Luxury business travel card enthusiasts: Chase has entered the chat. The Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business officially launches June 23. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some details remain under wraps, including the initial sign-up bonus. So how the Sapphire Reserve for Business stacks up against the <\/span>best business credit cards<\/span> is unclear. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But here\u2019s everything we know right now.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s expensive.<\/span><\/span> With an annual fee of $795, the Sapphire Reserve for Business is the most expensive mainstream business travel card. That label was long held by The Business Platinum Card from American Express, but not anymore. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It has a super-high reward rate for travel.<\/span><\/span> The Sapphire Reserve for Business easily beats other business travel cards when it comes to flights and hotels. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  • \n
    \n

    4X points on flights and hotels.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n
    \n

    8X points on Chase Travel purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Most other <\/span>business travel cards<\/span> earn between 1 and 3 points per $1 spent on flights and hotels. The Sapphire Reserve for Business doesn\u2019t earn that 4X rate on all<\/span> <\/span><\/span>travel, though. Rental cars, gas, taxis, public transportation and passenger trains such as Amtrak, all fall under \u201ceverything else\u201d and earn 1 point per $1.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The points you earn can be worth twice as much with the card\u2019s points boost offers, too. With this perk, points redeemed on select flights and hotels (via Chase Travel) are worth 2 cents per point rather than the standard 1 cent per point.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    It comes with lounge access. <\/span><\/span>Primary cardholders get access to the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club network of lounges. That includes seven locations, with three more \u201ccoming soon.\u201d You\u2019ll also get a free pass into more than 1,300 Priority Pass Select lounges.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Sapphire Reserve for Business primary cardholders can bring two guests when they visit a lounge. That\u2019s a significant advantage over other luxury business cards, like the Venture X Business, which are rolling back guest access.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Its value lies in coupon-style discounts. <\/span><\/span>This is a familiar, if not annoying, model for premium travel cards. Charge a super-high fee and offer statement credits for various services to help offset that upfront cost. Whether the card is worth the annual fee comes down to whether you cash in those discounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The Sapphire Reserve for Business offers the following statement credits:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
