  • In this video, we compare the Chase Sapphire Preferred vs Chase Sapphire Reserve to see which Chase credit card is worth it. Each of these credit cards is great, and this Chase Sapphire Preferred vs Reserve video covers everything. Click "Show More" to see Ad Disclosure.
    Both of these Chase Sapphire cards will give you good value no matter what - whether that’s from the welcome bonus, points earning categories, points redemption features, or other benefits. But with a $550 annual fee on the Sapphire Reserve vs the Sapphire Preferred with its $95 annual fee, for some people it can be tough to justify the more expensive credit card. But here, we go over how to decide which of these popular travel credit cards will be best for you based on your spending and how you plan to redeem those points. We’ll also talk about some of the other benefits and features found on both the Chase Sapphire Preferred and the Chase Sapphire Reserve which can be useful for those that travel a lot.
    Overall, I think that if you do plan to travel frequently, then the Sapphire Reserve might be the better option. If you just want better value for a cheaper annual fee, then the Sapphire Preferred might be better. But there is a lot to consider, so this video tries to cover it all to help you decide what is best for yourself.

    Travel a lot, like twice a month? Reserve. Travel once or twice a year? Preferred. Use cards purely for protections? Reserved. Use the cards strictly for travel partners? Prefered.

    The Preferred is going to bring a lot of value to most everyday regular normies like myself. If you have an abover average spending rate--paroticularly on travel--the reserve may be a better option.

    I agree: the CSP is probably the better way to go first, and at the end of the first year, you can choose if you want to upgrade to the CSR. That's exactly how I would play it! Great comparison video! Also, nice background color contrast with the blue and yellow - your studio setup is coming along quite nicely!!

    I think if you travel more than few times a year, the CSR makes more sense based on the $300 travel credit. You don’t have to use the travel portal for it, so it’s very flexible.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +4

    Terrific job Danny!!! The CSP is perfect for me. The welcome bonus was perfect last year (100K points, plus no annual fee in the first year), the transfer partners are great (especially Hyatt), and for the occasional traveler, coupled with a Freedom card, it's a great combination. I don't travel quite enough to see the value in the Reserve, but I can see why many like it.

  • @sjg6158
    @sjg6158 2 роки тому +11

    I definitely believe one needs to have both one of the Freedom and one of the Sapphire cards to achieve max benefit. What's nice is that if the Sapphire card doesn't bring value after one year, you can downgrade perhaps, although you lose the redemption boost for travel.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +1

    great comparison Daniel. One little thing about CSP is that you also get 10% anniversary points boost
    each account anniversary, you’ll earn bonus points equal to 10% of your total purchases made the previous year. That means if you spend $25,000 on purchases, you’ll get 2,500 bonus points.*

Just because for $2,000 of annual spending on the CSP like I mentioned in my video example, that would only be 200 points or about $2. But it's still something like you said!

    Hey my friend! Hope all is well. This is an excellent video on a topic many people are curious about. Great job! I agree with your conclusion for most people, but for me personally, the CSR has proven to be better. I’ve had it for a few years, and the math (not to mention the slightly better insurances, etc) seems to give the CSR the advantage. This was particularly true during COVID. Chase did a good job of making cardholders “whole” with modifications to the $300 credit and the Pay Yourself Back feature. So, for now, I’m hanging on to the CSR. But as you said, you can’t really go wrong here, and the ability to product change as your life situation changes makes the decision pretty low risk. Sorry to be long winded today! :)

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +2

I'm leaning more toward the Delta Reserve card which gives you free lounge access and free seat upgrades for the same $550, first class is usually $1000 and the lounge is $50 to me that's worth the yearly cost. 20,000 points isn't much for tickets when most tickets nowadays are starting out at least at $300.

    1.5 on CSR vs 1.25 on CSP really doesn't matter: if you don't intend to transfer points, US Bank's Altitude Reserve wipes the floor with both CSP and CSR at EAF of $75.
    1. Better multipliers: 3x on dining, travel, and mobile wallet!!!
    2. Easier to redeem credit: the annual credit of $325 is automatically redeemed on travel and dining.
    3. Easier to redeem points: your points can be redeemed on travel purchases in realtime at 1.5cpp.
    4. Redeeming credit/points also earn points (3x)

  • @choreomaniac

    If you use your points for travel transfer partners like Hyatt or American, the travel portal isn’t very useful. I use my Chase trifecta almost exclusively to maintain my Globalist status at Hyatt. That doesn’t leave many days for other hotels. Maybe if in the future we fly more as a family but right now it doesn’t make much sense.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +3

      Yeah I'm the same way where I'm focusing my points to redeem for Hyatt stays to get what I think is the best value for Chase points. So I value the 1:1 transfer parters available on both cards more than the better redemption rates in the portal for the Reserve. So because of that - I go with the CSP!

    Hello Daniel, i'm looking into these card and I stumble on your video. Great video but I have a question. For the Preferred, the $50 hotel credit is for any website or Chase ultimate website only? you said look on other website for price comparison so I'm curious that $50 will apply to any hotel stay book with the card or through chase portal? thank you if you can answer this.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +3

    I have the CSP with the 100,000 welcome points. At the time I applied in a branch, they waived the first year $95 fee. I will keep this card until I start traveling more than 2-3 times a year. If I start traveling more after 4 years of activating my CSP, I will down grade to a freedom. Then I will apply for The CSR and get a welcome bonus.

    • @Daniel_Braun

    I think if you can take advantage of the waived fees due to being military, it makes more sense to get the CSR since is free with all the benefits. Then for gas just go with the USAA Amex… 5% on 3k for gas and military base purchases.

  • @EthanCowlbeck
    @EthanCowlbeck 2 роки тому +5

    I value UR points at more than 1.5 CPP anyway with Hyatt as a partner, so I don’t think the increased redemption rate of the CSR has any actual benefit over the CSP. Assuming a baseline increase of +.5 CPP from a no-AF setup to the CSP setup, you’d need to earn 9,000 UR points per year to cover the effective AF. That’s a pretty easy number to hit, and I think it makes it almost impossible for the CSR to ever win this

      I feel the same way with how I value my UR points with Hyatt being my most used transfer partner. I probably value mine at 2 to 2.5 CPP on the low end with Hyatt lately. That's why I've gone with the CSP as well for the past 3 years. For anyone that plans to take advantage of redeeming points like this, the CSP is the way to go!

    Great Video! Any reason you didn't mention Doordash benefits $60 ($5 per month, stack upto $15 every 3 months and spend) and Peleton $120 that you get with the CSR. Also, what value you put into Visa Infinite. For example, I have Shipt free until 2025 due to having CSR Visa Infinity, which I use to get free same day deliveries from Target often.

    • @Daniel_Braun
      @Daniel_Braun  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much! And basically I felt that those benefits are just minor details and only provide value for certain people that use those services. Lyft is something that I feel like more people use and it's related to travel and transportation which are common themes for the card.
      But I believe the Peloton benefit expires soon in June 2022 as well. The Doordash benefits are a nice little bonus that can be good to have, but probably won't be the dealbreaker for most people when deciding between these cards.
      And for Visa Infinite I feel the same way, it's very minor benefits that will be useful for some if they look into these details. That Shipt benefit could definitely be nice and convenient for you!

    Oh, and it doesn't help them get their payment since they decided to go paperless.
    AND, they still send me an email saying my payment is past due.
    My budget does not allow for a phone that I DO NOT WANT OR NEED.
    When we go to court the counter suit will be for pain and suffering for their decision to make it impossible to make a payment without a phone.
