Everyone’s favorite cards just got even better! Chase is going all out to make the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Sapphire Reserve cards a no brainer.

The new changes are filling in for everything that the cards were missing; better rewards and a hotel credit on the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

Here are the details.

Changes to the Chase Sapphire Preferred

Rewards:

Chase has added more categories to earn a whole lot of extra rewards.

• 5 points on travel booked through Chase travel
• 3 points on dining, streaming services, and online grocery excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs
• 2 points on all other travel
• 1 point on all other purchases

Benefits:

Here are some awesome new credits and benefits!

• Get a $50 annual hotel credit each cardmember year. The hotel booking must be made through the Chase Travel Portal. (Existing Chase cardholders will get the $50 credit on their upcoming anniversary year.)
• Get 10% anniversary bonus points when you renew your card. Chase confirmed to us that the 10% will not be based on points you earn, only on what you spend.
  For example: If you earned 130,000 points within a cardmember year through the following breakdown:
  – 100,000 points through a welcome bonus
  – 5,000 points through spending $1,000 for Chase travel
  – 9,000 points through spending $3,000 on online groceries
  -16,000 points through spending $16,000 on all other purchases
  Total amount you spent = $20,000
  Total amount of points earned = 138,000
  Total amount of anniversary bonus points you will earn = 2,000 points (not 13,800)

• 10 points on Chase dining, hotels and car rentals booked through the Chase Travel Portal.
