Chase quietly rewrote the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant list on
August 28, 2026, adding 34 outlets and removing 28 others withoutannouncing either change. The roster still runs past 400 locations in more
than 50 U.S. cities.
Exclusive Tables is the platform behind the Sapphire Reserve dining credit.
Cardholders get a $150 statement credit for spending at a listed restaurant
once between January and June and again between July and December, worth $300
a year. The credit applies to both the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Chase
Sapphire Reserve for Business. There is no requirement to book through Chase or
OpenTable to trigger it, so paying with the card at any participating restaurant
is enough.
Three markets lost everything
The removals were not spread evenly. New Mexico, Salt Lake City and Tulsa now
have zero Exclusive Tables restaurants, which leaves cardholders in those markets
with no local way to earn the credit. Los Angeles lost 5 participating locations
and Portland, Oregon lost 3.
A 60 day window for existing reservations
Chase has confirmed a grace period: if a reservation was booked before a
restaurant came off the list, the benefit still works there for 60 days after
the removal. That covers people who planned a meal around the credit before the
August shuffle, but it does nothing for anyone whose entire metro area was cut.
Anyone counting on the second half of the year credit should recheck the current
list before the December 31 deadline, since Chase changes the roster without
notice and does not publish a change log.
