Introduction
If you hold a Chase credit card that earns Chase Ultimate Rewards® points, one of the most common questions is: what is the true cash value of your points when booking through Chase Travel? This guide explains everything — portal redemptions, transfer partner value, strategic examples, and common FAQs.
How Chase Values Points in the Chase Travel Portal
Chase operates a travel portal where you can redeem points for flights, hotels, cars, and experiences. The value of your points depends on the card you hold:
Premium cards: Typically redeem points at 1.25¢–1.5¢ per point.
Standard cards: Most redeem points at 1.0¢ per point.
Transfer Partners vs. Portal — Which Gives Better Value?
Transferring points to airline or hotel partners can unlock higher value than the portal, especially for premium cabin flights or luxury hotel stays. Some redemptions can exceed 2–5¢ per point. However, the portal is better when cash fares are low or when you need simplicity and flexibility.
Example Value Calculations
• Portal booking (1.25¢ value): 40,000 points × 1.25¢ = $500 in travel.
• Partner transfer redemption: 40,000 points for a $2,000 premium seat = 5¢ per point.
Factors That Impact Point Value
Card benefits and portal multipliers.
Award availability on transfer partners.
Taxes and carrier‑imposed fees.
Refundability, flexibility, and ease of booking.
Peak travel dates and cash fare fluctuations.
Tips to Maximize Value
Know your card’s portal redemption multiplier.
Always verify partner award pricing before transferring points.
Use the portal for inexpensive cash fares or simple itineraries.
Leverage sweet spots in partner award charts.
Mix cash + points when beneficial.
