Is Global Entry free with Chase Sapphire Preferred?

Is Global Entry free with Chase Sapphire Preferred?? There are several travel benefits and rewards that Chase Sapphire Preferred cardmembers can enjoy. Unlike the cards above, Sapphire Preferred benefits don't include reimbursement for the Global Entry application fee.



No, Global Entry is not a benefit of the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. This is a common point of confusion because the higher-tier Chase Sapphire Reserve does offer a $100–$120 statement credit every four years to reimburse the application fee for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS. The Sapphire Preferred, while an excellent travel card for earning points, focuses its benefits on trip cancellation insurance and lower annual fees rather than airport luxury perks. If you have the Preferred card and apply for Global Entry, you will have to pay the $120 fee out of pocket. However, if you are looking for a card that covers this cost, other options besides the Sapphire Reserve include the Capital One Venture, United Explorer, or the Amex Platinum. It is always worth checking your specific "Guide to Benefits" in your Chase account, as credit card perks can occasionally be updated, but currently, the fee credit remains exclusive to the Reserve and other premium-tier travel cards.
