As someone who has spent the last decade chasing national parks, mountain towns and off-the-beaten-path destinations, I've learned that hotels aren't always the best fit for the way I travel. As a result, I've booked more than 60 Airbnbs over the past 11 years.
Typically, I've put all of my Airbnb spending on a catch-all card (more on that below). But with Chase recently updating the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) to earn 3 points per dollar spent on eligible vacation home rentals, including Airbnb bookings, I'm changing my strategy.
Here's why the Sapphire Preferred is now my go-to card for Airbnb stays — and why it might deserve a spot in your wallet, too.
