Missed the last offer? Jump on the new Sapphire Preferred 75K bonus
Chase Sapphire Preferred: Earn 75,000 points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening.
It's not as high as the recent 100,000-point bonus, but it's better than the standard offer and well worth considering if you're in the market for one of the best travel credit cards available.
Read more about the new Chase Sapphire card eligibility requirements to see if you qualify for a Chase Sapphire welcome bonus.
We calculate Chase Ultimate Rewards points to be worth about 2.05 cents per point, which means 75,000 points would be worth about $1,537.50.
Note that your actual redemption value may be lower or higher than this, depending on how you redeem your points. In general, we find some of the best-value options for Chase points are redeeming them toward travel, including premium flights and hotel stays with transfer partners.
See an overview of credit card transfer partners.The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of the best travel credit cards available for good reason. It has a low annual fee, an elevated rewards rate, and the opportunity to earn a valuable and flexible travel rewards currency.
It's such a good card, we've rated it as the overall best credit card for rewards.
That being said, there are better cards if you prefer earning cash-back rewards or if you want premium travel benefits, such as airport lounge access. The Sapphire Preferred makes sense for all types of travelers, but it's not going to have the same access to exclusive perks as the luxury travel cards, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Market records, liquidity concerns, ethereum surges: Market takeaways
The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) and S&P 500 (^GSPC) both closed at record highs on Wednesday. Yahoo Finance Market and Data Editor Jared Blikre shares his trading day takeaways, including why investors may want to keep an eye out for a liquidity crunch and ethereum (ETH-USD) closing in on a new record. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Asking for a Trend. More record closes to end the trading day. Yahoo Finance's Jared Blikre joining me now with that and more on the trading day takeaways, Jared. We got to go with records galore because we have seen a lot of them recently and these things tend to cluster. And so let's take a look at the Nasdaq and, well, this is a Dow. Let's go to the Nasdaq composite. Just had its 20th of the year. This chart here is 87 days. This is since since that April 8th bottom and 42%, that was one of the most blistering rea rallies that we've ever seen in the index right off of those scary lows. S&P 500, this will be number 17 for the year. So that's up 30%. And you can go down the pike here. Russell 2000 small caps are just higher than that, 32%. And you can see they recently broke out here. So, I'm a little bit, and by the way, I don't want to suggest that the Russell 2000 is in records right now. It has a little ways to go, but um, just kind of surveying the market overall. We're seeing this in a broad number of areas. So I can go to XL C that ticked off another record today, number 11 for the year. That has meta, that also has alphabet in it. Then we have the value, VLUE. That just kind of exploded. That has four record highs now. And then a bunch of individual stocks. I can go down the list, but there's a lot of them. So that has me kind of excited right now. I always you to take a deep breath, think about potential downside risk. What would they be? Yes. You asked me that at the 3:00 p.m. hour, right at the beginning. I thought that was a great question, so I wanted to explore this. Um, I'm going to talk about liquidity. Is it going to be trapped right now? But just kind of to kind of back up a minute, what could be going wrong in the market that we have to worry about? We just passed some really big tests for the market. We had, uh, what was not a great jobs report last Friday, but we ended up much higher, you know, in the intervening days. We had a CPI report yesterday that was actually pretty good for the markets. Uh, that propelled a lot of markets to record highs. So if it's not the macro reports, what is it? Is it valuation? That is a longer-term story. The markets can be, uh, overvalued for long periods of time. And so one of the things I'm looking at is liquidity. And a really interesting phenomenon that's going on right now that's way under the radar, the Treasury has an account at the Federal Reserve, and they have said that they're going to build that up by $400 billion over the next eight weeks. And so that's $400 billion that's going to be taken out of the system. When this has happened before, sometimes it's caused a liquidity crunch. Sometimes that has spilled over into risk assets. And so this information was brought to me my attention by Alfonso Picotello of the macro compass. And here's a quote from his latest report. The $400 billion plus increase in eight weeks could be one of the most aggressive treasury general account. That's that Treasury account at the Fed rebuilds over the last 10 years. And so that's what I'm paying attention to. I would also add, you weren't here yesterday, but I got to break down the VIX seasonality with Ali Kanal. Historically, the VIX tends to rise at this period of the year into October. That so we could have a market crash, but that's just history. Doesn't speak anything else to like current fundamentals or anything. Should we talk crypto? Can we talk crypto? Because ether is going to the moon. 4,500 was my last hold out. It's not a record high for Ethereum, but it just passed that with blazing colors. And I'm going to show you a chart here. Let me get to our crypto map and I'll put a longer-term Ethereum chart so I can show you the resistance that it just cleared. Here's six years and here is this multi-year consolidation about a year and a half that we just broke out of. And it has only taken a few days to climb from basically 4,000 to 4,700. And if I put some candlesticks, you will see the intraday high. We are right there at the Rubicon. So, almost, uh, record highs for Ethereum that we're looking at right now. This has important implications. Stable coins are in the news, the Genius Act and everything. Ethereum is kind of the layer that makes that enables all of that. You can have other layers, but Ethereum seems to be the winner here. Market is taking taking note and we also have all these companies. You know, we know Steve Sailor's company strategy is buying Bitcoin. Now we have companies buying ether. So I think that's part of a new trend and that's just getting me bullish on crypto. That's anything you're on the dollar. What you're seeing. Dollar has been heading down recently. And, uh, that's not necessarily bad for the markets. That can be a risk on move. Sometimes when you have the dollar going down, what you don't want is to see, uh, bonds also getting sold, which means yields are going up. So you want to see the dollar going down with yields, and that's what happened today. Now, around liberation day, that was kind of towards the left of part of your chart there, that was a different story. You had the dollar index going opposite yields, and that was a case of the whole world trying to get rid of all these, uh, dollars and dollar denominated assets. So far, this looks like just another risk market kind of, uh, tailwind. So I'm going to take it for what it is. If it crashes, it's not good, but just a little bit of downside is not bad. All right, well on there. Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it. You bet you.

'Do Not Put Your Rainy Day Money In A Stablecoin — Any Stablecoin' Says Suze Orman
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Financial expert Suze Orman has a clear warning for savers: keep your emergency fund far away from stablecoins — even the ones considered reputable. Speaking on her "Women & Money" podcast, Orman explained what stablecoins are, why new regulations aim to make them safer, and why she still doesn't think they belong in your rainy-day stash. What Exactly Is a Stablecoin? A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a one-to-one value with a traditional asset — typically the U.S. dollar. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which can swing wildly in price, stablecoins aim to stay steady. Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. "It's digital cash that lives on the internet on a blockchain," Orman said, adding that the idea is to combine the speed and flexibility of crypto with the predictability of the dollar. But not all stablecoins have historically been backed by actual dollars or other safe assets. "Up until recently, there were no federal rules for stablecoins," she noted. Orman said anyone could create one, claim it was backed, and convince people to use it. Without oversight, some collapsed — and investors lost money. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. The Genius Act: A New Era of Regulation In July, Congress passed the GENIUS Act, the first U.S. law regulating stablecoins. The legislation requires issuers to maintain proper reserves, undergo regular audits, and follow anti-money-laundering rules. Orman called it a "game changer" for oversight, but cautioned listeners not to assume regulation automatically makes stablecoins a smart choice for savings. "Just because something is legal doesn't make it smart for you," she said. She advised waiting to see how companies comply with the law before considering use. Why They Don't Belong in Your Emergency Fund For emergency savings, Orman recommends Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured high-yield savings accounts, U.S. Treasuries, or money market funds — not stablecoins. "Do not put your rainy-day money in a stablecoin, any stablecoin," she emphasized. Her reasoning: stablecoins are not investments and still carry risks, including potential loss of value if the backing assets fail or if the issuing company collapses. Even with regulation, there's no substitute for federally insured cash savings when it comes to emergency You Must Use One, Choose Carefully While she doesn't encourage buying stablecoins, Orman acknowledged that some people may still want to use them for transactions or transfers. If so, she prefers USDC, issued by Circle (NYSE:CRCL) in partnership with Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN). USDC is fully backed by cash and short-term U.S. Treasuries, publishes monthly audited reserve reports, and complies with transparency requirements. PayPal USD is another option she mentioned, but USDC remains her top choice for now. The Bottom Line Stablecoins could become part of everyday life in the near future, potentially powering faster payroll deposits, cheaper wire transfers, and quicker investment settlements. But Orman's message is clear: they're tools, not a place to grow or protect your savings. "You are to ignore the hype and you are to ignore the fear," she advised. "Stay protected as this new system takes shape." Read Next: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a ?
