This has to be one of the most expensive ways to pick up some credit-card points.
Chase JPM, -0.40% announced Monday it is offering 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to its customers who have Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve credit cards — if they open a mortgage with Chase. The offer will be available through August 6 to customers who had any Chase Sapphire card as of May 7.
Chase’s credit cards have been popular in recent months, particularly the Sapphire Reserve card, which debuted in 2016 and initially offered a 100,000-point sign-up bonus, which was later reduced to 50,000 points.
