Chase Sapphire Reserve Travel Credit Question

[shanac]

I thought info on this had been posted but I'm having difficulty finding the thread. I've had my CSR since February 2017 (100K bonus points--yay!). I used my $300 travel credit and see that my next round of travel credit begins December 18, 2017. $600 in one year is awe-mazing!

My question is, will my next round of travel credit be in February 2019?

What date do I need to use my December 2017 travel credit by? Before closing date of Dec. 2018?

I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, by the closing of the next December statement. Check your terms if you still have the document!

You got the Chase Sapphire Reserve before they changed the travel credit from calendar year to card year.  That means your calendar year periods run from December 18th to Dec 17th of the following year.  Your first year was only ten months long because you got the card in February.  Those who got the CSR after May get a new travel credit each card year.

It's also printed right below your current travel credit status.

That's exactly what mine says. I guess I was just confused about it regarding the next round and my February join date.

Your join date determines the date on which your annual fee becomes due, but because you joined when you did, your travel credit is based on a calendar year.  For those who joined more recently, the join date governs both annual fee and travel credit.
