The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card has just undergone a major refresh, and the changes are a mixed bag, with some people better off, and some worse off. It’s still one of my top recommendations for beginners and people who value Chase Ultimate Rewards points, and don’t mind the recent Hyatt devaluation (or are willing to pair this card with one that makes the devaluation immaterial).
Also keep in mind that thanks to some updates to welcome bonus eligibility requirements, some people may not even realize that they’re now eligible for the bonus, even though they weren’t in the past.
This is a very strong offer, in line with the best offers we’ve ever seen on the card. As a point of comparison, previously the card had a welcome offer of 75,000 points upon completing minimum spending, so this is much better.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
