Chase Sapphire Preferred Card vs. Capital One Venture X Rewards Card: Which card is better for travel?

You can redeem rewards from both credit cards in a number of different ways.

Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card

Cardholders may redeem their points at 1 cent each for gift cards or cash.

You can increase the value per point by redeeming via the Chase Ultimate Reward(r) portal. The 60,000-point bonus will be worth $750 if you choose this redemption option.

Transferring your points to Chase's airline and hotel partners is the most valuable option. Transferring points to Chase's partners can yield a higher value than transferring them to yourself, especially if your goal is to use the points for luxury travel.
