Confessions of a Points Amateur (And Why the Chase Sapphire Card Finally Made It Click)

My Final Thoughts (and Your Link!)

No credit card is perfect for everyone, but if you’re like me, traveling a bit more, trying to stretch your dollars, and eager to feel like you’re part of the points-and-perks club, the Chase Sapphire card is absolutely worth considering. This is what worked for me, but everyone’s travel style is different, always check the fine print.

Ready to try it?

Use my link and you’ll get 60,000 points to start your next trip, maybe to Italy or your dream spot! If you’re curious and want to check it out, here’s my link:

(Yes, I may earn some points if you sign up, which means more blog posts for you! But more importantly, you’ll earn points too. Win-win!)

As of now (June 2025) the current sign-up deal gives you 60,000 points after you spend $5,000 in purchases within the first 3 months. This is generally easy to do by switching your bills to be paid on this card (utilities, phone/internet, car insurance, subscriptions, etc), and putting any other regular purchases on it (groceries, gas, eating out, etc) until you reach the $5000.

For 60,000 points you could fly round trip on Southwest Airlines from San Francisco to Hawaii or Chicago!

Let me know if you end up getting it, and more importantly, where your points take you. Europe? Bali? A fancy hotel in Nashville?

Wherever it is, may your travel be smooth, your bags arrive on time, and your points game finally make sense.
