Our Verdict
We saw a similar deal earlier in the year for 60,000 points, but only required $8,000 instead of $10,000 spend. We also saw this same offer late last year. Most people won’t be eligible due to the 5/24 rule, but with the introduction of the Sapphire 48 rule I’m guessing more and more people are using a 5/24 slot on this card. If you can use United miles then this is as good as this offer gets and it makes sense to sign up. Because of that I will be adding this to our best credit card bonus post. If you have any questions about this card or Chase cards read this post first as your questions are most likely answered.
