Review

It has, perhaps, never been easier to earn flight rewards than with the Chase Sapphire SM Preferred Card. Developed by Chase Bank for customers in the United States, this card can earn you one point for every dollar that you spend, no matter what that might be. You can get double points on airfare, but with a minimum collective purchase, you can also get a 50,000 mile bonus!

You can not only use these rewards on airfare, but you can associate them to an existing frequent traveler account to help you earn those benefits more quickly. If you prefer, though, you can also have these points converted to your account balance in US dollars, which reduces the total amount that you owe.
