I don't think so... But also, cash that shite out before you do!
eta: Cash out, transfer to Hyatt or some airline, book through the Portal, whatever. No point in risking it.

If you don’t have a roughly equivalent card to transfer the points to, I would either transfer them all to a transfer partner, or I would downgrade to a Sapphire Preferred instead of cancelling.

Yes you will lose them unless you have an Ink or a CSP to transfer them to.

I was an extremely early adopter of the Reserve, and if they go anywhere near that annual fee without offsetting it with an increase in travel credit, I'm out. Speaking of offsets, I'm getting really tired of the touting of very small ($5-10/mo) benefits to varying subscription services that don't rollover as a justification for increased annual fees
I'm aghast you kept it this whole time! I'm a year out from getting my 4th CSP/CSR depending on who has the better offer.
To be fair, I've had a $95 old ink bold that is called whatever now that I've had for a decade so that's why I can churn the CSPs

Could also move the points to any of their no fee "cash back" cards like Freedom Flex or Unlimited.
Then get a premium card later and those points become transferable again

I thought about pitching that, but the specter of point devaluations always makes me nervous about sitting on a hoard for very long.

Is it possible to simply downgrade to a Chase Sapphire and move the points into that bucket? Honestly, it should just happen with the downgrade.

How does this work?
OpenTable Sapphire Reserve
I'm assuming if you book a Sapphire Reserve restaurant on OpenTable and pay with your linked credit card, you'll get a statement credit up to $150 every 6 months. Right now you just get access to prime reservations. I live in Nola part time and eat at several restaurants that are part of the program so it will be beneficial for me.
I haven't seen anything official about that being a perk. Just rumor.

There used to be a regular Chase Sapphire that was lower than CSP.
But yes, downgrading from CSR to CSP will work fine. I thought the issue was avoiding annual fees or something, which is why I mentioned the other cards that could hold them.

This is becoming the new normal and its awful. Didnt AMEX start all that crap?
Oh here's $120/yr of credits to something you dont really use as an added benefit to us hiking the fee by only $100....btw cant use $120 at once, it's only $10/mo actually
Infuriating

Hate the news of a fee increase, but your thread title is perfect.

I was also an early adopter of the Reserve on that original 100k point signing bonus and have kept it since then
I'm concerned about this as I transfer 6-7 Chase cards worth of points between me and wife to my Reserve for better redemptions through the portal and such.
Guess I should start burning through some points soon...
Although the $500 SW credit could make it worthwhile to keep.

They just make the use of the program so much more complex. Maybe that's part of the gig is marketing of the benefits and then adoption rates are low because people forget about it.

My wife would kill me if I got rid of our amexes due to the lounge. But the benefits just aren't worth it anymore

Oh I just realized the SW credit was 75k spending I spread over more cards than that haha
The end may be near

Amex Delta Reserve has a similar benefit with Resy (special access and monthly credit). Though you don't have to actually book a restaurant thru Resy to get credit. Just make a charge for a restaurant that is bookable on Resy; wonder if it works the same.
I currently have a CSP and had thought about upgrading it to CSR. The $300 dining credit would offset the fee increase. So I'll wait and see what the final changes are.

I've had the Platinum for around 10 years now. Whenever the annual fee hits, I always call and get a retention offer. It's usually $500 credit or 50k points. I do spend north of $75k each year on it. That's the only reason I haven't ditched it. Coupon book shite.

Damn. I literally just got the Reserve this year
