CHASE SAPPHIRE NOW OFFERING 45,000 BONUS POINTS
Chase has recently increased the bonus on their Chase Sapphire Preferred card to now offer the possibility of 45,000 bonus points, 40,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months and 5,000 bonus points for adding another authorized user and making a purchase in the first three months. The first year annual fee is waived ($95 value which I now gladly pay because the benefits are so powerful).
The Chase Sapphire Preferred card is one of my most favorite cards because it’s tied to the Ultimate Rewards Program by Chase. This program is one of the top rewards programs currently offered. The only other lender that has a program that can compete at all is American Express with their Membership Rewards program. I keep my Chase Sapphire card in my wallet at all times and travel with it always. I love the Chase Sapphire Preferred card for foreign travel as it carries”no foreign transactions fees” like many other cards do. The Barclay Arrival World Mastercard also has “no foreign transaction fees” and I’ll be carrying that card with me to Europe next year as well.
