Last week, I made a bit of an error.
I had everything planned out. I was excited about the credit card welcome offer I had been eyeing, and my husband was on board with it too. The bonuses we could earn would be enough for business class tickets to the U.S. from Europe later this year.
However, when I finally opened my laptop to apply, I was suddenly gripped by panic. I couldn’t locate the offer details anywhere. I ended up missing the bonus window by just a day.
If you’re curious, I’m still kicking myself over it. That’s part of why I’m sharing this. One of the best offers this year is about to expire, and I’d hate for you to miss it by accident.
Until 9 a.m. on May 15th, new applicants for the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card can earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 within the first three months of account opening. The deadline is looming, so the time to apply is now.
Why should you consider the popular Chase Sapphire?
If you read TPG regularly, you’ve likely heard about this offer before, but there are numerous reasons you might have held off.
Perhaps you need to check your eligibility or want to learn more about redeeming Chase’s ultimate reward points.
Maybe you’ve been trying to space out your credit card applications. Or perhaps you’re already aware of the impressive value offered by Sapphire Preferred, but just haven’t applied yet.
There’s no judgment from me, but seriously, it’s time to stop procrastinating.
It turns out I’m not alone in feeling regret lately. After another limited-time offer expired recently, we received numerous messages from readers who wished they had acted sooner. That’s an awful feeling.
It’s not worth the gamble
We all know the risk of waiting around too long.
What if you accidentally set a calendar reminder for the wrong time zone? I’ve done that. What if you lose track of the application window amid a sea of open tabs? Yep, fallen into that trap myself. Or what if life just happens, like it did to me last week?
I’m telling you: you don’t want to find yourself on the wrong side of a special offer that might not come around again for ages, based on past experiences.
Why shouldn’t you miss the 100,000 points Chase Sapphire Priority Bonus?
Chase Sapphire Preferred offers valuable ultimate reward points that can be transferred to a wide range of hotel and airline partners.
As a long-time cardholder, I can vouch for how those points can facilitate any kind of trip, from a quick domestic getaway to a dream vacation abroad.
I’ve used my ultimate reward points for stays in places like Maui, London, and Sydney, and even for an overnight road trip in Utah.
I’ve transferred them to airline partners like Air Canada Aeroplan and United MileagePlus, securing business class tickets to Tahiti and Japan, along with a short economical trip back to Chicago to see family.
You genuinely can’t have too many ultimate reward points, and the chances of earning 100,000 points at once are slim. So, even if you’re not ready to travel right now, it’s wise to bank those points for later—and I highly suggest you do.
Final Thoughts
With the Chase Sapphire Preferred’s 100,000-point offer, it’s definitely time to apply before it slips away. You can thank me later!
