Brian Kelly here, coming to you from Tuscany, where it’s a bit on the warm side, but we’re having a great family holiday all the same.

I hope you’re also enjoying a slightly slower-paced long weekend, so while we all hopefully have a little more time, I wanted to be sure you heard straight from me on two things:

• Why I think this limited-time 100,000-point offer on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card — earned after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening — is one of the best offers we’ll see all year on one of TPG’s most-recommended travel cards.


• And I also want to offer a tip in case it’s not the right offer for you right now (skip to the end if that’s you).

Since we know historic bonuses like this don’t typically stick around for long, I want to be sure everyone is aware that a couple of weeks ago, Chase launched this limited-time offer that's firmly in my "drop what you're doing and seriously consider it" category.

I've spent nearly 20 years helping people get started with points and miles, and if someone asked me today where I'd begin, this offer would be at the top of my list.

This is only the third time in the last 17 years that the Sapphire Preferred has offered a 100,000-point welcome bonus after meeting the spending requirement.

And those 100,000 points are worth about $2,050 (based on TPG’s July 2026 valuations), absolutely remarkable for a card with just a $95 annual fee.

The Sapphire Preferred has long been one of my favorite cards because Chase points are so flexible and valuable. You can redeem them through Chase Travel℠ directly for hotels, flights and more, transfer them to Chase’s 14 airline and hotel partners or use a combination of both, which is exactly what I often do.

In fact, one of the Chase airline transfer partners is Air France-KLM Flying Blue, and we’re using that to fly home from Europe in lie-flat seats we booked for 60,000 miles transferred to that program (plus taxes and fees). With 100,000 bonus points, you'd almost have enough for two one-way lie-flat seats at that redemption rate.

Whether it's your first award flight, your next "free" hotel stay or your first time flying in a lie-flat seat, 100,000 bonus points can make it happen.

And if you're new to all of this, your first award redemption might just be what I call the "aha moment." Trust me — it's addictive in all the best ways.

So if you're eligible (and here’s how to check), I'd take a serious look now. 100,000-point Sapphire Preferred offers are rare, and if history repeats itself, it won’t be around for much longer.

One more thing.

You'll probably hear us mention this offer again while it's available because I genuinely think it's that good.

But if you already have the card, aren't eligible for the bonus or simply don't want extra emails about the Sapphire Preferred, I get that, too.

Click below, and we'll stop sending you special emails about this offer. You'll still get your regular TPG newsletters and updates that you’re subscribed to — we'll simply leave you off any extra Sapphire Preferred 100,000-point offer emails we send out (yes, like this one).

Thanks for being part of the TPG community. Safe travels, have a great rest of your weekend and congrats if you grab these 100,000 points!
