Also: A look at Away's new limited-edition Neon Collection of luggage [The Points Guy]( WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TODAY May 4, 2023 DON'T SLEEP ON THIS OFFER
Iâve been into travel rewards for a long time, and the most common question Iâve been asked in all those years is [which rewards credit card is the best]( one to get if youâre just starting out. For the last 14 years, my answer has almost always been the same. Whether you fly Southwest Airlines to Florida, stay at a [fab beach resort in Hawaii]( or [book a business-class seat to Europe]( the [Chase Sapphire Preferred Card]( is my top pick for making your travel dreams a reality. And right now, you're in luck, as the Chase Sapphire Preferred has a limited-time sign-up bonus of 80,000 points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of opening your account. The bonus, which is a 20,000-point increase over the usual offer, will net you [at least $1,000 in value]( but thatâs not the only reason why the card gets my vote. Read on to see why Iâve recommended the card for more than a decade, plus additional tips about how to travel more for less:
- [After 14 years, why the Chase Sapphire Preferred should still be your 1st rewards card](
