Improved Chase Sapphire Preferred Offer Available Through Referrals
A few days ago, Chase improved the welcome bonus for the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, adding a $50 credit for grocery purchases. Then, that offer got even better in-branch, since Chase is waiving the annual fee for the card for the first year. And now it just got even better. Referrals are showing the same offer that is publicly available online and even though the annual fee is not waived, the referral bonus more than makes up for it. Let’s see the details.

Conclusion
The Chase Sapphire Preferred card usually has a 60,000 points bonus, although we saw an offer for 80,000 late last year.
This time around there’s also an extra $50 statement credit for groceries on top of the regular bonus. The best option now is to apply through a referral link, if a friend or family member getting the points is as good as you receiving them.
You would be getting 60,000 points plus the $50 grocery credit, and the person referring you gets another 15K points. That’s better than the in-branch offer that waived the annual fee the first year.
