DH and I each got the Chase Sapphire preferred cards in 2021. I redeemed my bonus but he hasn’t yet. I got online to use some of his points to book some of our stays, rental cars, etc in Croatia. I was surprised to see that their rates were not competitive, such that their 25% premium they add to your points when you redeem for travel result in the same or higher net price rather than just going to booking.com or the hotel/rental car website directly.
Has anyone else seen this? I was surprised because this card is highly regarded as being a good value for travel. Is that just because of the insurance benefit?
Speaking of insurance, I’m not sure this card completely covers travel insurance needs. It appears it covers trip cancellation or interruption and collision damage on rental cars, but not travel medical insurance or liability insurance for rental cars. Is this accurate?
