I’ve got a SUPER fun tip to tell you guys about, but it’s a little tedious… so pay attention. 👨🏫
In case you didn’t know, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card has a current welcome offer of: Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
In general, this card is pretty freakin’ solid.
But what about those of you who already have this card? 🤔
Well, there’s a way that you can effectively MULTIPLY your rewards in certain categories.
This is all thanks to a unique offer on the Chase Freedom Unlimited® card that we’ve told you about a loooong while back… We haven’t talked about it often because, on its own, it’s not that exciting.
But when you pair it with the Sapphire Preferred, it’s a match made in heaven 😍
Here’s how the Chase Freedom Unlimited® works 👇
This is a cash-back card that earns the following rates:
5% cash back on purchases made through the Chase Travel portal
3% cash back on drugstore purchases and dining at restaurants, including takeout and eligible delivery service
1.5% cash back on all other purchases
Sounds boring, right?
Well, here’s where the welcome offer comes into play… 😏
The current welcome offer will add an EXTRA 1.5% back to ALL of the rates above, worth up to $300 cash back.
*On up to $20,000 spent in the first year
BUT…
If you have the Sapphire Preferred, that cash back turns into Chase points.
That means that by holding these two cards, you’ll be earning THREE Chase points per dollar on all non-categorized spending and 4.5 Chase points per dollar on some easy everyday categories like drugstores and dining 🙌
By having these two cards (which have combined annual fees of just $95, btw), you’re unlocking premium earning rates that could take you around the world.
For example, spending the full $20,000 on non-categorized spending would yield a total of 60,000 Chase points.
Those points can be transferred to partners like Virgin Atlantic, which currently has a 40% transfer bonus from Chase.
With that bonus, those 84,000 Virgin miles are enough to easily book you round-trip flights from the U.S. to Europe in business class, which cost as few as 29,000 miles each 👇
In fact, you’d still have 24,000 miles left over after that…
Those 24,000 miles are enough to book you two MORE freaking ROUND TRIPS to Europe in Economy.
Anyway, here’s the bottom line:
These two cards have excellent welcome offers. If you have either one of them, getting the other will drastically increase the value you get from each one.
If you don’t have either of them… well… you can always just get both. 🤷🏼♂️
