Maximize the Value from your Chase Sapphire Preferred card

Many cards come with an annual fee, which can seem annoying at first. Let’s walk through how to get more VALUE outside the welcome bonus for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card.

Category bonuses

Earn 5 points per dollar spent on Lyft and when booking through the Chase Travel Portal
Earn 3 points per dollar spent on dining, online groceries and select streaming services
Earn 2 points per dollar on other travel, including airfare, hotel, metro and train tickets

Travel and Rental Car Insurance

If your airline trip is significantly delayed, (12+ hours) you can get $500 per ticket.
If your baggage is delayed 6+ hours you can get $100 per passenger for up to five days to cover clothes and tolietries.
Primary rental car insurance is covered when booking with your Chase Sapphire Preferred card

Extra bonuses

$50 hotel credit per year when booking through the Chase Travel Portal
10% back in Chase Ultimate rewards points every year
1 year of complimentary DashPass (when you activate by Dec 31, 2027) this can save you tons!
- $10/month in free groceries – search the Doordash map and find a convenience store near you and set to pick-up to avoid delivery fees. Load your cart with the items and apply your Chase Sapphire Preferred as payment. You should see the total drop by $10.
- Discounted gift cards offers with the DashPass – These tend to align with holidays and can be 5-15% off. My favorite are the Zift Happy Birthday cards – which converts to Amazon.com.
