How do I get a Chase Sapphire Preferred referral bonus?

Question

One of the best cash bonus credit card offers is the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express. This card gives you $150 statement credit for spending $3,000 in the first 6 months. But there are tons of cash bonus credit cards that offer you money for meeting a spending requirement in the first few months. These cards are a good way to get a hefty rebate on your purchases at the start, especially if they also have no annual fee. But it’s important to remember that initial bonuses are just that – initial. You’ll want to choose a card that provides great everyday perks even after you earn the bonus.… read full answer

Here are some of the best cash bonus credit cards:

American Express Cash Magnet® Card

Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express

Capital One® Savor® Cash Rewards Credit Card

Chase Freedom Unlimited®

Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card

Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

Some cash bonus credit cards offer the same cash back rate on all purchases. Other cards give even higher earning rates in certain bonus categories – for example, gas or groceries.

You can get a Chase Sapphire Preferred referral bonus for each friend that you invite to apply for the same card and gets approved. The referral bonus is 15,000 points for every referral who is approved and the limit is 75,000 points per calendar year.

Whether you refer one friend or five, you’re still looking at a lot of value, especially for travel booked through Chase Ultimate Rewards. So, let’s talk about exactly how to earn it.

Here’s how to get a Chase Sapphire Preferred referral bonus:

Go to the Chase Sapphire Preferred Refer a Friend Page, or use Chase’s mobile app.
Provide the requested information and click “Continue”.
Share your personalized invitation link with friends via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail.

Keep in mind that it may take a while for bonus points to show up in your account. Chase says it takes up to 8 weeks; it will appear on your Chase Sapphire Preferred statement as a “Refer-A-Friend” bonus. So, maybe you shouldn’t count on using your referral bonus the next time you travel.

Lastly, you should know that Chase Sapphire Preferred isn’t the only Chase Credit Card with a referral bonus. You can see what other cards are in the mix on Chase’s Refer a Friend Page.

First off, you'll need to invite your friends. You can refer them via Facebook, Twitter or email. Then you get 15,000 bonus points for each friend who gets the card, and there's a maximum of 75,000 points you can earn per year.

Well, first off, get some friends with good credit! If you've got that one nailed, here's their refer a friend page: https://www.chase.com/referafriend/chasesapphirepreferred . They'll give you a link, you send it to your buddy. They do have to spend some money with the card within 3 months of getting it, and it takes like 2 months after that to see the bonus on your account, but the bonus is good.
