The Sapphire Reserve is a Visa credit card issued by Chase. It's not a new card network.

  What's the difference then?

    Perks. More points, lounge access, concierge programs, insurance.

    Think of Amex like the iPhone/iOS. Only Apple makes it, they deliver the hardware and the software. Visa/MC are Android. Samsung (Chase), LG (Citi), HTC (BofA) are the hardware makers (card issuers) but they're all delivering the same Android (Visa/MC) I don't have an analogy for Discover...

      > I don't have an analogy for Discover... Maybe Blackberry or Windows Phone? chuckle

        Ha. I'd thought of those, but Discover is actually successful, even if they're niche. :)

        Each whack at launching another Windows phone feels like trying to resurrect Diner's Club.

      Discover is the flip phone in this analogy - people give you a certain look when you use it in public.
