One of our favorite travel cards here at TPG, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees), is offering new cardholders a can't-miss bonus. New cardholders can earn 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
TPG's July 2026 valuations place this offer at $2,050, which is stellar value given the Sapphire Preferred's modest $95 annual fee.
Unfortunately, some applicants may encounter a disappointing pop-up message when they choose the Sapphire Preferred: You may be eligible to add the card, but you won't receive that sweet bonus.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
