Chase Sapphire Reserve: Global Entry credit

What the Chase Sapphire Reserve's Global Entry credit covers as its issuer summarises it, which cards with dated benefits list the same thing for a lower fee, and whether the card's rewards pay its fee before the benefit is counted.

Read this first

This list comes from each issuer's benefit summary, read on the month shown beside each card. Summaries leave out the exclusions, the claim limits per year and the conditions — often that the whole trip or purchase has to go on the card — so read the card's full guide to benefits before you rely on one. 77 of the 118 cards in the catalogue have no benefits recorded here yet and are left out, so a card missing from this list may still have it.

What the summary says

Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application credit

The summary states no limit for it. That means none was written down, not that there is none — the guide to benefits has the figure.

Who it is worth it for

If a Global Entry or TSA PreCheck credit is the reason you are looking at the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the PenFed Pathfinder Rewards lists it too, with an annual fee of $95 — $700 a year less. 8 cards here carry it for a lower fee in all. What the difference buys is the rest of the Chase Sapphire Reserve: its rewards and the other benefits below. Compare the two summaries before deciding they are the same cover.

On rewards alone, the illustrative household spending $2,205 a month (the assumption, in full) earns about $799 a year on the Chase Sapphire Reserve, or $4 once its $795 fee is paid. So the rewards pay the fee before this benefit is counted: for somebody who spends like that household, the benefit comes on top.
