The starting credit limit for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card is at least $10,000. But particularly creditworthy applicants could get limits a lot higher than that. The higher an applicant’s credit score and income are, the higher the starting credit limit is likely to be.
Here’s how to get a good Chase Sapphire Reserve credit limit:
- Improve your credit score. You need excellent credit (a credit score of at least 750) to get approved for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. So, the higher your score, the better your chances of getting a high limit.
- Raise your income. Your income is a huge factor in how high your credit limit is. Generally, applicants need to demonstrate that they can pay their balance and afford the card’s $550 annual fee. So, you have a better chance of getting a high credit limit if you have high income and low debt.
- Request a credit limit increase. You may call (800) 432-3117 to ask for a Chase Sapphire Reserve credit limit increase if you’ve made at least six consecutive on-time payments. If you ask for an increase, Chase will do a hard pull of your credit to check your eligibility. This inquiry may temporarily hurt your score.
Overall, a $10,000 minimum Chase Sapphire Reserve credit limit isn’t bad at all. It’s more than you’re guaranteed on most credit cards. Plus, if you meet more than the minimum approval requirements, your Chase Sapphire Reserve credit limit could be even higher.

As far as I’ve heard, it can go really high. Up to $500K, in theory at least. But at that level, you obviously need to have stellar credit, a huge income, own a bunch of assets, and of course have a banking history with Chase. Your spending pattern is also very important. I guess if you’re already a client and they see how much you spend they can adjust your limit.

Nobody really knows that. My Preferred's got $7,500, but I know Reserve has much higher limits.

10K to 25K usually. That's the initial limit.
