Okay Daily Drop fam, this is a genuine last call. Not a "last call" in the way brands cry wolf... but a real one.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card's current welcome offer (earn 100,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening) is gone tomorrow. That’s at 3 PM EST on 7/30/2026.
So if you've been sitting on this one, today's the day.
Real talk: this is the card both of my kids chose as their first credit card. Not because it's flashy, but because it does the thing most first cards can't... it lets them choose.
Want to redeem for cash back when you need it? Go for it.
Ready to dip your toes in the water by booking through the Chase TravelSM portal? This card’s got you.
And when you’re up for playing the points and miles game? The same card gets you there too.
That kind of flexibility is rare for a first card, and it's why they didn't overthink the decision.
Don’t lose the opportunity due to analysis paralysis!
A few reasons this one earns its keep long after the bonus:
⛽ 3x points on gas and EV charging. Doesn't matter if you're filling up or charging up, this category hits your everyday spending without you changing a thing.
😋 3x points on dining, top streaming services, and online grocery (excluding Target, Walmart, and wholesale clubs). We all gotta eat! So earn more points for it.
🏠 3x points on vacation homes at top brands. All the Airbnb and Vrbo fans, this is absolutely the card for you.
🚢 2x points on all other travel. No math required.
🥇1x on all other purchases. Every purchase earns points. It’s that simple.
🛂 A $120 credit that basically pays for itself. Get up to $120 credit back every four years when you apply for TSA PreCheck, Global Entry or NEXUS with your card. Skip the line, offset the annual fee, don't think twice.
⛑️Comprehensive travel protections. That includes primary car rental insurance, emergency evacuation and transportation coverage when 100+ miles away from home (up to $100,000), trip delay and cancellation insurance, baggage delay insurance, and lost luggage reimbursement.
✈️ Points that actually go somewhere. Transfer to Hyatt, United, Air France/KLM, British Airways, and more (everything transfers at 1:1 except Hyatt, which transfers at 4:3).
That 100K bonus isn't just a number, it's a real trip.
This offer's had a good run, but tomorrow it’ll be gone (the offer officially ends at 3 PM EST on 7/30/2026). So if it's been on your list, today's the day to make it official.
