Chase Sapphire Preferred sign up bonus

They've had that going for a little while now. I got the card earlier in the year, booked my vacation on it and turned the 40,000 into a $400 statement credit.

Can anyone recommend the Sapphire Preferred over the Citi Thank You Preferred? I eat out a lot and currently don't use a card to take advantage of that so I've been looking at both. Sapphire rewards appear better at first glance, but there's no annual fee with Citi. Is 100 Sapphire points essentially $1?

Start with the Ink Bold to get 50,000 points. Then after a year get the ink plus for another 50,000 points. If they ask you why you need both cards just tell them you like the fact that the Ink Plus allows you to pay over time. After you have gotten both of the business cards then you can get the Sapphire Preferred card (try to wait for the 50,000 point bonus for that card as well).

As Teddy stated wait until you know what flight you are trying to book and then look into how many miles it will take for that flight based on the cost. Generally you always get more value from transferring points into the mileage program that offers the best deal for the specific flight you are looking to book.

I could provide countless examples but a flight from Houston to Belize generally cost around $850 but only takes 35,000 United Miles. As such you are getting 2.4 cents per mile instead of 1.25 cents.
