I first learned about the new Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card from this Bloomberg article: Chase Sapphire Reserve: Deal-Seeking Obsessives Have a New Favorite Credit Card - Bloomberg
Then I went to the Chase site and found the info on it: https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/chase-sapphire-reserve1?CELL=6304&IS2F=Y71UH0
Basically if you can charge $4k in 3 months you get $1000 back. This becomes $1500 if used in the Chase Ultimate Rewards program. I've used the Ultimate Rewards for reserving a car (Dollar rental in Hawaii) and the only catch was you have to pay for it up front but get very good rates. There is a $450 yearly fee for the card but you can offset that by the 3x points and the $300 back annually. Not for everyone but for us it's worth trying for a year or two.
I applied for this and should be getting it very soon. The only way you can apply is apparently through their web site. Even though we are Chase customers I still had to go through some hoops to get a rep to lift the security freeze we have with Experian so the card could be expedited.
