I have a special connection with my Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees).
It was my first travel rewards card, and I proudly used its rewards to make my first-ever transferable points redemption in 2023 — booking a comfortable Hyatt House in Atlanta by transferring my Ultimate Rewards points to World of Hyatt. From there, I was hooked.
The Sapphire Preferred's premium sibling, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees), has been on my radar since Chase eased eligibility requirements to carry both Sapphire cards at the same time. The card's beloved flexible travel credit and luxurious airport lounge access have especially caught my eye.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
