Yes, you do get bonus points for Chase Sapphire Reserve gas purchases. More specifically, gas purchases count towards the card’s spending requirement for the 50,000 points points bonus.
Aside from the initial bonus, gas purchases don’t qualify for bonus points, unfortunately, because they aren’t part of the travel or dining category. Gas is an everyday purchase, according to Chase. So, you’ll earn just the standard 1 point / $1 spent on gas purchases. More specifically, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card offers a total of 10 points per $1 spent on hotels and car rentals booked through Chase, a total of 10 points per $1 spent on prepaid restaurant reservations or takeout orders made through Chase, a total of 5 points per $1 spent on flights purchased through Chase, 3 points per $1 spent on all other travel and dining purchases, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
Here’s what Chase Sapphire Reserve gas purchases get you:
- Initial spending bonus: You get 50,000 points for spending $4,000 (gas purchases included) in the first 3 months from account opening.
- 1 point / $1: Gas purchases, along with any purchase outside the travel or dining categories will earn you 1 point / $1.
If gas purchases are very common for you, it might be a good idea to get a gas-oriented credit card. The best among them offer 3% to 5% in savings on gas purchases and some of them charge $0 annual fees, too.
