Our favorite deal right now is the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. This card is one of the best starter cards in the points game. When you sign up for this card and spend $4,000 in 3 months, you will receive a 60,000 point sign-up bonus.
Also important to note, this card earns 3x points on dining, including eligible delivery services (for all you door dash fans) and takeout. You will also receive 2x points when you use this card for anything travel-related. Chase points are worth $.0125 per point, so this sign-up bonus is valued at $750 towards travel, whether it is flights, hotels, or rental cars on the Chase Portal.
An annual fee for this card is $95, so you have a $655 upside for opening this card. Not too shabby.
