The Chase Sapphire Preferred^® Card fits the bill for many travelers. With powerful rewards, a flexible range of redemption opportunities, and a modest $95 annual fee, it’s no wonder this popular travel card remains a mainstay in many wallets.

Plus, new applicants can earn a welcome bonus offer, making the Chase Sapphire Preferred card that much more compelling. Let’s look at the card’s previous welcome bonus offers in recent years, as well as the current welcome bonus offer.

When To Apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred card is one of several cards that participate in the Chase Ultimate Rewards program, in which there are many ways to redeem your points for travel. With the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, points are worth up to 1.75 cents apiece when booking a Points Boost offer through Chase Travel.

Alternatively, cardholders can transfer their points to 10 airline and 3 hotel partners at a straightforward 1:1 ratio. The value will vary greatly, but the team at Upgraded Points loves to redeem Ultimate Rewards points for business class flights and luxury hotels for a fraction of the true cash cost.

That’s why we value Chase points around 2 cents apiece, though you can often get a much higher value with strategic redemptions.
