Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card in a travel context
To the point The U.S. Chase Sapphire Preferred card offers 100,000 bonus points for a limited time. Here's why this offer may interest Canadians who have a U.S. credit file.

The Chase Sapphire Preferred has enhanced its welcome offer with 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points for a limited time. This is a U.S. credit card that is not available in Canada. However, it may interest Canadians who are already accustomed to applying for cards in the United States.

Si vous détenez un dossier de crédit américain, cette offre devient une façon concrète de varier vos points. Pour tout le détail des cartes et programmes américains, notre site Milesopedia.us est votre référence. Par ailleurs, pour vos demandes au pays, consultez notre page des meilleures cartes de crédit.

The 100,000-Point Welcome Offer

The Chase Sapphire Preferred offers 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points after spending $5,000 USD within the first three months of account opening. Additionally, this is a limited-time offer with no announced end date.

Using a conservative valuation of 1.7 cents per point, this bonus is worth approximately $1,700 USD in travel. Thus, depending on how you redeem the points, the actual value can increase further.

Who This Offer Is For

This offer targets a specific audience. Indeed, to obtain a Chase card in the United States, you must meet several conditions.

  • A U.S. credit file: a Social Security Number (SSN) or ITIN, with a credit history in the United States
  • A U.S. address: a valid residential or mailing address in the United States
  • Familiarity with U.S. applications: you already understand how issuers like Chase operate

A Way to Diversify Your Points

Les points Chase Ultimate Rewards forment une devise distincte des programmes canadiens habituels. Ainsi, ils complètent bien un portefeuille déjà garni de points Aéroplan ou de Points-Privilèges American Express.

You can transfer these points to several airline and hotel partners, most at a 1:1 ratio. Several are useful for Canadian travelers:

For example, a transfer to an airline partner like Flying Blue or Aeroplan can cover a business class flight. To better understand this program, consult our Chase Ultimate Rewards guide.

Card Features

Beyond the bonus, the card offers an attractive earning structure and useful travel benefits:

  • 5X points: on travel booked through Chase Travel
  • 3X points: on dining, vacation rental properties, gas and electric vehicle charging, major streaming services, and online grocery purchases (excluding Walmart, Target, and warehouse clubs)
  • 2X points: on all other travel purchases
  • 1X point: on all other purchases
  • Hotel credit: up to $100 USD per anniversary year, via Chase Travel (no minimum stay)
  • Trusted traveler credit: up to $120 every 4 years for Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS
  • Apple TV: one year free subscription (must be activated by December 31, 2026)
  • No foreign transaction fees: on purchases in foreign currencies
  • Annual fee: $95 USD (unchanged)

Additionally, your points are worth 25% more when you book travel through the Chase Travel portal. You can also transfer them to partners to aim for higher value. Finally, travel protections have been enhanced with the addition of emergency evacuation and transportation.
