We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

I have to remove the 50,000 point Chase Sapphire Preferred affiliate link by April 3 2012 [Expired]

    Enjoy a Beach Vacation to the Caribbean or Hawaii! Both Are Possible With the Points You’ll Earn With the Chase Sapphire Preferred!

    Update:  This offer is no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    I’ve been asked to remove the affiliate links for the Chase Sapphire Preferred which offers a 50,000 points sign-up bonus by 10: 00 am EST on April 3, 2012.

    I’m not sure if that means that all links to the Chase Sapphire Preferred will be for 40,000 points in future (since the official offer on the Chase website is for 40,000 points), or if non-affiliate links like this one will still work after April 3, 2012. 

    Usually, there have been working links after the offer has been discontinued in the affiliate channel (think Chase Southwest for 50,000 points or Citi Thank You Premier), but I don’t know what will happen this time.

    All that we’ve been told is that Chase will be updating the offers for the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the regular Chase Sapphire.

    As I wrote previously, it is not the end of the world if you can’t get in on the 50,000 point sign-on bonus.  There will be new offers and 40,000 points is still a bonanza compared to the sign-up bonuses just a few years ago.

    In any case, I got approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred last week and Emily has had the card since June last year.  I had to call the reconsideration line to get approved, but it was a very easy call.

    I like the flexibility of transferring points at a 1:1 ratio into my favorite air and hotel programs such as Hyatt, United, and Southwest (since we have the Southwest Companion Pass), the no foreign transaction fee, and the double points on hotels and dining.

    And I particularly like pairing the Chase Sapphire Preferred with the Chase Freedom because the Chase Freedom earns 5x points in rotating categories (grocery stores in April, May & June) which we can transfer to our Chase Sapphire Preferred account and then to the different hotel and air partners.

    Readers have also confirmed that you can get the sign up bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred even if you have or had the regular Chase Sapphire card because they are considered different card products by Chase.

    As always, Emily and I are very grateful to the many readers who apply for the Chase Sapphire Preferred using our link!
