Chase Sapphire Reserve card review: One of the best premium travel cards, with unbeatable bonus rewards

Review: Is the Chase Sapphire Reserve the best card for you?

The Chase Sapphire Reserve® is an extremely valuable card for travel, thanks to the valuable Ultimate Rewards points it earns and benefits like a $300 annual travel credit. It does charge a steep $550 annual fee, but if you can put its benefits to use, it could be the best premium credit card for you.

If you don't want to pay a premium-level annual fee, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is a good alternative, at $95 a year. It earns bonus points on the same purchase categories as the Sapphire Reserve, but at a lower rate, and it offers most of the same travel protections.

Bottom line: Those who are new to rewards credit cards may want to start elsewhere, but if you know you want to earn Chase points and you spend a lot on travel and dining, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® is one of the most rewarding options. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
