If Chase Sapphire and Chase Sapphire Preferred were two sisters, PlasticIQ would definitely want to date Sapphire Preferred. With Sapphire Preferred, you get a rather super-sized initial spend bonus (50K points instead of 10K), and you get a 25% bump in the value of your points when you redeem for airfare or hotel (making the initial 50K spend bonus worth a cool $625!).

While the Chase Freedom® Card probably can’t start a revolution, it does provide a whopping 5% bonus cashback on rotating spend categories each quarter. Additionally, the Chase Freedom® card comes with a nice cash bonus–either $200 or $100 depending on which offer you apply for (the $100 cash back bonus card also provides a 0% into APR–details below).
