Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of the most popular travel rewards cards on the market. With 5x on travel booked through Chase and 3x on dining, it's excellent for earning points. The 60,000 point bonus is solid, though we've seen 100,000 point offers in the past. I think this card is a great choice for anyone looking to get into the points and miles game without a huge annual fee commitment.
