How To Use Your Chase Sapphire Preferred $100 Hotel Credit

One of my favorite travel credit cards just did something almost unheard of — it increased its annual hotel credit from $50 to $100. When does that ever happen? Almost never. 🙌

Right now, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is offering a 100,000-point welcome bonus for a $95 annual fee. Factor in the new $100 hotel credit, and you're essentially getting paid to hold this card in year one. The minimum spend to unlock the bonus is $5,000. You can check out the full offer here. And to see what 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points can get you, check it out here.

Already have the card? Here's what to expect 👇

• If you had the card and never used the old $50 credit (or you're a brand-new cardholder): you should see the full $100 credit on your account.
• If you already used the $50 credit: you'll see a $50 credit applied to reflect the upgrade difference.

How to find your credit

Log in to your Chase.com account → click on your card → select Benefits and Travel → scroll down until you see a banner showing your available credit amount.

How to use your credit

Book any hotel through the Chase Travel Portal, pay with your Chase Sapphire Preferred, and a statement credit should post within a few days. 💳

A few things to keep in mind:

• You can pay partially with points, but you must charge at least the credit amount to your card for it to apply.
• This is a use-it-or-lose-it credit — and no, you can't apply it as a partial credit either, so make sure you're booking a stay that costs at least $100.
