Chase unveils Sapphire Reserve dining perks with exclusive restaurant reservations

"One plus one equals more than two," Stang remarked, reflecting on the partnership with The Infatuation. "The Infatuation had a really important role in helping us curate from a list of restaurants within OpenTable, which we said, 'We think these are the ones that can be difficult to get into, but more importantly that our customers care about or we're certain that they'll want to try.'"

Though similar programs are already offered by competitors like American Express and Capital One, Chase believes their program will successfully attract cardholders looking for unique dining experiences. Stang commented on Chase's ambitions in dining and lounges, saying, "Some of the most successful businesses and ventures in the world aren't necessarily the first ones."

The Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables program is part of a broader strategy by Chase to enhance its credit card benefits, competing with other major issuers in providing premium experiences for their cardholders.
