Summary
The Chase Sapphire Preferred just got one of its biggest updates in years, and we're breaking down everything you need to know. In this episode, we take an honest look at the latest changes covering the wins, the losses, and the changes that have sparked strong reactions throughout the points and miles community. We discuss the new travel benefits, updated credits, and enhanced travel protections, while also tackling the biggest headline: the devaluation of Hyatt transfers from a 1:1 ratio to 4:3. We share our personal thoughts on what these changes mean for everyday travelers, whether the cards still deserve a place in your wallet, and the strategies we're using to maximize value going forward. If you're a Chase cardholder—or considering becoming one—this episode will help you understand what's changed and how to adapt your points strategy moving forward Mentioned in this Episode: Chase Sapphire Preferred Referral- Mary Ellen Chase Sapphire Preferred Referral- Joanna Bilt Palladium Referral Comfrt.com 15% OFF Find Us On Online: Girl's Trip Interest Form (April 7-10, 2027) Summer Road Trip Submissions ARE BACK!
