Chase Sapphire Preferred Card Now Offers FREE 1-Year Apple TV+ Subscription (Until 2026) – Plus $7.50/mo Apple One Discount & New Perks!

Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders can now enjoy a free one-year Apple TV+ subscription, with additional perks for Apple One subscribers. The new benefits, announced today, include a $7.50 monthly discount for Apple One users and expanded rewards in travel and transportation categories. The offer is available immediately to both new and existing cardholders, though activation deadlines and specific terms apply.

According to Chase’s official announcement, cardholders who activate their Chase Sapphire Preferred card by December 31, 2026 will receive a complimentary 12-month subscription to Apple TV+, typically priced at $12.99 per month in the U.S.. For those already subscribed to Apple TV+ directly through Apple, the Chase perk will automatically override the paid subscription for the duration of the promotion, with billing resuming afterward.

Apple One subscribers—those who bundle Apple TV+ with other services like Apple Music or iCloud—will instead receive a $7.50 monthly discount on their Apple One subscription for 12 months. This discount applies automatically if the card is activated through Chase’s website or mobile app using the same Apple ID linked to the Apple One billing.

What Are the New Perks for Chase Sapphire Preferred Cardholders?

The updated Chase Sapphire Preferred card now includes several enhanced benefits beyond the Apple TV+ offer. Key additions include:

• A doubled annual hotel credit, now offering $100 in statement credits for qualifying hotel stays.
• An expanded 3× points rewards category, now covering gas, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and bookings on Airbnb and Vrbo.
• A new $120 credit every four years for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS enrollment fees.
• Enhanced emergency evacuation and transportation coverage, though specific details remain limited in Chase’s official materials.

However, Chase has also discontinued the 10% anniversary bonus on Ultimate Rewards points, and the transfer rate to World of Hyatt has been adjusted to 4:3 from the previous 5:4.

How Does This Compare to the Sapphire Reserve?

While the Chase Sapphire Preferred card now offers a free Apple TV+ subscription, its higher-tier sibling, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, has long included complimentary subscriptions to both Apple TV+ and Apple Music. The Reserve card, however, carries a significantly higher $795 annual fee compared to the Preferred’s $95 fee.

For new cardholders, Chase is currently offering a limited-time bonus of 100,000 points after spending $5,000 in the first three months. This promotion is subject to change, so potential applicants should verify current terms before applying.

Who Qualifies for the Apple TV+ Perk?

Both new and existing Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders are eligible for the Apple TV+ subscription, provided they activate their card by the December 31, 2026 deadline. The process involves:

1. Logging into the Chase website or opening the Chase Mobile app.
2. Navigating to the card’s benefits section and selecting the Apple TV+ option.
3. Confirming the subscription, which will automatically replace any existing Apple TV+ plan for the promotional period.

For Apple One subscribers, the discount applies automatically if the same Apple ID is used for both the Apple One subscription and the Chase card activation. No additional steps are required beyond linking the accounts.

Why Does This Matter for Cardholders?

The new perks make the Chase Sapphire Preferred card a more attractive option for travelers, tech enthusiasts, and Apple ecosystem users. The free Apple TV+ subscription alone saves cardholders nearly $155 annually, while the expanded rewards categories—particularly for EV charging and Airbnb/Vrbo bookings—align with growing consumer trends.

Additionally, the doubled hotel credit and new Global Entry/NEXUS credit provide tangible value for frequent travelers, offsetting some of the card’s $95 annual fee. The discontinuation of the 10% anniversary bonus, however, may disappoint long-time cardholders accustomed to the extra rewards.

What Happens Next?

Chase has not announced any further updates to the Sapphire Preferred card’s benefits beyond the current promotions. Cardholders should monitor their Chase account for automatic activations of the Apple TV+ subscription or Apple One discount. For the latest details, refer to Chase’s official benefits page or Apple’s Apple One support.

If you’re considering applying for the card, note that the current 100,000-point sign-up bonus is available for a limited time. Potential applicants should review Chase’s terms and conditions to ensure they meet the spending requirements.
