Figures that a guy named Chase has one of the most clear and value filled vid about the Chase Sapphire Preferred! 🤔 Great video Chase! Learned some new stuff
This video is really good. I learned a few things. But I can't stand all the commercials that are interrupting every three minutes or so. I had to stop watching the video after minute 12 because it started to show already like the fourth commercial.I don't know if the amount of commercials in a video can be controlled by the creator of the video or not but if you can, do something. It's unbearable.
Fyi, that United flight example isn't correct. You're looking at a round trip cash price. It's only $106 OW, which is around 1.8 cpp. Not terrible, but saver awards are extremely limited and are usually bad routing and time. That 8p flight costs you the entire Saturday in LV. I feel like its more worth to pay more points, ignore CPP, and take a more optimal flight allowing you more time on vacation.
Facts. I went deep into trying to book award flights but it is simply not worth the headache. People focus way too much on cpp. Now i’m thinking of simplifying my setup by combining a Chase card with my Bilt card United and Hyatt, and AA
Fair point. Don't get me wrong, at the end of the day it only really matters how you value points. Although CPP is an objective way to value something subjective. It also helps provide a good guideline to aim for. I 1000% agree that we should use points to the best of our convenience.
appreciate the insight. I just wanted to show a quick and easy comparison since this would be a case by case scenario anyway. as i mentioned, the results would vary greatly depending on your personal booking
I despise their portal. Nearly feet other booking agency is cheaper than the chase portal including the $50 credit. So with the $50 credit I’d still be spending more money. It pisses me off.
ya its a hit or miss. The $50 credit is definitely an incentive to give Chase business through their portal. If you constantly redeems your points every year then you can justify the annual fee without dealing with the Chase portal.
I agree about the CDW. I just wish it was as easy to use as AMEX's. It seems Chase contracts out to a 3rd party for the coverage. It was a ton of paperwork for me to get reimbursed for a broken windshield, but glad I had the coverage.
Thanks for the video awesome video. I’ve just started on my CC journey to be able to book my very first trip to Japan even if I just go on economy. I’m so excited to finally make it happen!
I used to think $99 annual fee was too expensive but after getting the Amex platinum, everything below that seems cheap. I’m waiting for higher signup bonus to open this card.
Amex Platinum seems like an expensive coupon book. Getting rid of my Delta Reserve and will get the Chase preferred. I'll spend the extra cash at great airport restaurants instead rather then crowded lounges these days
Love that $50 Hotel Credit. While there are downsides to booking through a Travel Portal, paying $50 in cash and then the rest in points can make sense for some one off hotel stays. Love the DoorDash partner benefits with the CSP! Great video Chase!
Is there something you’re supposed to do for to get the 10% anniversary points? My one-year mark recently passed, and it says that I have 764 points earned in the last anniversary period, but my year-to-date earnings chart shows that none of my 2024 points are from the anniversary points boost
I always store my sapphire preferred in my booty and I twerq on the NFC reader. The twerqing points really add up, and now I have a fabulous stay at a 5 star resort of 72 hours.
You would just need to book 4 nights in a row via this website: book.ennismore.com/chase-sapphire. Keep in mind that " Any additional hotel charges, such as resort fees, and any charges for incidentals that you incur are not included in your reservation rate or 4th Night Free award and must be paid directly to the hotel"
4:43 Well I love to travel so I don’t really have a favorite place but I have a rental property and a girlfriend of two years in Brazil so I’m constantly traveling there and used that credit last year on a hotel stay and I’ll try to use it again this year. I’m more of an Airbnb kinda guy but I still find this a easy credit to use.
This is an excellent no nonsense look at how to come out ahead in the increasingly complex and frustrating world of travel rewards. Thank you for going to the heart of the issue with reasonable conclusions about what decisions we need to make to maximize benefits. Great job and you now have a new fan.
