Chase just rolled out the biggest public Sapphire Preferred bonus we’ve seen in years – a flat 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points for new cardholders. That’s roughly $1,250 of travel if you redeem through Chase’s portal, which makes the card’s $95 annual fee feel a lot less painful.
What makes this pop is the simplicity. There’s no tiered bonus, no “spend $4,000 in three months or get half” nonsense in the headline. You apply, get approved, and the points land in your account. The catch? It’s a limited‑time offer. The promotion window is closing, so if you’ve been flirting with the Sapphire Preferred, now’s the moment to pull the trigger.
From a practical standpoint, the 100,000‑point chunk can cover a round‑trip economy ticket to Europe, a week‑long stay at a boutique hotel, or a modest upgrade to business class on a short haul. In other words, it’s not just a vanity number – it translates into real travel dollars.
Bottom line: If the Sapphire Preferred’s 2x points on travel and dining already fit your spending habits, this bonus turns the card into a near‑free ticket to $1,250‑plus in travel value. Wait for the deadline to pass and you’ll be kicking yourself for the missed opportunity.
