You can earn up to $1,250 in Chase Sapphire Preferred's limited-time 100k bonus

My favorite Travel credit card It's back again, earning an enhanced welcome bonus of 40,000 points, but you have to spend more.

You can earn 100,000 Chase Ultimate Reward Points after spending $5,000 in the first three months of opening Chase SapphirePreferred® Card*. Typically, the card offers a welcome bonus of 60,000 points when it costs $4,000 in the first three months. However, the extra $1,000 spend makes the extra bonus worth it, saving you even more money when you book flights and hotels with Chase.

History tells us that Boosted Chase welcome bonus only lasts a few months, so if you've been following this card, I don't recommend you wait. If you are curious about the rewards for quotes, this is my spending and tips to help you maximize your travel benefits this year.

How I'm going through Chatun Sapphire Priority Welcome Bonus

CSP is my favorite low annual fee travel card. In addition to popular bonuses, I like the travel allowances for this card, such as cancellation of travel and interruption insurance. I've had a card for about two years and it saved me a lot of money for flights and hotels, especially when I get a welcome bonus.

I'll pursue new ones Welcome bonus I myself, but I heard about Chase's 48-month rule. If you have received a welcome bonus on your Chase Sapphire card over the past four years, you won't be able to get a new bonus.

Chase points are usually 1% per point, but if you redeem them in the Chase Travel Portal, you get more value, where points grow at 1.25 cents. That would make these 100,000 bonus points worth $1,250.

Put down my hand and I will use these indexes to fly. Suppose I want to book Round trip economic ticket For my family of four from Charlotte, North Carolina to New York City (June 4-June 8). If I book through Chase Travel Portal, it costs about $1,016. So I have enough points to pay for my entire family’s ticket.

You can also book hotels, cars and cruises at increased reward prices.

Be sure to look for deals and other redemption options before booking through Chase Travel Portal. Chase has Airline and hotel partners If you transfer points, you can provide a higher redemption rate. You can get the most revenue by transferring partners, but you can still get extra redemption value when booking on Chase's portal.

Other ways to redeem a credit card offer

If you don't have an upcoming trip, there are other redemption options, but the value is lower. For example, you can redeemed a $1,000 declaration credit limit for each point to reduce your credit card balance.

Chase also has a “reward” plan that allows you to use rewards at a rate of 1.25% per point from a declared credit purchased from selected categories. However, this offer is only available for select charities.

Bottom line

If you are considering the preferred Chase Sapphire, first check out the other features of the card. Welcome bonuses are usually a one-time deal, so you need to make sure that the card is worth more than the bonus reward and that your regular spending offsets the $95 annual fee.

Most importantly, don't accumulate debts that try to earn credit card rewards. The average credit card rate is over 20%, so any value you get from the reward will be eliminated by the interest you incurred, leaving you in debt.

CSP is a travel choice for Evan Zimmer, CNET credit card editor, but if you would rather have a card that can help you get more of your day-to-day spending, American Express’s Blue CashPreferred® card allows you to get up to 6% of cash at U.S. supermarkets a year, up to $6,000 per year (then 1%) (then 1%) and 6% on selected streaming services.
