Step aside, American Express and Capital One — there’s a formidable player in the premium business card market: the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (see rates and fees). This card is the business counterpart of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees), a longtime TPG staff favorite.
With this card, Chase has firmly positioned itself in the premium business credit card space, competing directly with cards like The Business Platinum Card® from American Express and the Capital One Venture X Business. The Sapphire Reserve for Business carries a $795 annual fee, but its long list of statement credits, elite-status perks and travel benefits can help offset that cost for the right business owner.
One of the most compelling aspects of the card is its welcome offer, though earning it requires a significant amount of spending. This is your last chance to earn the limited-time welcome bonus, so now is the ideal time to apply. You must apply by Jan. 22 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Let’s take a look at the Sapphire Reserve for Business welcome offer, how much you need to spend to earn it and what it’s worth.
Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business current offer
New Sapphire Reserve for Business applicants can earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $30,000 in the first six months after opening an account. This is your last chance to apply for the card and earn this bonus. You must apply by Jan. 22 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
Based on TPG’s January 2026 valuations, this welcome offer is worth a whopping $4,100.
It’s important to note that this card won’t count toward Chase’s 5/24 rule since it’s a business credit card. However, you must be under 5/24 to be eligible to be approved. This means you cannot have opened five or more credit cards in the past two years.
Currently, there are no other welcome bonus eligibility restrictions (except the 5/24 rule). For example, if you received a welcome bonus on a consumer Sapphire card in the past, you will still be eligible to earn the bonus on the Sapphire for Business if approved.
