In the depths of the pandemic we saw a 100,000 point offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card. We hadn’t seen a publicly available one before or since, and I don’t see any reason why we would.
When the Chase Sapphire Reserve® was first introduced eight years ago, there was also a 100,000 point offer for that card. It proved too costly for Chase and never came back.
However it’s exciting so see amped up offers for both cards now, so if you’re eligible they’re a great way to boost your Ultimate Rewards points balance – either to transfer the points to frequent travel programs (airlines, hotels) or to redeem directly for travel through Chase’s portal.
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card has an offer to earn 75,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That’s over $900 when you redeem through Chase TravelSM.
The card earns 3x on dining, select streaming services and online groceries and 2x on all other travel purchases.
Noteworthy are the protections that come with this card. You can count on Trip Cancellation/Interruption Insurance, Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver, Lost Luggage Insurance and more. And you can get complimentary access to DashPass which unlocks $0 delivery fees and lower service fees for a minimum of one year when you activate by December 31, 2024.
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® has an offer to earn 75,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That’s $1,125 toward travel when you redeem through Chase TravelSM.
This $550 annual fee card comes with a $300 Annual Travel Credit as reimbursement for travel purchases charged to your card each account anniversary year. The card will earn 3x points on travel and dining. And the travel protections game here is strong. For instance, as with Sapphire Preferred, rental car collision damage waiver is primary.
The card comes with easy, one-time enrollment for a Priority Pass Select with unlimited visits (including for up to 2 guests) subject only to capacity at 1300+ lounges around the world.
Current transfer partners include:
- Airlines: United MileagePlus, British Airways Executive Club, Air France KLM Flying Blue, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer, Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, Iberia Plus, Aer Lingus AerClub, Emirates Skywards, Air Canada Aeroplan
- Hotels: World of Hyatt, Marriott Bonvoy, IHG One Rewards
Singapore Airlines A380 Suites
Park Hyatt Hadahaa, Maldives
Now, if you’re eligible for a small business card the strongest Ultimate Rewards card initial bonus offer is Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card with 100,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
That card earns 3 points per $1 on the first $150,000 spent on travel and select business categories each account anniversary year. Earn 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
I’ve been a satisfied Chase Ultimate Rewards customer for 13 years and have a seven figure points balance in the program. If you’re not already earning here it seems to make sense to do so while there are elevated offers for these cards.
