The Time to Start in the Points Game is NOW!
Have you been thinking about starting in the points game and dreaming about free travel or flying business class? NOW is the time to make those dreams reality!
The Chase Sapphire Preferred card is by FAR the best card to start in points and miles. Grab the current 100,000 point sign-up bonus (the SUB), the highest they’ve offered, which is ending “soon”.
Read on to learn why we, and most every other Points/Miles site, like this card so much. The Chase Sapphire Preferred® (CSP for short) has a multitude of advantages, we’re just listing our Top Ten.
Top Ten Reasons To Start The Points Game Now and Get The CSP
- 100,000 Point Sign-Up Bonus (SUB) – It would take $100,000 of spend to earn this if your card gets 1 point/dollar. Spend $5000 on the card in the first three months to earn the SUB. Only get the card if you have that level of spend.
- Transferable Points – Chase Ultimate Rewards® points transfer to numerous airlines and several hotels, which gives you the best value. Travel Award Search has been able to get 4c/point in value frequently and sometimes more! AND points never expire!
- $95 Annual Fee – low for a card packed with benefits
- $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit – Bam! You’ve already recovered the annual fee! Just book a single hotel night of over $100 on the Chase Travel site.
- Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance – Up to $10,000 per person/$20,000 per trip of trip cancellation/interruption insurance. This covers trip costs charged to the card if your trip is impacted by your or a family member’s illness, along with several other covered reasons. Save BIG $$$ versus buying travel insurance. See the card Guide to Benefits for details.
- Rental Car Insurance – PRIMARY coverage when you decline the rental company insurance and charge the cost to the card. Again, BIG savings versus rental company insurance.
- Emergency Evacuation Insurance – CSP covers up to $100,000 of emergency evacuation transportation costs. This is a new benefit. Note, it does not cover medical costs.
- Extended Warranty Protection – Adds a year to warranties of 3 years or less on items purchased with the CSP card.
- TSA Precheck/Global Entry/Nexus Fee Credit – Up to $120 credit every 4 years. Just charge the fee on the card and it will be credited back. BAM! Earned the fee back again.
- DashPass Membership/Door Dash Monthly Credit – 12 month DashPass membership with a $10 monthly non-restaurant Door Dash credit.
