Chase Sapphire Preferred Teams Up With OpenTable for First Friday Promotion

Today, Chase Bank announced that they would be teaming up with the popular online restaurant reservation website OpenTable for a First Friday promotion beginning May 3rd. According to a press release, Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders can earn 3 points  for every dollar spent dining out on the first Friday of every month. Currently, Chase Sapphire Preferred rewards consumers with 2 points per dollar spent on restaurant and travel purchases, so the First Friday promotion would include an additional one point per dollar.

Chase Sapphire® Card Review: Flexible Rewards & No Annual Fee

It's becoming increasingly difficult these days to find no annual fee credit cards that offer flexible yet competitive rewards programs. Chase, however, with its launch of the Sapphire Card a few years ago, is doing its best to fill the void. And while this card probably isn't for the hardcore frequent flier who only cares about one thing - racking up serious miles to redeem for free travel - the Chase Sapphire® Card is definitely a great option for consumers with good credit who want to use their card for travel while retaining the ability to trade points in for cash, gift cards, or other merchandise.

Free Checking: Another One Bites the Dust

I've had a free checking account with WAMU (now Chase) since 2004. And while I've never used it as my primary checking account, I did maintain a decent balance while running several transactions through it each month. Frankly, it was just nice to have around when I needed it, and I probably would've never thought about closing my account had it not been for a letter I received from Chase a few weeks ago.
