The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) is one of the most popular travel rewards cards out there — and for good reason.
With generous earning rates on dining, vacation homes, gas and electric vehicle charging, and travel, plus several other well-known benefits, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is a favorite among points and miles beginners and experts alike.
Adding even more value to the card, the Sapphire Preferred is currently offering a welcome offer of 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points, earned after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening — all for a modest $95 annual fee. According to TPG's June 2026 valuations, this offer is worth a whopping $2,050.
