Chase Sapphire Preferred Card Introduces New Perk for Apple Customers

[MacRumors]

Chase this week announced new perks for its Sapphire Preferred credit card, and one of them is a complimentary one-year Apple TV streaming subscription.

To get the free year of Apple TV, which typically costs $12.99 per month in the U.S., you must activate the card by December 31, 2026.

If you are already subscribed to Apple TV directly through Apple, the complimentary subscription from Chase will automatically supersede your paid subscription until it ends, at which point the paid subscription will resume at the going price.

As noted by 9to5Mac, Apple One subscribers can receive a $7.50 discount per month instead.

If you are subscribed to Apple One directly through Apple, and activate your complimentary Apple TV access on Chase.com or the Chase Mobile app with the same Apple Account connected to your Apple One billing, you will automatically receive a $7.50 discount on your Apple One subscription for 12 months starting on your next billing period.

Chase's Sapphire Preferred card continues to have a $95 annual fee. New and existing cardholders have access to these new benefits starting today.

The other new benefits include 3× points on gas, EV charging, and Airbnb and Vrbo bookings, while the card's annual hotel statement credit has been doubled to $100. There is also a new $120 Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS credit every four years, along with new "emergency evacuation and transportation" coverage.

On the other hand, the 10% anniversary bonus benefit is being discontinued, and Ultimate Rewards points will transfer to World of Hyatt at a rate of 4:3.

More details are available in Chase's press release. For a limited time, new cardholders can earn 100,000 points after spending $5,000 in the first three months.

Chase's higher-end Sapphire Reserve credit card offers complimentary Apple TV and Apple Music subscriptions, but it has an annual fee of $795.

Update: Sapphire Reserve cardholders can now get a $15/month discount on Apple One.

Don't think that the Reserve card gives you any discount if you have Apple One.

 

[abrunson]

The Hyatt transfer reduction + the recent Hyatt devaluation really suck ☹️

Actually it does - it will give you a $7.50 discount per each which can be utilized on Apple One subscription with a total of $15 off per billing cycle

Yeah....I'll be cancelling the card next time the AF posts. That said, I wonder if that will immediately cancel my Apple TV+ subscription too or if it will continue on its own? The terms are unclear on that front

 

[legaleye3000]

Does this apply only if you pay your Apple One subscription using the Chase card? All my subscriptions go through my Apple Card, but I did sign up for the Apple TV and Apple Music benefit on Chase. I'm not sure if I'm seeing the $15 credit or not (Reserve card)...

I’m not seeing the deal under the offers section for my Chase Sapphire Preferred CC. Hopefully it will get loaded on there before my next monthly Apple One charge.

 

[elsumptero]

I just activated this - it shows apple one subscription I pay for, then apple tv subscribed through chase "included with your chase plan". I got an email from Apple that says "You have multiple subscriptions to the same service." My understanding is I should get $7.50 off the Apple One sub. I guess we'll see what happens...

 

[Yonizzle]

That just happened to me too. Hopefully they figure it out soon

Same I found it after selecting "Benefits & Travel" tab at bottom of Chase app and then the promotion box was there, not by search though.

Introducing the all new Chase Apple Card, now with Apple One included.

 

[Danbrown521]

Mine says that too🤷🏽

That’s what I got too

FYI if you have the CSR you can take advantage of the credits as cash value too, you get $16 off your Apple One plan.

Does the Apple One subscription need to be paid with the Chase card or is the credit applied even if you use an Apple Card to pay the subscription for Apple One?

I went to activate this offer and now see an individual subscription to Apple Music (cancel via Chase) and Apple One.
Is that what ended up on your end or is this FUBAR?

I'm wondering that too and hesitant to click activate now if it will create issues to cancel in the future. Currently it's easy to see all my Apple subscriptions in one section through account/app store.

Not a fan seeing others mention cancel via Chase wording.

I'm not getting the math. $7.50 a month is not $156 per year. We don't currently have AppleTV, but we have I Sapphire card. I activated and will see what happens.

Depends which Sapphire card you have

Appears Chase is basing it off the $12.99 flat per month pricing which means $13x12=$156 for Sapphire Preferred level without Apple One

Not exactly sure where the $7.50 comes from Sapphire Reserved unless that's the "value" of Apple TV subscription minus other Apple One benefits
*keep in mind Reserved card also carries a hefty $795 annual fee vs Preferred $95 fee

Apple TV

The Apple TV subscription features critically acclaimed Apple Original shows and movies. Watch on the Apple TV app across devices.

I activated. Got the warning email from Apple: "You have multiple subscriptions to the same service."
So I went back into Chase and I was able to cancel the AppleTV service through them.

Going to wait a day or two and see if this Apple One situation gets sorted out. But no issues canceling directly through Chase.

Does the Apple One subscription need to be paid with the Chase card or is the credit applied even if you use an Apple Card to pay the subscription for Apple One?

No, its a credit applied. My monthly Apple One account renews at $29.95 now instead of $37.95. Its still linked to my Apple Card.

If you did it this way, it will appear as a discount on your next renewal. Or, you can cancel your activation with Chase, and cancel AppleOne. Then re-activate with Chase and re-subscribe to Apple One. The discount will take effect immediately. I did it this morning no issues.

See above. There is a Reddit thread on this as well. I followed the steps and it worked perfectly.

Thank you for information! Is there a cancel button through Chase app if I decide to end Apple TV subscription after a year?

I don't mean to keep bringing up the cancel question, but don't want to be stuck disputing charges adding yet another subscription service. As someone mentioned on Reddit feels like they'd like us to forget in a year and then auto-renew.

I imagine Apple will notify you as you approach the expiration date. But you can easily set a reminder and log onto chase and "de-activate" it prior to the 1-year end date.

Neat, I've been eyeing this card to help cover some vacation expenses. The bonus points and ATV for a year seem like a no-brainer.

I just went into the Chase App > Benefits/Rewards > went down to Apply TV and authenticated. Worked totally fine on my end.
