This is in addition to existing charities International Medical Corp (IMC) and United Way World Central Kitchen (WCK), which are also aiding efforts in Ukraine.

- Sapphire Preferred
- Points are worth 25% more when redeemed for statement credits after using your card at Airbnb and select charitable organizations.
- Freedom, Freedom Flex and Freedom Unlimited

All good news. I was wondering when/if Chase would extend that Lyft partnership for bonus points on ride.
As far as Pay Yourself back, for those that like to use their points this way the dining category is always a top choice, so that is solid, and it’s interesting to see paying your Chase Sapphire Reserve annual fee with Pay Yourself Back. I suppose if you would pay anything back, why not the annual fee?
