The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) has long been one of our favorite travel rewards cards thanks to its strong earning rates, valuable Ultimate Rewards points and modest $95 annual fee.
Following the Sapphire Preferred's recent refresh, I decided to product change one of my no-annual-fee Chase cards to the Sapphire Preferred. Although I'm not eligible for a welcome bonus (because I previously earned one on a Sapphire Preferred account that has since been closed), the decision was surprisingly easy.
While many premium travel cards require cardholders to keep track of multiple monthly, quarterly and annual credits, the Sapphire Preferred keeps things simple. In fact, the card's annual hotel credit alone can more than offset its $95 annual fee.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
