I loved getting 3X Chase Ultimate Rewards points at restaurants on the 1st Friday of each month with my Chase Sapphire Preferred.

Even though the 1st Friday dining perk will end after 2015, the Chase Sapphire Preferred is still my favorite credit card.

And it’s 1 of the best cards for beginners because you get:

Note:   If you’re new to our hobby, this is 1 of the 1st cards you should consider.  That’s because Chase has changed their application rules.

If you’ve opened 5 or more credit card accounts (from any bank) in the past 24 months, it’s VERY UNLIKELY Chase will approve you for any of their Chase Ultimate Rewards earning cards, including the Chase Sapphire Preferred.

I’ve gotten a lot of Big Travel from the Chase Sapphire Preferred and will continue to keep it!

Live It Up!

Remember, the 1st Friday dining benefit will end after 2015.

It’s been a great limited-time offer.  But it’s NOT over yet!

You can still enjoy this perk until the end of the year.  So dine out while you can.  And I’ll remind you each month when 1st Friday is near!

This is a great reminder that our hobby is constantly changing, so USE your points.  Do NOT hoard them!

And do NOT expect great deals to last forever.  Enjoy them while you can and travel when you can!

The Chase Sapphire Preferred still earns 2X Chase Ultimate Rewards points for dining every day, so I’ll continue to use it at restaurants, even while abroad.  Because there are NO foreign transaction fees.

And who knows, maybe Chase will offer another promotion for Chase Sapphire Preferred members in 2016!

Bottom Line

Don’t forget, the Chase Sapphire Preferred will no longer earn 3X Chase Ultimate Rewards points for dining on the 1st Friday of each month after 2015.  This is a nice perk, so enjoy it while you can!

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is STILL my favorite credit card because I can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to airline and hotel partners like British Airways, Southwest, and Hyatt for Big Travel!

This is also a great reminder to USE your points because NO great deal lasts forever!
