Recently in my little credit card review series, I’ve for some reason been comparing credit cards that could be considered close family, like the various Chase Freedom credit cards and the Discover More cards. I guess the holiday season is getting me in the family spirit, but whatever the reason let’s keep it rolling with a look at a Chase Sapphire credit card. Like a little brother or the proverbial redheaded stepchild, the Chase Sapphire Card often lives under the shadow of the Chase Sapphire Preferred card. You’d obviously assume that the preferred version would be preferable but we should at least see what the other guy has to offer. The plain old Chase Sapphire Card first offers 25,000 bonus points after you charge $3,000 on it in the first three months, and these points are redeemable for $250. Aside from that you get 2 points per dollar spent on dining and one point per dollar on everything else. There’s no special 0% intro rate with the Chase Sapphire Card and consumers must have excellent credit for approval. This last point is perhaps the most important because excellent credit is all you need to get the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card. For people mainly interested in getting an attractive initial bonus, the Chase Sapphire Preferred would be the way to go since it offers $50,000 bonus points, redeemable for $625 in travel or $500 in cash. If you don’t mind switching credit cards after a year, the preferred version of the Chase Sapphire would again be preferable because it offers 2 points per dollar on travel AND dining and 1 point for everything else. A $95 annual fee kicks in during the second year you’re an accountholder though, so you’ll want to close your account before that. Basically 2% cash back on travel and dining and 1% on everything else isn’t really all that attractive when offset by a nearly $100 annual fee is factored in. Ultimately then, the Chase Sapphire Card doesn’t have the word “preferred” along with it for a reason, so it should be behind it’s brother on your Christmas List.
