The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) was one of the first rewards cards I ever got, and it remains a staple in my wallet. For years, I've used it to earn valuable transferable points on travel, dining and groceries.
If you just got your Chase Sapphire Preferred, there are a few things I'd do immediately. Some take less than a minute, and together they'll help you earn more points, activate valuable benefits and avoid forgetting perks you'll wish you'd used later.
First, it earns 3 points per dollar spent on vacation homes at these top brands: Airbnb, Vrbo, Plum Guide, HomeAway, Homestay.com and Vacasa. TPG credit cards writer Stephanie Stevens has stayed in over 60 Airbnbs, so this earning rate makes the Sapphire Preferred one of her go-to travel cards.
