunities for exploration, and the Reserve complements this nicely with a lot of built-in travel protections. The card offers baggage delay insurance, trip cancellation and interruption insurance, including lost luggage reimbursement for up to $3,000 per covered traveler. Traveling Sapphire Reserve cardholders also get access to Chase Sapphire lounges and over 1,300 Priority Pass lounges for them and up to two guests at no additional cost. If you're looking for a travel rewards credit card, but don't want to pay an annual fee of triple digits, several options with lower fees can still provide a lot of value. One option is the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, at a $95 annual fee. The card's earning structure is simple, with 5X miles per dollar on hotel and rental cars booked through Capital One Travel and 2X miles per dollar on every other purchase. The Venture Rewards comes with up to a $120 statement credit for Global Entry or TSA PreCheck and a $50 hotel credit for every Lifestyle Collection booking with room upgrades when available.

Prince Harry throws shade at royal family, opens up on ‘discovering his own purpose'
Prince Harry attended the NEXUS Global Summit in New York City on Friday (June 27), where he seemingly threw shade at the royal family. During his fireside chat, 'Building Tomorrow: A Conversation on Service, Impact & Collective Action with Prince Harry,' with Rachel Gerrol, co-founder and CEO of NEXUS, the former royal spoke of his journey and 'discovering his purpose' over time. File photo of Prince Harry(AFP) During his speech, Prince Harry spoke of his journey in the world of philanthropy, transitioning from 'being born into a life of service to discovering his own purpose.' He further urged all attendees to 'take care of each other and our children in the future,' along with pushing them to 'tackle the systems instead of the symptoms keeping us down.' With about 350 leading philanthropists, impact investors, and social innovators in attendance, he inclined all attendees towards using their platforms to inspire meaningful collaboration and significant change, while reflecting on their legacies and ensuring that their investment aligns with a broader vision. These statements have led many royal watchers to quote this as an added instance of growing tensions between the former prince and the British Royal Family over his wife, Meghan Markle. What is the NEXUS Global Summit? The NEXUS Global Summit is an annual conference held in New York City that brings together leading thinkers to talk about generational challenges. The theme for this year- Brave Voices and Bold Ideas- aimed to open up discussion on crucial topics like mental health, AI and technology for good, climate change, and impact investing among others. Christy Turlington and Emma Bloomberg were other notable speakers present at the event. Prince Harry was invited as an undeclared speaker to represent the Archewell Foundation- an initiative pioneered by him and Markle in 2020 that focuses on three of the key aspects included in the summit- mental health, digital responsibility, and conservation. Prince Harry was last present in New York City for the Time100 Summit on April 27, which he attended to support his wife and speaker as she talked about her commercial ventures and the underlying beliefs behind them. Markle and Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in January 2020 and have since been devoting their time to philanthropic endeavors and raising their two kids (Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lillibet, 4) in Los Angeles, California. Tensions have been rife between the couple and the royal family ever since. By Stuti Gupta

Prince Harry Makes Surprise N.Y.C. Summit Appearance and Opens Up About His Journey from Duty to Purpose
Prince Harry made a surprise appearance at the NEXUS Global Summit in New York City on June 27 The Duke of Sussex shared his journey of service; being born into a life of service, but moving from having to serve to wanting to serve He also urged others to use their platforms for something "greater than ourselves"Prince Harry is back in New York City. On Friday, June 27, the Duke of Sussex, 40, stepped out in N.Y.C. as a featured speaker at the 2025 NEXUS Global Summit, where he addressed a group of next-generation philanthropists and impact investors. Harry hit the stage for a fireside chat titled "Building Tomorrow: A Conversation on Service, Impact & Collective Action with Prince Harry," in conversation with Rachel Gerrol, co-founder and CEO of NEXUS. Reflecting on his personal evolution, Prince Harry, 40, spoke about being born into a life of service, but moving from having to serve to wanting to serve. During his remarks, he emphasized the mission of the Archewell Foundation, which he co-founded with his wife, Meghan Markle, as being rooted in "compassionate leadership" and a commitment to "something greater than ourselves." He encouraged the group to "take care of each other and our children in the future" and "tackle the systems instead of the symptoms keeping us down." He also urged the group to consider what they want their own legacies to be, align their investments with that vision and use their platforms to foster meaningful collaboration and change. Harry and Meghan launched the Archewell Foundation in 2020 after stepping back from their royal roles, with a mission to 'Show Up, Do Good.' The 2025 NEXUS Global Summit takes place in New York City from June 26 to 28, bringing together 350 of the world's leading next-gen philanthropists, impact investors and social innovators. According to a statement, the event aims to unite these changemakers to "bring about solutions to the most pressing problems of a generation." This year's summit centers on the theme 'Brave Voices and Bold Ideas,' with discussions spanning mental health, AI and technology for good, climate change, impact investing, and more. Several of the key topics—mental health, digital responsibility, and conservation—align closely with Prince Harry's long-standing philanthropic priorities. Other notable speakers at the event include Christy Turlington and Emma Bloomberg. Harry's latest trip took him across the country from his California home, where he lives with Meghan and their children Prince Archie, 6 and Princess Lilibet, 4. The Duke of Sussex last stepped out in New York City on April 23, when he supported Meghan, 43, at the TIME100 Summit. There, the Duchess of Sussex hit the stage to discuss the juggle of her commercial ventures, as her As ever lifestyle brand, With Love, Meghan series on Netflix and Confessions of a Female Founder podcast all debuted this spring. In a candid confession during her panel, Meghan said that she was "the happiest I've ever been." "A confession for you today that I can very comfortably say is that I'm the happiest I've ever been," she said in conversation with TIME CEO Jessica Sibley. "To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive and have healthy kids who are so joyful...I never would have imagined at this point I would feel so happy and grateful, and I really do." Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more! While Prince Harry didn't join Meghan on stage then, they posed for photos together at the event and shared a kiss behind the scenes in a video she shared to Instagram the following day.

Eutelsat and France's Armed Forces Ministry Reach Landmark Framework Agreement for Low Orbit Satellite Services in the Context of Frances' NEXUS Program
Signaling a strategic evolution in France's space strategy, combining military and civilian resources Underscoring the crucial role of low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations in defense applications Providing strategic in-space resources in advance of the availability of the IRIS² constellation PARIS, June 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Eutelsat (ISIN: FR0010221234 - Euronext Paris / London Stock Exchange: ETL) and France's armed forces ministry (Direction générale de l'armement) have today announced a landmark framework agreement on the occasion of the Paris Airshow. The agreement is the embodiment of the NEXUS (Neo-Espace pour de multiples Usages Sécurisés) program launched by the French Ministry of Defence, which aims to reinforce the current French military space communications model by combining military and civilian resources. France reaffirms its commitment to the European IRIS² program, which has been supported from the outset since the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union in 2022. However, the urgency of the international situation means that it cannot wait until then. As the first concrete step in the NEXUS project, the French defense procurement agency (DGA) has reached a 10-year framework agreement, valued at up to €1 billion in expenditure, with Eutelsat, covering the supply of priority-access space resources (notably capacity on Eutelsat's OneWeb LEO constellation), the hosting of ancillary missions for the French armed forces, and operational and security maintenance. The agreement also covers the upgrading and securing of the constellation for military grade use. Jean-Francois Fallacher, Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat commented: "We are honored at the prospect of supporting the French armed forces through this historic agreement, which underscores the crucial role of low earth orbit satellite capacity in responding to the requirements of contemporary operational theaters. Eutelsat today offers the only commercially operated LEO constellation capable of meeting stringent military standards ahead of the deployment of IRIS². It provides global coverage, low latency, rapid deployment, and adaptability to mobile use cases, attributes validated by successful large-scale experiments conducted with the French Armed Forces." About Eutelsat Group Eutelsat Group is a global leader in satellite communications, delivering connectivity and broadcast services worldwide. The Group was formed through the combination of the Company and OneWeb in 2023, becoming the first fully integrated GEO-LEO satellite operator with a fleet of 35 Geostationary satellites and a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation of more than 600 satellites. The Group addresses the needs of customers in four key verticals of Video, where it distributes more than 6,500 television channels, and the high-growth connectivity markets of Mobile Connectivity, Fixed Connectivity, and Government Services. Eutelsat Group's unique suite of in-orbit assets enables it to deliver integrated solutions to meet the needs of global customers. The Company is headquartered in Paris and the Eutelsat Group employs more than 1,500 people across more than 50 countries.
