Why We Like This Card
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is a great option for individuals new to the points space. With a reasonable annual fee and sign-up bonus, this card will be your ticket to your next travel adventures. These points can be redeemed for travel through either Chase Travel℠ or transferring them to Chase’s 14 airline & hotel partners.
With no foreign transaction fees and solid travel insurance, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is a fantastic first step into the world of travel rewards. If your account is in good standing after your first year, the Chase Sapphire Preferred can also be downgraded without impacting your credit score.
