My Take
I highly recommend the Sapphire Preferred for anyone looking for a great travel credit card. The card has an annual fee, but there are a few credits that help make paying the price more manageable. It is also one of three Chase cards that allows transferring points to travel partners. The other cards are the Chase Sapphire Reserve® ($550 annual fee) and the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card ($95 annual fee).
