One of these new perks was a $50 statement credit on hotel stays purchased through the <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/ultimate-rewards-travel-portal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase Ultimate Rewards travel portal<\/a> upon opening the card, as well as each following cardmember anniversary. It\u2019s automatically applied to your account each year when you make an eligible charge. Note that the $50 credit does not earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/chase-sapphire-preferred-hotel-credit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to use the new $50 hotel credit on the Chase Sapphire Preferred<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>10% annual points bonus<\/h3>\n<p>Another change Chase added to the card is a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/10-percent-anniversary-bonus-chase-sapphire-preferred\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10% anniversary points bonus<\/a>. Cardholders will receive a 10% bonus based on their total spending during the account anniversary year at a rate of 1 point for each $10 spent. For example, if you spent $100,000 on your Sapphire Preferred during your cardmember year, you\u2019ll receive 10,000 bonus points at the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Note that this 10% is calculated on the dollars you spent rather than the points you earned. You thus don\u2019t receive additional points by leveraging the card\u2019s bonus categories.<\/p>\n<h3>DoorDash<\/h3>\n<p>The Chase Sapphire Preferred also includes at least one year of <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/chase-dashpass-sapphire-freedom-slate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complimentary DashPass membership<\/a> with DoorDash, which gives you free delivery and reduced service fees on eligible purchases.
