Do I get TSA PreCheck with Chase Sapphire?

Although it has many travel benefits, the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card does not reimburse the TSA PreCheck application fee. The Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card offers a statement credit up to $100 every four years as reimbursement for a TSA PreCheck application fee.



You do not get an automatic TSA PreCheck membership with a Chase Sapphire card, but the Chase Sapphire Reserve offers a $120 statement credit every four years to reimburse the application fee for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, or NEXUS. To use this perk, you simply pay the application fee with your Sapphire Reserve card, and the credit will appear on your statement within 24 to 48 hours. It is important to note that the Chase Sapphire Preferred (the mid-tier card) does not offer this specific fee credit. If you have the Reserve card, most experts recommend applying for Global Entry instead of just TSA PreCheck, as Global Entry costs the same $120 but includes TSA PreCheck privileges as well as expedited entry back into the US from international trips. In 2026, this remains one of the most popular "luxury" travel benefits, effectively making the high-end card's annual fee more manageable by covering the costs of these essential time-saving airport programs.
