To qualify, your referrals must take place by January 31, 2014, and then the people you refer just need to apply for the card and use it by May 31, 2014 in order for it to count.If you read my site, you know that Chase Ultimate Rewards points, which you earn with both of these cards, are some of my favorite because of the program’s great travel transfer partners including United, Southwest, British Airways, Hyatt, Marriott and more. The Sapphire Preferred is my go-to personal travel credit card because of great features like earning 2X points on travel and dining, a 7% annual points dividend, and no foreign transaction fees.Although the Freedom is a more basic card, it’s still a great product that I carry myself because it earns 5X points at a quarterly rotating roster of merchants up to $1,500 per quarter ($6,000 per year), plus it gives cardholders a 10% points dividend on all points, including bonus ones, so you can use it to really start raking in the points.Sign up for our daily newsletterEmail addressSign upI would like to subscribe to The Points Guy newsletters and special email promotions.
