When a sports enthusiast set out to visit all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums as a 16-year-old, they anticipated significant costs and logistical challenges. However, a single credit card has become central to their strategy, facilitating visits to 20 stadiums so far. This accessible journey owes much to the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, and particularly to its 100,000 bonus points offer, which is valued by The Points Guy at over $2,000.
The cardholder notes the practicality of using "Chase Ultimate Rewards points" to significantly reduce hotel expenses. The option to convert points into "high-value hotel stays" in various cities is especially beneficial. "Chase has three hotel transfer partners, but arguably, the best is World of Hyatt," they explain, citing the generous transfer ratio and award chart.
This strategy has proven particularly useful in cities like Cleveland, known for unexpectedly high hotel rates. "Some of my best redemptions have actually come from mid-size cities with surprisingly high hotel prices," the cardholder adds.
