The subject says it all… saw a comment on one of the front page articles about Chase offering 50% points bonus in their Apple Store and lo and behold the latest iPads are in it! If you pay completely with points it’s like getting 25% off the MSRP on the latest iPads! You can’t beat that deal! This should be in the front page! Only bad thing is the shipping times on the yet to be released iPads is currently showing 2-3 weeks, but I’m guessing that will probably fall down!

That’s like paying $641.28 (usually $961 with tax) for a loaded 2022 iPad Air 256GB Cellular M1! 🔥

In your !enthusiasm! for what sounds like a good offer, you may have missed some important details. That offer is only for the Chase Sapphire Reserve and J.P. Morgan Reserve account holders. The Sapphire card is the one with the $550 annual fee.

The other cards offer much less than 50% (see below). The iPad Air 256 Cellular config you mentioned would require 81,727 points.

Ya, definitely didn’t realize it was different depending on the card. Guess everyone knows which one I have now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That said, the annual fee is easily reduced to less than $200, so if you qualify for the card it’s definitely worth it.
