In case you missed it, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is on a legendary run in the annual TPG Awards, winning Travel Rewards Credit Card of the Year for a record-setting eighth straight year!
And if you haven’t gotten in on this rewards powerhouse yet, now is the perfect time to jump in.
That’s because new cardholders can earn a generous 75,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
That bonus is worth $1,538, per TPG’s February 2026 valuations — already an incredible value, and 15,000 points more than Chase used to offer. But given Chase’s standout list of transfer partners, there are many ways to get even more bang for your points.
I’m talking about options like:
A trip across the pond: Economy flights to London via Virgin Atlantic start at 6,000 points each way (plus taxes and fees). So, that bonus alone could cover a whopping six round trips! Or, if business class is more your speed, Virgin’s swanky lie-flat Upper Class seats start at 29,000 points each way (plus taxes and fees).
And get this: With Chase’s current 40% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, you could be scooping up those lie-flat seats for only 21,000 points! That’s unbelievably cheap for lie-flat transatlantic travel.
A round trip to Hawaii in first class: Transfer Chase points to United MileagePlus for a first-class flight to Hawaii from the West Coast starting at 50,000 miles each way.
A luxurious stay in paradise: Arguably the best way to redeem Chase points is transferring them to World of Hyatt, where an all-inclusive stay at Secrets Mallorca Villamil Resort & Spa in Spain starts at 25,000 points per night. Nights at the dreamy Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort in Costa Rica start at 35,000 points each.
With a high-value bonus, powerful earning rates and a solid suite of benefits (all for a modest $95 annual fee), it’s no surprise the Sapphire Preferred remains our top all-around pick. And with that juicy 75,000-point offer on the table, getting this card is a no-brainer.
