The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card stays in the top of the overall ranking because of its incredible signup bonus, reasonable annual fee, and the amazing value of the points it earns.

Chase Ultimate Rewards points are widely considered to be among the best points in the industry thanks to their ability to be transferred to multiple airline and hotel partners. This gives you a ton of options for redeeming your points no matter where you want to travel.

You can also redeem Ultimate Rewards to book travel via the Chase Travel℠ at a value of up to 1.75 cents per point with the new Points Boost.

Transferring them to Chase’s many transfer partners can provide the highest redemption values if you know where to look.

You can check out our recent review of the Chase Sapphire Preferred here.
