On-screen text
Nothing on this earth will convince me the Chase
Sapphire Reserve card is not worth it. I am in the Boston
lounge at 3pm. I am on my third
spicy margarita. Not because I
needed a drink. Just because it
was there and I could. I have
spent $0 on drinks today. The
annual fee paid for itself before
happy hour could even start.
