If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, June 30 is a date you should have circled on your calendar. Two of the card's semiannual credits (the $150 dining credit and the $150 StubHub credit) expire at the end of this month. That's up to $300 in value that goes away if you don't use it.
But beyond those two deadlines, it's also a good time to check in on the rest of your CSR credits. Between The Edit hotel credits, monthly DoorDash promos and your $300 annual travel credit, there's a lot to keep track of on a card with a $795 annual fee. Here's where everything stands heading into the second half of 2026.
(Also, if you don't have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® yet, note that there's currently an awesome limited time bonus offer where you can earn up to 100,000 points after spending $6,000 in the first 3 months from account opening.)
| Credit | Value | Deadline / Reset | Status (as of June 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exclusive Tables Dining Credit | Up to $150 | H1: June 30 / H2: Dec 31 | Use it before June 30 or lose it |
| StubHub Credit | Up to $150 | H1: June 30 / H2: Dec 31 | Use it before June 30 or lose it |
| The Edit Hotel Credit | Two $250 credits | Anytime before Dec 31, 2026 (requires prepaid, 2 night minimum stay) | No rush, but don't forget |
| DoorDash Credits | Two $10 + one $5 per month | 1st of each month | Resets monthly, use or lose |
| Annual Travel Credit | Up to $300 | Account anniversary date | Check your Chase app for your date |
Your first $150 Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables dining credit for 2026 expires on June 30. If you haven't used it yet, now is the time. You can see all the eligible restaurants using our map tool.
The process is simple: go to any restaurant that's part of the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables program and pay with your Chase Sapphire Reserve®. No reservation or special booking required. There are currently ~400 restaurants in the program across the United States.
Once July 1 hits, your second $150 dining credit for the back half of 2026 becomes available. So even if you miss the June 30 deadline, you'll still have a fresh $150 credit to work with through December 31.
Your first $150 StubHub credit of 2026 also expires on June 30. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® gives you up to $300 in StubHub credits per year, split into two $150 chunks: one for January through June and one for July through December.
You can use the credit on concerts, sporting events, theater and more. Purchases on viagogo count toward the credit too. One thing to keep in mind: you need to activate the StubHub benefit through your Chase account before it kicks in. If you haven't done that yet, do it now so you can get your $150 worth before the end of June.
The nice thing about StubHub is that the event itself doesn't have to happen before June 30. You just need to buy the tickets before the deadline. So if there's a concert or game later in the summer that you want to go to, buying tickets now still counts. For more details on how to get the most out of this credit, check out our StubHub credit guide.
Once July 1 hits, your second $150 StubHub credit for H2 2026 becomes available and runs through December 31. The StubHub benefit on the Chase Sapphire Reserve® is currently set to run through December 31, 2027.
The dining and StubHub credits are the ones with a hard June 30 deadline, but the Reserve has several other credits that are worth a quick check-in. None of these expire at the end of the month, but staying on top of them is how you get the most out of your $795 annual fee.
For 2026, you have two $250 Edit credits that can each be used on prepaid stays of 2 nights or more at an Edit property (up to $500 total per calendar year). You can use both credits anytime during the calendar year.
The common issue with the Edit credit is that the prices for some of these hotel stays are quite exorbitant. In those cases, I'd say just skip using the credit and don't feel like you HAVE to use it. However, there are opportunities to save money when using the Edit credit.
When the price for a 2 night+ stay is lower than $1,000, that's when the savings really come in. Chase's point boost feature for Edit hotels can give you up to 2.5 CPP value, though some hotels now offer 1.65 CPP instead. The idea is to split your Edit booking between cash and points. For instance, you could pay $250 in cash (cancelled out by the Edit credit) and cover the other $250 with points.
Every month, you get some DoorDash credits on the Chase Sapphire Reserve®. You have two $10 off coupons for non-restaurant orders and one $5 off coupon for a restaurant order. These reset on the 1st of each month, so if you don't use them, they're gone.
The $10 non-restaurant coupons have been particularly nice for me. I like to use them to finish my grocery list if I forget something at the store, or to push my grocery trip back one more day and grab a few things in the meantime. Don't forget that these are non-restaurant credits and minimums may apply for pickup orders.
Since these are monthly credits, there's no big deadline to worry about here. Just make it a habit to check for them at the start of each month so you're not leaving money on the table.
The $300 annual travel credit on the Reserve is not tied to the calendar year at all. It resets on your account anniversary, so it runs on its own timeline. If you opened your card in September, for example, your $300 credit refreshes every September.
If you're not sure when your anniversary is, check your Chase app or call the number on the back of your card. Just make sure you're using this credit before it resets so you're not leaving $300 on the table.
Keeping up with semiannual deadlines, monthly resets, and anniversary-based credits is a lot of work. That's exactly what nextcard is built for. Add your Chase Sapphire Reserve® to your nextcard wallet and you'll see all your credits, annual fees, and net value in one place. nextcard also sends you reminders before credits expire so you're not scrambling at the last minute or leaving money on the table.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve® has a long list of credits, and staying on top of all of them is how you get the most out of your $795 annual fee. The big action item right now: use your $150 dining credit and $150 StubHub credit before June 30. That's $300 in value that disappears if you don't act.
Beyond those two deadlines, take a few minutes to check in on your Edit credits, DoorDash promos and $300 travel credit. None of those are tied to the semiannual deadline, but they're easy to forget about if you're not paying attention.
How are you planning to use your CSR credits this summer?
The first-half credits for both the $150 Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables dining credit and the $150 StubHub credit expire on June 30. The second-half credits for each become available on July 1 and run through December 31.
No. You just need to purchase the tickets before June 30. The event itself can take place after the deadline and your credit will still apply.
You need to activate the StubHub benefit through your Chase account before it kicks in. If you haven't done that yet, log into your Chase account and activate it so your purchases count toward the credit.
No. The $300 annual travel credit on the Chase Sapphire Reserve resets on your account anniversary date, not the calendar year. Check your Chase app or call the number on the back of your card to confirm when yours resets.
No. The DoorDash credits reset on the 1st of each month. If you don't use your two $10 non-restaurant coupons and one $5 restaurant coupon in a given month, they expire and don't carry over.
