A big step up from some basic debit/cash back card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred gives you a big bonus without the steep fee/spending requirement. A so many ways to use the points makes it really easy to get started with the free travel.

Offer: 60,000 points after $4,000 spend in first 3 months.

If you’re still using a debit card, or earning (slowly) on some flat 1% rewards card—you can do better. Get $200 upfront with Chase Freedom, 5% on gas/groceries, and earn 1.5% (one half more) on everything else.

Offer: 20,000 Points after $500 spend in first 3 months, 5% on gas/groceries during the first year. 3% on dining, and 1.5% on everything else. NO annual fee.
