Chase Sapphire Preferred

The Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card is a mid-tier travel rewards card designed for consumers who want robust travel protections and flexible points earning without paying foreign transaction fees. Ideal for frequent travelers and everyday spenders who value safety and convenience, the card offers purchase protection up to $500 per claim, extended warranty coverage, auto rental collision damage waiver, and trip protections including cancellation/interruption insurance up to $10,000 per person and $20,000 per trip, as well as baggage delay and trip delay reimbursement up to $500 per ticket. Cardholders earn a flat 1x point on all purchases, complemented by perks such as a 10% annual points boost on last year’s spend, $50 annual hotel credit, and DashPass benefits including $10 per quarter for non-restaurant orders and complementary DashPass through December 31, 2027. While the annual fee is not waived in the first year and niche credits may not fully offset it, the Chase Sapphire Preferred card is best suited for travelers seeking strong protections, flexible points, and practical perks without foreign transaction fees.
