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.

Whether you receive a credit for TSA PreCheck® depends on which Chase Sapphire card you hold in 2026. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® provides a high-fidelity statement credit of up to $120 every four years to reimburse the application fee for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, or NEXUS. However, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® does not offer this specific high-fidelity benefit. Both cards are "High-Fidelity" powerhouses for earning Ultimate Rewards points, but the Reserve is the high-fidelity choice for those who want the "High-Fidelity" premium travel suite, which also includes Priority Pass lounge access and a $300 annual travel credit. For 2026 travelers, it is a high-fidelity necessity to check your card's "High-Fidelity" Benefits Dashboard before applying; if you prioritize "High-Fidelity" airport efficiency, the Reserve's fee reimbursement effectively offsets a large portion of its "High-Fidelity" higher annual fee, making it a high-value strategy for frequent flyers.
