# Sapphire Preferred Infatuation Credit: The $75 Dining Offer, Its Restaurants, and What Cardholders Get Now

## A one-month dining credit that a lot of people are still searching for

In the fall of 2025, Chase gave Sapphire Preferred cardholders a **$75
statement credit** for spending **$150 or more** at a restaurant picked by
The Infatuation, Chase's restaurant discovery site. It was called **Link &
Dine**, and it ran for one month: **September 16 to October 16, 2025.**

**That offer has ended.** There's no Infatuation credit on the Sapphire
Preferred today, and Chase's June 2026 refresh of the card didn't add a
restaurant credit to replace it.

So why keep a map of the restaurants? Because the list is still a useful
one: **151 restaurants in 11 US metro areas**, hand-picked by The
Infatuation, ranging from $25-a-head pizza to tasting menus. This page
explains how the credit worked, what the restaurant list looks like,
and which dining benefits Sapphire cardholders can actually use right now.

## How the Link & Dine credit worked

The terms, as published by Chase and reported by Frequent Miler, The
Points Guy and AwardWallet at the time:

| Detail               | Terms                                                             |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Who qualified        | Chase Sapphire Preferred **primary** cardmembers                  |
| Credit               | One-time **$75** statement credit                                 |
| Spend required       | A **single** purchase of **$150 or more**                         |
| Where                | Participating Infatuation Link & Dine restaurants in 11 cities    |
| When                 | Transactions dated **September 16 to October 16, 2025**           |
| Setup                | Link your Chase account to an Infatuation account **before** dining |
| Excluded             | Delivery, takeout, gift cards, merchandise, digital wallet or third-party payments, mobile card readers |
| Posting              | **6 to 8 weeks** after the promotion ended                        |

A few details tripped people up:

- **Linking came first.** You had to create or sign in to an Infatuation
  account and connect your Chase card there before the meal. The
  participating restaurants then appeared in your Infatuation account.
- **One check, not a total.** The $150 had to be a single charge. Two
  $80 dinners didn't qualify.
- **It took a while to post.** Because the credit arrived 6 to 8 weeks
  after the promotion closed, most cardholders reported seeing it in late
  November 2025.
- **Product changes forfeited it.** Switching your Sapphire Preferred to
  another Chase card during the promotion voided the offer.

Chase's terms noted that previous participants could earn the credit again
"in a new promotional period", which left the door open to a repeat. As
of October 2026, Chase hasn't announced one.

## How to use the restaurant map

The [Infatuation credit map](/tools/sapphire-tools/infatuation-credit) is
free and needs no account.

1. **Search by restaurant, city, cuisine, neighborhood or address.**
   Type "Houston", "sushi" or "West Loop" in the search box.

2. **Switch between Map View and Search View.** The map clusters
   restaurants by area and lets you zoom into a neighborhood. Search View
   shows the same restaurants as cards, 12 per page.

3. **Open a restaurant for details.** Each card shows the cuisine,
   neighborhood and an estimated price per person. The detail view adds
   photos, rating, hours, dress code, parking, private dining notes and
   links to the restaurant's website, its OpenTable page and Google Maps.

> **Note:** The tool shows a banner confirming that the Infatuation credit
> expired on October 16, 2025. The list is kept as a reference to the
> restaurants that took part. Spending at them today does not trigger a
> statement credit.

## What the restaurant list shows

### 11 metro areas, about 15 restaurants each

Chase announced the promotion with 165 restaurants in 11 cities. The map
now has 151 of them. A few from the announcement were never in the data,
and six that have since closed for good (Paya, Mai Sushi Tapas and Tropezón
in Miami, 84 Yesler in Seattle, Blue Tuba in Houston and Cellar Hand in San
Diego) were removed in October 2026. Suburbs are grouped with their metro
area below (Bellevue and Kirkland with Seattle, La Jolla, Carlsbad and
Oceanside with San Diego, and Addison, Farmers Branch and Richardson with
Dallas).

| Metro area      | Restaurants | Median price per person | $75+ per person |
| --------------- | ----------- | ----------------------- | --------------- |
| Los Angeles     | 15          | $60                     | 4               |
| San Francisco   | 15          | $70                     | 6               |
| Dallas          | 15          | $50                     | 3               |
| New York City   | 14          | $78.50                  | 9               |
| Chicago         | 14          | $60                     | 6               |
| Seattle         | 14          | $65                     | 4               |
| Boston          | 14          | $57.50                  | 0               |
| San Diego       | 14          | $62.50                  | 6               |
| Houston         | 14          | $65                     | 6               |
| Washington, DC  | 12          | $60                     | 1               |
| Miami           | 10          | $60                     | 3               |

Price estimates come from the restaurant data and include an entrée, tax
and a 20% tip.

### A $150 check took two people at most of these restaurants

The median estimate across all 151 restaurants is **$60 per person**. Only
**5** are estimated at $150 or more per person, so at most places on the
list, reaching the $150 minimum meant dinner for two (or a generous
dinner for one). **55** restaurants are estimated at $50 or less per
person.

The most expensive on the list are Addison in San Diego (about $350 per
person), Omakase in San Francisco (about $265) and Sushi Kaito in New York,
Prime 112 in Miami and Matsu in Oceanside (about $150 each).

### Mostly American, Italian and Japanese

Across 38 primary cuisines, the most common are **American (23)**,
**Italian (23)**, **Japanese and sushi (16)** and **French (13)**, followed
by steakhouses (7) and Chinese, pizza and seafood (6 each). Uchi is the
only name that appears in three cities: Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles
(its Miami location is listed as Uchi Miami, making four).

### Well-reviewed picks

Ratings are available for 149 restaurants, averaging **4.72 out of 5**,
with **65** rated 4.8 or higher.

## Overlap with Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables

Sapphire Reserve cardholders have a different, ongoing dining benefit: up
to **$300 a year** at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants on
OpenTable, split into $150 for January to June and $150 for July to
December.

**20 of the 151 Infatuation restaurants are also on the Exclusive Tables
list**, including Bavel, Republique and Antico Nuovo in Los Angeles, State
Bird Provisions and House of Prime Rib in San Francisco, Elske and Obelix
in Chicago, Sushi Kashiba and The Pink Door in Seattle, and Old Ebbitt
Grill and Centrolina in Washington, DC.

If you hold the Sapphire Reserve, the
[Exclusive Tables map](/tools/sapphire-tools/exclusive-tables) shows
every participating restaurant and which ones sell gift cards online.

## What Sapphire Preferred cardholders get for dining now

Chase refreshed the Sapphire Preferred on June 15, 2026, keeping the $95
annual fee. For dining, the card now offers:

- **3x points on dining** worldwide, including takeout and eligible
  delivery services.
- **Complimentary DashPass**, plus up to **$10 off per month** on
  groceries and daily essentials ordered through DoorDash.

There's no restaurant statement credit. The biggest fixed credit on the
card is now a **$100 Chase Travel hotel credit** each account anniversary
year (up from $50), for prepaid hotel stays booked through Chase Travel.
The same refresh ended the 10% anniversary points bonus and changed
Hyatt transfers to 4:3 instead of 1:1, effective immediately for new
applicants and on October 1, 2026 for existing cardmembers.

At 3x, a $150 dinner on the Sapphire Preferred earns 450 Ultimate Rewards
points. At AwardHack's 2.00¢ valuation for Chase points, that's about
**$9** in value. You can check what your whole balance is worth in the
[Points Valuator](/tools/pointsvalue).

## Other dining credits worth tracking

If you're looking for a restaurant credit you can still use, these are
the ongoing ones AwardHack maps:

- **Chase Sapphire Reserve:** up to $300 a year at Exclusive Tables
  restaurants. Use the
  [Exclusive Tables map](/tools/sapphire-tools/exclusive-tables).
- **Amex cards with a Resy credit:** the Platinum, Gold and Delta SkyMiles
  Platinum and Reserve cards include Resy dining credits that reset
  quarterly, twice a year or monthly, depending on the card. Use the
  [Resy Credit Finder](/tools/amex-tools/resy-giftcard-map).

Credits like these are easy to forget, especially the ones that reset
every six months or every quarter. The
[Benefits Tracker](/trackers/benefits-tracker) keeps the recurring credits
on all your cards in one place.

## What this map doesn't do

- **It doesn't activate or track a credit.** The Link & Dine offer has
  ended, and the map was never connected to your Chase or Infatuation
  account.
- **It doesn't guarantee a restaurant is still open.** The list reflects
  the fall 2025 promotion. Restaurants confirmed closed are removed, but
  check the restaurant's website before you go.
- **It doesn't include all 165 announced restaurants.** A handful from
  the original announcement aren't in the data.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Chase Sapphire Preferred Infatuation credit still available?

No. The $75 Link & Dine credit was a one-month promotion for transactions
between September 16 and October 16, 2025. As of October 2026, Chase
hasn't announced a new round, and the Sapphire Preferred has no
restaurant statement credit.

### How did the Sapphire Preferred $75 dining credit work?

Primary cardmembers linked their Chase account to an Infatuation account,
then made a single purchase of $150 or more at a participating restaurant
between September 16 and October 16, 2025. Chase posted a one-time $75
statement credit 6 to 8 weeks after the promotion ended.

### Which restaurants were part of Infatuation Link & Dine?

Chase announced 165 restaurants in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los
Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and
Washington, DC. The map on this page lists 151 of them that are still
open, with addresses, cuisines and price estimates.

### Did delivery, takeout or gift cards count?

No. The terms excluded delivery, takeout, gift cards and merchandise, as
well as purchases made through digital wallets, third-party payment
services or mobile card readers that Chase couldn't identify as made
directly with the restaurant.

### Could I combine two bills to reach $150?

No. The credit required a single qualifying purchase of $150 or more.

### Does the Sapphire Preferred have a dining credit in 2026?

No. After the June 2026 refresh, the Sapphire Preferred earns 3x points on
dining and includes DashPass with up to $10 a month off DoorDash grocery
and essentials orders, but it has no restaurant statement credit.

### Is the Infatuation credit the same as the Sapphire Reserve dining credit?

No. The Sapphire Reserve's up to $300 a year dining credit is an ongoing
card benefit at Exclusive Tables restaurants on OpenTable. The
Infatuation credit was a one-time $75 promotion for Sapphire Preferred
cardholders. 20 restaurants appear on both lists.

---

## The bottom line

The Sapphire Preferred Infatuation credit was a good one-month deal, and
it's over. The restaurant list lives on as a solid shortlist of
Infatuation picks in 11 cities. If you want a dining credit you can use
today, the Sapphire Reserve's Exclusive Tables credit and the Amex Resy
credits are where to look, and the Benefits Tracker will make sure you
don't let them expire.
