Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Chase Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve cardholders can book hotels through Chase Travel, but pricing may vary depending on the card used. The Sapphire Preferred may offer lower cash rates and require fewer points than the Sapphire Reserve. However, the Sapphire Reserve offers additional benefits, such as a $100 property credit and daily breakfast for two, when booking through The Edit program. Despite the differences, the Sapphire Preferred can still deliver exceptional value, especially with its current 100,000-point welcome bonus.
