Chase has snagged the award for Best Travel Rewards Credit Card<\/a> for the seventh year in a row.<\/p>\n

A consensus favorite among TPG staffers, the Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card<\/a> (see rates and fees<\/a>) is again taking home the title of Best Travel Rewards Credit Card. That’s thanks to its low annual fee, ability to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a> points, an excellent roster of transfer partners, ease of use and generous travel benefits and protections.<\/p>\n

The Sapphire Preferred was my first travel rewards credit card, getting me into the world of points and miles<\/a>. This card is great for beginners and experts alike and will continue to be in my wallet for years to come.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore why the Chase Sapphire Preferred is named the top travel rewards card year after year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Great for beginners<\/h2>\n

The Chase Sapphire Preferred<\/a> is the little sibling of the Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/a> (see rates and fees<\/a>), a premium travel rewards card with a $550 annual fee. The Sapphire Reserve has more benefits and perks than the Sapphire Preferred, but the Sapphire Preferred wins on simplicity and ease of use.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you’re new to the world of points and miles, the welcome offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred can jump-start your journey with a nice stash of what we consider the most valuable rewards currency (along with Bilt Rewards Points).<\/p>\n
