Chase “Pay Yourself Back” Categories Revealed for Q1 2023
2023 is here and so are the new Pay Yourself Back categories for Chase Sapphire, Ink Business and Freedom credit cards. As it was hinted all along with some of the changes over the last weeks of last year, the program has been devalued.
As a reminder, with “Pay Yourself Back”, you can redeem Ultimate Rewards points to cover eligible purchases made over the last 90 days. You can get up to a 50% bonus when you use your points this way, which means a value of 1.5 cents per point. But now the only category that gets a 50% bonus is Charities for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders. This card would previously get the 50% bonus for the annual fee, groceries, dining etc.
