Chase Sapphire(r) Preferred Card: 40,000 bonus points toward free flights/hotels

Sign up for the Chase Sapphire® Preferred Credit Card and earn 40,000 bonus points after you spend $3,000 or more in the first three months of cardmembership. That’s equal to $500 toward airfare or hotel accommodations and the best offer we’ve seen from Chase since December when it offered 50,000 bonus points. (The number of points required to redeem for free flights or hotel stays is dependent on fare or room availability, destination, date, and more.) Plus, pay no foreign transaction fees on purchases made outside the United States and earn 7% annual points dividend on all points earned in the previous year. Also, earn 2 points for every $1 spent on travel and dining and 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases. There’s no annual fee for the first year, but a $95 annual fee applies for each additional year.
