My Favorite Credit Card Is Offering 100,000 Bonus Points
Plus: How to achieve financial literacy and maximize travel hacking with credit card points
This post contains affiliate links for credit cards for which I may receive bonus points. I only recommend products I use myself.
My favorite credit card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, is currently offering the highest sign up bonus they’ve ever offered of 100,000 points. This is a limited time offer and they haven’t announced when it will end, so it could be revoked at any time.
This is one of just two credit cards I personally own. While many people cycle through many credit cards to earn sign-up bonuses and accrue literally millions of points, I accomplish a good amount of credit card travel hacking with just two cards.
The annual fee is $95 and the required spend is $5,000 in three months. A sign up bonus this high was last available summer of 2025, and before that it hadn’t been available since 2021. The bonus is usually 60,000 points. The current bonus of 100,000 points is the equivalent of $2,000+ in travel credit on partner airlines and hotel chains, or can simply be cashed out for $1,000 cash.
If you want to learn more about my thoughts on financial literacy and credit card travel hacking, I discussed these topics at length in previous articles.
Are there other aspects of financial literacy you want to see discussed here on Capitalism & Glitter? Let me know and that topic may end up in a future article.
Can I still get the points if I sign up for it, but I already have a chase sapphire card that isn’t preferred?
Are you canceling after year 1 to avoid the annual fee or are you keeping it long term and paying the fee? Specific to this chase one discussed here
