Many of you ask me when the Chase Sapphire Preferred® card will have a special, elevated sign-up bonus points offer.
I’m happy to share that the answer is TODAY! Earn 75,000 points when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. Learn more about the special sign-up bonus here.
Here's why it's my most-recommended beginner travel card...and, one that I've kept in my own wallet for over a decade:
Generous sign-up bonus and points earning categories
Limited-time Offer Sign-up Bonus: Spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months to earn 75,000 points (this an elevated, limited-time offer bonus!)
3x points on every $1 spent on dining, select streaming services and online groceries, 2x points on every $1 spent on travel
Comprehensive travel insurance coverage
An unsung hero in the travel space! It has saved me thousands over the years because I didn't have to pay extra for travel insurance
No foreign transaction fees: A game-changer for international travel
Ability to transfer points to great airline and hotel loyalty programs
My personal favorite way to use my Chase points? Transferring my points out to Hyatt for luxury hotel stays. Here are all their travel partners:
Airlines: Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air France/KLM Flying Blue, British Airways, Emirates, Iberia, JetBlue, Singapore Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic
Hotels: Marriott Bonvoy, World of Hyatt, IHG Rewards Club

Already have this card? You might be surprised to learn that if 48 months have passed since receiving your last Sapphire bonus, this bonus is available to you! You'll just need to downgrade your current card to a $0 annual fee option first (like the Chase Freedom Unlimited). Wait 1-2 weeks, then apply for a new Sapphire.
Want the Chase Sapphire Reserve® instead? It also has a special sign-up bonus available now! It's the same: earn 75,000 points when you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. The annual fee is higher at $550, but comes with bonus perks like airport lounge access and travel credits. You can learn more about the Reserve here.
We don't know when this limited-time special offer will expire, so move fast if you want to take advantage of it!
