Why You Should Jump On This Bonus Offer Before It Ends
We are hearing that the increased bonus offer for the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit cards is ending "soon."
Though we don't know exactly when soon is, if you are thinking about jumping on this offer, you should do it sooner rather than later.
These cards are my favorites because Chase Ultimate Reward points are so flexible. You can transfer points to dozens of different airlines, hotels, use them in the Chase Travel Portal or even pay yourself back though I don't recommend doing this.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve cards also offer great benefits and should have a primary spot in everyone's wallet and travel strategy. The Sapphire Preferred credit card is also an excellent card for a student once they have built enough credit to qualify.
Right now, you can earn 75,000 CUR bonus points with a $4,000 minimum spend. The Sapphire Preferred has a $95 annual fee and the Reserve has a $550 annual fee, but the Reserve card also comes with a $300 travel credit, $100 global entry credit, Priority Pass membership and an increased value for the points in the Chase Travel Portal.
I love CUR points because of their flexibility. You can:
- transfer them to dozens of different airline loyalty programs
- transfer them to several hotel chains (Marriott, IHG, Hyatt)
- use them to buy hotels, flights, activities and car rentals in the Chase Travel Portal
- pay yourself back
- get a statement credit
If you don't have one of these in your wallet yet, this is the time. If you decide to apply, please consider using my referral link.

How To Squeeze More Value Out Of Your CUR Points
The Chase Ink Business Preferred and the Sapphire Preferred gives you 25% more for your points in the pay yourself back and Chase Travel Portal, but the Chase Sapphire Reserve gives you 50% more.
How To Squeeze More Value Out Of Your CUR Points
So here's the secret. Chase allows you to combine your points from one credit card to another. So you can easily move your points from your FREEDOM FLEX or Unlimited card to your Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve to get more value.
- Just log into your Chase.com account
- Click on the earn/use points and you'll see this dashboard. It's expanded a lot since the pandemic started. One of the things I love about Chase is how user friendly the site is. You can see exactly how many points you have, how to use them, and how to earn them.
- Click on combine points and you will see the option to move points from one card to another. You can also move points from one family member to another if your family member only has a no fee card or even a Preferred card.
Chase will ask you how many points you want to move, review your order and bam, instant transfer.
How To Squeeze More Value Out Of Your CUR Points
Now you can use those points for travel or to pay yourself back for any qualified purchases you made in the past 90 days.
If you decide to apply for the Chase FREEDOM Flex, Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve or Business Ink please consider using my referral link. You get the same bonus and I also get a small bonus for referring you. That's how we do it at almostFREEfamilytravel.com
