What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

For us miles and points enthusiasts, it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

And no, I’m not talking about Christmas, but I AM talking about how right now the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card has a limited-time, elevated welcome offer of 75,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 in the first three months!

This time of year is special because, historically, the Sapphire Preferred only offers an elevated welcome bonus once a year.

…but this merry season is coming to an end soon so you don’t want to miss out on this elevated offer!

Let’s look at some reasons why you shouldn’t wait to get the Chase Sapphire Preferred card in your wallet ASAP.

1. Bonus points, bonus points, BONUS POINTS

Like I mentioned, the “normal” welcome offer is usually quite a bit lower than the current one (hello 75,000 bonus points).

And those 75,000 points are worth at least $900 for travel when used in the Chase TravelSM portal.

If simplicity is what you prefer, then using your Chase Ultimate Rewards points in the travel portal will yield a value of 1.25 cents per point.

However, you can get substantially more value by taking advantage of Chase’s incredible airline and hotel transfer partners to book flights and accommodations for nearly free.

2. This is a once-a-year deal

Just like your fleeting youth, that 75,000-point offer won’t last forever.

Historically, this is a short-lived delight. An elevated offer like this only comes around once a year on the Sapphire Preferred. See for yourself 👇

3. Gear up for summer and fall travel

Summer is fast approaching, but technically the summer season doesn’t end until September 22nd.

Think about all the months ahead that could be filled with travel!

And after the peak summer months comes fall—the best time of the year (in my opinion). But also one of the best times for travel in general.

Think about it.

The deadening heat is gone. The hordes of tourists have returned to their homes. It’s all fantastic.

So if you apply for the Sapphire Preferred card now, you’ll have plenty of time to responsibly meet the spending requirement, earn your welcome offer, and book your late summer or fall getaway.

4. Looming loyalty program devaluations

Okay, woah. This seems out of left field, but hear me out.

As time goes on, both hotel and airline loyalty programs will slowly devalue the worth of their points.

In recent months and years, we’ve seen it with Delta, United, Marriott…

Don’t worry, because you can still find fantastic ways to redeem your points. But the truth is, over time, these programs will likely require more and more points to book the same experiences.

It’s better to hop on this elevated offer now, earn those points, and spend them for an amazing vacay while you can still get incredible value!

5. Set yourself apart from the rest

I’ll let you in on a secret—if you become a cardholder of the Chase Sapphire Preferred, you’re setting yourself up for travel success far beyond many other travel hopefuls.

With your Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you could be flying in business class for nearly free (instead of paying thousands of dollars in cash for the same thing).

You might also book five completely free nights at a gorgeous, all-inclusive Hyatt resort in the tropics.

Whereas the dude in the pool lounger next to you spent over $1,500 for the same vacation package.

The sooner you get this card and accumulate Chase Ultimate Rewards points, the better off you’ll be when it comes to years and years of future travel.

Bottom line

The elevated welcome offer of 75,000 bonus points on the Chase Sapphire Preferred card is ending soon.

This is truly one of (if not the best) offers we see on one of the best travel credit cards in the biz.

Don’t wait to apply for the card until it’s too late—those additional bonus points can make a wild difference for future travel redemptions!
