Card Highlights

Chase Sapphire Preferred is a Credit Card

With a credit card, you can carry a balance and accrue interest if necessary.  Note this is not advised by me. The points game does not work well, if you are carrying a balance and accruing interest.  See #4 in Let’s Get Started To Earning Free Travel.

Card Rewards

Earn Ultimate Rewards with the card.  Learn about the Chase Ultimate Rewards Program here.

Sign-up Bonus

Before you apply, make sure your ability to get the sign-up bonus is not limited by Chase restrictions on an additional sign-up bonus or the Chase 5/24 rule.  Also be mindful of the unwritten 30 day application rule.
