Card Review

Let me be clear: This is the card for you if you like to travel.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card earns you rewards points on a point-per-dollar basis on all of your purchases. Except when you use it for travel or dining related expenses. For those, you earn double points! That’s sweet.

Even better: there are no foreign transaction fees. So yes, this is the ideal card for travel buffs.

Oh, if you are a member of some of the leading travel rewards clubs, you can transfer your reward points on a 1 to 1 basis. That’s serious flexibility.

Want more? How about no foreign transaction fees? Depending on what you spend, that could save you a few hundred dollars on a vacation. Plus, with this card, you get special travel services and insurances too, like trip cancellation, baggage delay, etc. Plus 24/7 live help and emergency assistance anywhere in the world.
