    A fantastic card from Chase mainly due to the incredible bonus categories (5% back on bonus categories, and travel booked through Chase Ultimate Rewards®, 3% back on dining and drugstores) and decent welcome bonus.

    Personally I prefer the Chase Freedom Flex® to this card for the 5x earning opportunities. But with the welcome offer that allows you to effectively earn 3% back for your first year, this is a good option for earning for that year — when you’re not working on a different new cardmember bonus!

    The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is our top recommended beginner card for miles & points. The travel insurance it provides is top tier, too! Get this card early in your travel points journey, it’s a keeper.

    This annual fee is certainly hefty but if your business will use the credits it could provide some solid value. See our full analysis of the card here. These are still our favorite points! And for a lot of people the fact that they have a new opportunity to earn more of them with this card will be a huge win. This is a huge spend requirement but you do have 6 months to spend it.

    This had a major refresh in June 2025. For some people these changes are great, for others they are tough to swallow.

    This is a strong offer if you’re collecting Choice points. This can offer some great value — especially in Europe and around the US. Keep in mind, this does add to your 5/24 count.
