Chase has upgraded its Sapphire Preferred credit card with new benefits including a $100 annual hotel credit, 3X points on gas, EV charging, and vacation homes, plus a limited-time 100,000-point welcome bonus after spending $5,000 in three months. The annual fee remains $95, making it a strong value for travelers and everyday spenders. Some perks like the 10% anniversary points bonus and Hyatt point transfer ratio are being reduced starting October 2026, but most users will benefit from the enhanced rewards and protections. This refresh positions the card as a top travel rewards option for both new and existing cardholders.
