It’s now a little bit easier to earn bonus points with the Chase Sapphire PreferredSM Card. Now, when you sign up for a new account you just have to spend $2,000 within your first 3 months (previously it was $3,000) and you’ll earn 40,000 bonus points. These points can be redeemed for $400 in statement credit or a flight that costs $500. Not a bad deal!
Beyond the sign up bonus, the card has a number of other great benefits like earning double points and no annual fee for the first year. The annual fee is normally $95, but the offer waives this for the first year. Another cool little fact is you after your first year of membership you will have the option to convert the card to the Chase Sapphire Card which does not carry an annual fee. This will allow you to take advantage of the bonus offer and still miss out on the annual fee down the road. There are some slight differences between the two card offers which you can check out below.
