Is the Chase Sapphire Reserve annual fee worth it?

$795 a year · 14 trackable credits · about $3,163 in value

On paper, yes. $3,163 in credits against a $795 fee. But that only holds if you actually use them — and you only need the top 2 to break even, so the honest question isn't whether the math works. It's whether those 2 fit your life.

Below is every statement credit and perk on the Chase Sapphire Reserve that can actually be tracked, biggest first, with a link to the Chase page each figure came from.
