      With Sapphire Reserve, travel is even more rewarding. In the latest issue of our travel magazine, learn how eligible cardmembers can get the most out of their benefits and earn 8x points on flights, hotels, local activities and more when booking through Chase Travel.

       

      Welcome to Sapphire Reserve’s Fresh Starts issue, a celebration of trips and experiences that help you hit restart and see yourself and the world anew.

      For our latest travel magazine, available in print for eligible Chase Sapphire cardmembers, we sent writers to track down places that capture the spirit of rebirth and renewal: A delicious return to Spain’s Basque Country. New long-distance hikes and surf breaks in Sri Lanka. And wellness detours to consider along Route 66 as it celebrates its 100th birthday. Also inside: David Chang’s quest for better airport food, plus openings and renovations from Manhattan’s Upper East Side to northern Chile.

      We hope these ideas inspire you to begin a new adventure and make it transformative with Sapphire Reserve. Because every trip is a chance to return more ready for what’s next, and the best part of a fresh start is that you can have as many as you want.
