Why Consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred

The Chase Sapphire Preferred from Chase offers a 75,000 points sign-up bonus worth approximately $750. You need to spend $5,000 in 3 months, which requires planning but is achievable with regular expenses.

Beyond the sign-up bonus, the card earns 5x Chase Travel purchases, 3x dining, selected streaming and online grocery (exclusions apply), 3x gas stations, EV charging and vacation homes at eligible brands, 2x other travel on top of 1x on other purchases. Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to airline and hotel partners for outsized value, or redeemed at 1.25-1.5x through the Chase travel portal with a Sapphire card.

The $95 annual fee is reasonable given the bonus value and ongoing rewards. The card requires good credit (670+).
