Summary
I like that they really separated the $550 annual fee Sapphire Reserve from the $95 annual fee Sapphire Preferred. Reserve cardholders get $180 a year in credits while Sapphire holders get just $60.
The partnership has been growing steadily, including the release of the co-branded Instacart Mastercard® Credit Card.
