Does Chase Sapphire cover Global Entry?

Chase Sapphire Reserve is a premium travel credit card that charges an annual fee but provides several perks and benefits. One benefit is reimbursement for a TSA PreCheck, Global Entry or NEXUS fee. Reimbursement would be issued in the form of a statement credit up to $100.



Whether your Chase Sapphire card covers the Global Entry fee ($100 or $120) depends on which specific version you have. The Chase Sapphire Reserve (the premium version with the higher annual fee) provides a statement credit of up to $100 every four years specifically for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS. However, the Chase Sapphire Preferred (the mid-tier version) does not offer this benefit. If you have the Reserve, you simply pay the application fee with your card, and Chase automatically applies a credit to your account within one to two billing cycles. In 2026, as Global Entry processing times have fluctuated, this benefit remains a top-tier perk for frequent international travelers, especially since it includes TSA PreCheck as part of the membership, making the airport experience significantly smoother at both ends of the journey.
