Chase Sapphire Preferred
This card pays us commission.
If you are just starting out, it could make sense to apply for this bonus first. That’s because Chase has imposed restrictions on this offer, and will not approve those who got more than 5 cards (from any bank) within the last 24 months. See this review of the card for more information.

- $0 foreign transaction fees, plus chip-enabled for enhanced security and wider acceptance when used at a chip card reader
- 1:1 point transfer to leading frequent travel programs at full value — that means 1,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points equal 1,000 partner miles/points
- Travel and shop with confidence with premium Travel and Purchase Protection Benefits, including Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance, Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver, Purchase Protection and more
- 24/7 direct access to dedicated customer service specialists
- Annual Fee of $95, which is NOT waived the first year.
60,000 Ultimate Rewards can be converted to:
1) $600 in statement credit or $750 towards travel expenses.
2) 60,000 British Airways Avios miles.
3) 60,000 Southwest Rapid rewards, potentially good for 900 dollars or more in airfare.
There are other transfer partners, but those are my favorite currently.
