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!
Would you pay Sapphire Reserve annual fee for me? In other case, title is totally misleading. Not nice at all.
“Free” is a fancy way of saying spend your travel credit on us.
