As card issuers are bringing more and more temporary benefits to their credit card products during this pandemic, we have decided to write a featured review "Temporary Credit Card Benefits During the COVID-19 Pandemic" and will update it as there is new information available.

© 2011-2020 DrCreditCard.net All rights reserved. Chase Sapphire Reserve has been our favorite credit card not only for quite a few years, but also during this pandemic, as covered in the previous post. Now, more benefits are coming to this card between 7/1/2020 and 9/30/2020:
Chase Sapphire Preferred also receives similar but a little less lucrative benefits between 7/1/2020 and 9/30/2020:
As we are concerned about the recent spikes of COVID-19 cases here in the U.S. and saddened by the continuing loss of life, we have to give credits to Chase for these impressive relief measures. Citi offers 3x points on groceries & dining ahead of the scheduled August revamp of Citi Premier6/7/2020 Just like many other credit cards that receive COVID-19 related temporary benefits, now Citi Premier also receives something pretty good: starting June 2, 2020, you will earn 3x points on groceries (increased from 1x) and dining (increased from 2x); however, the difference here is that this benefit is considered permanent rather than temporary. Back in April, Citi announced the revamp of Citi Premier which would kick in as of August 23, 2020 and include 3x points on groceries and dining; obviously after seeing competitors ramping up the temporary COVID-19 relief, Citi has decided to move the implementation date of this benefit a couple of months earlier. However, the whole revamp situation is kind of complicated, and here we would like to break it down for you.
As covered in a previous post, we praised Chase Sapphire Reserve for offering powerful temporary COVID-19 related benefits such as reduced annual fees, 5x points on groceries, enhanced flexibility for $300 annual travel credit, and enhanced flexibility in points redemption. Now Citi and US Bank are following Chase to offer some great temporary benefits for Sapphire Reserve's two major competitors.
With the unfortunate recent devaluation of United miles, we have to adjust our ranking. Chase United Club Visa is now replaced with Amex Green Card as the #10 Best Credit Card by Dr. Credit Card. We don't want to cover the details of the devaluation - you might visit travel blogs such as onemileatatime for details. In a nutshell, United has decided to align its Star Alliance partner redemption rates with those of its own metals, and as a result, our valuation of United miles is adjusted from 1.4 cents per mile (cpm) to 1.3 cpm. Below is a comparison of our Top 10 list before and after this change.
Chase further improves COVID-19 related benefits for Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Preferred5/29/2020 As detailed in the previous post, several card issuers have temporary COVID-19 related benefits for select credit cards. Now Chase pushes this further on the popular Sapphire Reserve Card and Sapphire Preferred Card.
Obviously, Sapphire Reserve is a very powerful card during this special time, as no other card has offered 5x points on groceries temporarily or offered 1.5 cent/point temporary redemption option for groceries & dining & home improvement. Of course the added flexibility of the annual $300 travel credit and temporary reduced annual fees all add to the value of the card. Personally, I was on the fence whether to keep this card upon my renewal in the coming October due to the increased annual fee and greatly reduced spending on travel & dining, and now it is clear that I will keep this card, at least for another year. COVID-19 pandemic has obviously changed consumer behavior big time, and it makes sense that credit card issuers are making adjustments accordingly. This post summarizes these adjustments from Amex, Chase, and Citi.
