The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card are both compelling travel rewards credit cards. In this Chase Sapphire Preferred vs. Reserve showdown, I’d like to compare the two cards — while they have a lot of similarities, they also have a lot of differences.
Let’s start by talking about what the two cards have in common, then we’ll talk about the differences, and then we’ll talk about how to decide which card is a better fit for you.
For that, the major advantages are the valuable airport lounge access, 4x points on direct airfare and hotel bookings (rather than 2x points on all travel purchases with the Sapphire Preferred), and the ability to potentially redeem points at a higher rate with Points Boost.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
