No, Chase Sapphire Reserve doesn’t offer price protection. This benefit was discontinued in 2018 and there’s no guarantee they will ever reinstate the benefit.
When it was offered, it reimbursed cardholders the difference between the price of a purchased item and a lower advertised price on the same item within the next 90 days. It provided coverage up to $500 per item and $2,500 per year.
In short, if you find something you bought for a lower price within 90 days, they'll give you the difference. Keep in mind, it has to be the exact same product, and obviously not every item is covered.

Here’s how Mastercard price protection works:
Mastercard price protection reimburses you for the difference between the price you paid for an item and a lower price you find afterward.
You’re covered up to $250 per claim, and you can make a claim four times in a 12-month period.
Mastercard price protection gives you 60 days to make a claim after buying something.
World and World Elite Mastercard are the only levels that offer price protection and give you 120 days to file a claim.
You must have a receipt and a print or digital advertisement with a date, the retailer name, and the sales price as proof.
Purchases that aren’t covered by Mastercard price protection include jewelry, art, antiques, pre-owned items, custom-made items, plants, animals, items bought at auctions, and more. Read your benefits guide for the full details.
You can file a claim either online or by calling (800) 627-8372. Make sure to request a claim form within 60 - 120 days of making your purchase (depending on the card). Submit the form and any other requested documentation within 180 days of when the advertisement for a lower price was posted.
After you buy something with your card, always keep an eye out for lower prices. You could save yourself up to $1,000 total per year with Mastercard credit card price protection.

In case Discover price protection ever comes back, you should know a few more things. Certain items were ineligible, like services, gift cards, jewelry, used items and more. And some sales didn’t count, like going out of business sales, low prices from employee discounts and more.
Discover also got rid of some other benefits. They axed travel insurance, rental car insurance, purchase protection, extended warranties and return protection. But that doesn’t mean Discover cards are bad now. They still offer excellent rewards and low fees.
