Would you pay Sapphire Reserve annual fee for me? In other case, title is totally misleading. Not nice at all.
I have Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card. Can I get Thrify Traveler or Thrifty Traveler Premium with this account for free or is there a charge?
Hey Sandra, our Premium flight deal alert service costs $45 per year – or you can try it by the month for $5.99. The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card does not have a travel credit, so using that card won’t make the service free. You will, however, still earn 2x point on your purchase!
