The point.me verdict
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is one of the best travel cards on the market, especially as a first travel card. A modest $95 fee buys 3x on dining and a rare bonus on vacation rentals, plus a $100 hotel credit that more than covers the fee. Just know new applicants no longer get 1:1 transfers to World of Hyatt. Best for someone getting their first travel card.
What we love
- $95 annual fee
- Strong bonus categories: 3x dining, gas, and vacation rentals (a less common category)
- $100 hotel credit via Chase Travel℠ with no minimum-night requirement, which more than covers the fee
- Global Entry, TSA PreCheck®, or NEXUS application credit
What we don't
- New applicants no longer get 1:1 transfers to World of Hyatt; existing cardholders only until 10/1/2026
Chase Ultimate Rewards
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to more than 14 airline and hotel partner programs, giving members a solid range of redemption options. A few especially noteworthy partners include Southwest Rapid Rewards, United MileagePlus, JetBlue TrueBlue, thanks to its favorable 1:1 transfer ratio, which is often considered one of the best uses of Chase points overall.
