Chase just launched the highest public offer ever — it's hard to beat on a card with a very reasonable annual fee. Eligible cardholders can earn up to 80,000 bonus points, after meeting minimum-spend requirements, plus a statement credit toward grocery store purchases in the first year, to boot. See how to take full advantage, with: - [Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card offer details]( - [Earn up to 80,000 bonus points with Chase]( - [How to maximize your Ultimate Rewards points]( One you earn your bonus, there are endless opportunities to redeem. Personally, I prefer to transfer to key Chase partners, including Hyatt, for high-value hotel redemptions. United is another top choice, especially if you're redeeming for premium cabins like Lufthansa's 747-8 first class, pictured above.
