We have been waiting ages and ages to see what these new bad boys would look like in the USA ( There is one open in Hong Kong) and finally we have some images. WOW. I have to say they hit it out of the park with the first one at Boston Logan that is a benefit of the Chase Sapphire Reserve
What’s better than images? This beauty is opening up next week on May 16th! It’s an 11,640 square foot lounge with two dual-head shower rooms with Apotheke products and a ton more. Let’s check it out!

Overall
Stunning. Chase has plans to roll out more and more of these styled lounges over the next couple years. I wonder how crowded this lounge will get…I’d position to Boston Logan just to experience this lounge, and certainly if I lived in Boston and flew regularly it may put me over the edge when making a decision on pick up a CSR or CSP, etc.
Can’t wait to go and try it out myself!

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
