So I am not a heavy traveler but I somehow got wrapped into the Chase Sapphire Preferred card because previously I had a Chase Marriot Card and a Chase Continental Card. So the assumption was made that I was a big traveler. I don’t want a fee card so I was thinking about canceling after my first year and getting the Freedom Card. Why am I waiting??….because I don’t want to put another credit card request in so soon after I just got the Sapphire. I am told that this could hurt my credit score. What do you think? Before I close my Sapphire card out at the end of the year I will of course redeem all of my points for cash. This might work well considering I am taking a few big trips in 2011 and will get 25% more and 7% Dividends in my first year and still not paying a fee.

Can someone explain how the points relate to the points used by United millage plus or American Advantage (i.e. 25000 = a roundtrip flight)? Or are those such as Sapphire somehow related
to dollars of airfare and only full fare prices

Can anyone provide a list or open link to those “select merchants through the Ultimate Rewards Mall”?

Great post! Chase is my favorite credit card company. I just learned about the signup bonus they are currently offering for a Sapphire card tonight through this post. While the signup bonus is generous, they only offer 1% cashback for all purchases, while the Chase Freedom Card gives you 5% cashback in rotating categories like gas, department stores, etc as well as no annual fee. Chase Freedom is what I use for all of my purchases.

The Sapphire card is what I use. It’s great. No annual fee, 1% cash back, a nice signup bonus, and good customer service. Simple stuff, really. The way credit cards should be. No complaints from me. And I pay everything off month-to-month as you suggest.
