You can use the Chase travel portal to book flights, hotels, and activities just about anywhere in the world.
  • The Chase Travel℠ portal is an online travel agency that lets you pay with Ultimate Rewards points.
  • You can use points, cash, or a combination of both to book flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. 
  • Several Chase cards offer better redemption values or bonus points when you book through the portal.

Introduction to Chase Travel℠

The Chase Travel℠ portal is an online booking platform for flights, hotels, rental cars, cruises, activities, and vacation rentals, similar to an online travel agency (OTA). If you're a Chase Ultimate Rewards® cardholder, you can use points to book travel through the portal — or pay with your card or a combination of points and cash. 

Overview of Chase Travel and Ultimate Rewards benefits

Chase Travel℠ offers one of the most straightforward redemption opportunities for your Chase Ultimate Rewards. Chase boasts one of the most flexible and lucrative credit card rewards programs, and points earned on some travel cards are worth up to 50% more when redeemed through Chase Travel℠.

Here's everything you need to know about booking airfare, hotels, and more through the Chase travel portal — and how to make the most of your Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

What is the Chase Travel portal?

The Chase Travel℠ portal is an online platform that acts as a third-party travel broker similar to Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, or Priceline. Through Chase Travel℠, you can book hotels, flights, rental cars, cruises, and vacation packages. You can choose to pay with one of your linked credit cards, or use your Ultimate Rewards balance to defray the cost. 

You must be a Chase credit card customer to use Chase Travel℠ to book with cash or points — in fact, you can only access the Chase travel portal when you log into your account management page with Chase.

Benefits of using Chase Travel

One of the primary benefits of using Chase Travel℠ is you can spend the rewards points you earn directly on the travel you want without having to worry about dealing with specific hotel or airline loyalty programs. Chase Travel℠ allows you to book travel directly with Chase Ultimate Rewards points, use your credit card to pay, or combine the two.

There are a few other key benefits to understand as well:

You'll still earn airline miles and work toward elite airline status

You won't earn points or elite night credits when you book a hotel stay with Chase Travel℠ because it's considered a third-party booking. However, you can earn airline and elite-qualifying miles on flights booked through Chase, as long as your frequent flyer number is attached to the reservation. (You can usually add that number, as well as your Known Traveler 

Points are worth more on certain Chase credit cards

With a no-annual-fee card like the Chase Freedom Flex® or Chase Freedom Unlimited®, your points are worth 1 cent each toward travel booked through the portal.

But if you have a Chase travel credit card like the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card, you'll get 25% to 50% more value when you redeem your points for travel, plus the ability to transfer your points to Chase airline and hotel partners.

You can combine the points earned on the Chase Freedom Flex® or Chase Freedom Unlimited® with one of these travel cards: Points redeemed through the Chase Sapphire Reserve® are worth 1.5 cents apiece through Chase Travel℠, while points redeemed through the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card are worth 1.25 cents apiece. 

Some Chase cards also offer bonus points for paid bookings you make through the portal. Chase offers lucrative bonus categories on flights, hotels, and car rentals booked through the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, up to 10x Ultimate Rewards points per dollar.

The Chase Travel portal is easy to use

If you don't want to deal with many hotel and airline award charts, booking through Chase Travel℠ can help keep your rewards game simple. You'll always be able to use your points for any booking you want without worrying about blackout dates or capacity controls you would normally encounter with loyalty programs.

Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards

To use Chase Travel℠, you must have a Chase credit card that earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points

No-annual-fee Chase credit cards available to new applicants: 

Points earned on these cards are worth 1 cent each when redeemed through Chase Travel℠.

Chase travel rewards credit cards:

Points earned on these cards are worth more when redeemed through Chase Travel℠. You can also transfer Ultimate Rewards from these cards to more than a dozen airline and hotel partners, potentially for significantly more value. 

Combining Chase points for increased value

You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points between accounts if you hold more than one Chase card. It makes the most sense to pool your points in the account that gives you the best redemption value — for example, if you pair the Chase Freedom Unlimited® and Chase Sapphire Reserve®, moving all of your Chase Ultimate Rewards to your Chase Sapphire Reserve® account will increase the value of your points when you redeem through Chase Travel℠.

To pool your points onto one card, log into your Chase online account, navigate to the "Redeem" section for your Chase Ultimate Rewards card, then select the option to combine points in the "Earn/Use" tab:

You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points between your Chase credit cards in your online account.

From there, you can move your Chase points between accounts in any increment.

Points value in Chase Travel

Certain Chase credit cards offer a bonus for redeeming points through Chase Travel℠. Here's how much your points are worth with each Chase card:

Chase credit cardValue per point through Chase Travel℠

Chase Sapphire Reserve®

1.5 cents

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

1.25 cents

Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card

Chase Freedom Unlimited®

Chase Freedom Flex®

1 cent

Chase Freedom Rise℠

1 cent

Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card

Ink Business Cash® Credit Card

While these redemption rates are generous, you may get even more value by transferring your points to airline and hotel partners since Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth, on average, 1.8 cents apiece based on Business Insider's points and miles valuations.

How to use Chase Travel

Using Chase Travel℠ is a breeze, but it all starts with logging into your online account management page. From there, you'll click on the right side of your screen where it shows your Chase Ultimate Rewards account balance. 

Once you click on the account balance, you'll have the option to select the card you want to access. And remember, this step can be important because some cards give you more value from your points when you redeem them for travel.

When you click your Chase Ultimate Rewards balance, select the card account that gives you the most value through the travel portal.

How to book a flight through Chase Travel

Once logged into your Chase Ultimate Rewards account, you'll see different travel options to search for at the top of the page.

Searching on the Chase travel portal is similar to searching with other Online Travel Agencies.

To search for a flight, ensure you're on the "Flights" tab before searching for the flight you want. Enter your departure airport, destination, travel dates, and the number of passengers.

Once your flight options appear on the screen, you can filter your results by the number of stops, the airlines you want to fly with, and the arrival times.

Note that each of your flight options will include a payment amount in points and a cash price. 

The Chase travel portal shows prices in both points and cash.

You can also click on "Details and baggage fees" to find out the cost of carry-on luggage or checked baggage, as well as whether your flight charges any change fees.

When you click "Select" a flight option, you'll see a list of what is and isn't included in your selected fare. You may also see a note that you can upgrade before you check out.

Chase's travel portal will show any fare restrictions and what's included with your ticket.

Once you settle on a flight you want, you'll be taken to the "Trip Details" page that shows the final cost of your flight in points or cash, as well as a summary of the added costs you may be charged for baggage or change fees.

Check your trip details for a summary of additional costs, like checked baggage fees.

After you agree to the terms, you'll be taken to a final payment page where you can decide how you want to pay. You can cover your flight entirely in points if you want, but you can also choose to pay with your Chase credit card or a combination of points and your credit card.
With the Chase travel portal, you can pay with points, cash, or a combination of both.

During the booking process, add your frequent flyer number to your reservation so you can earn miles on your booking and have your flight count toward elite status requirements. You'll also want to add your Known Traveler Number or Redress number if you have one. However, if you forget this step during booking, you can add your frequent flyer information to your flight through the airline's website.

How to book a hotel through Chase Travel

Booking a hotel through Chase is similarly easy, and you'll find a lot of different types of lodging options available. For example, you'll find properties from major hotel brands, but you'll also find rental condo options and boutique hotels.

To search for a hotel,  enter the destination, dates, and the number of people you want to have in your room. Once you're presented with options, you can filter hotels based on the hotel name you're looking for, the area or neighborhood, price point, guest rating, property type, and more. 

Once again, you'll see a price listed in points and a cash price per night.

Searching for hotels in the Chase travel portal is similar to finding flights.

These prices do not include taxes and fees, however, so your price in points or cash will be higher by the time you get to the final booking page. The price listed is the lowest you can get for the property, but better or upgraded rooms and suites will cost more in points.

The major downside to booking a hotel through the Chase portal is that you won't earn hotel points or elite night credits for your stay, because it's considered a third-party booking. There's also a risk that the property won't recognize your hotel elite status or give you the perks you'd normally be entitled to, like late checkout or free breakfast. This shouldn't be an issue if you're booking an independent or boutique hotel, but it's something to be aware of if you're looking for hotel points or status.

You'll have the option to select a hotel you want and a room type at the property you're considering. You can also pay with your booking with points, your Chase credit card, or combine both payment methods. 

How to book a rental car through Chase Travel

You can also book a rental car through Chase Travel℠ using the same steps. Once you log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards account, click on "Cars" and select the destination and dates.

To search for a car rental through the Chase travel portal, enter your city and travel dates.
Once you are presented with your search results, you can select the types of cars you prefer, like an economy car or an SUV. You can also filter results based on a price range, the number of passengers you have, the rental car company, and the type of transmission you prefer (manual or automatic), as well as the total area you want to search in. 
Chase will show you the cost in points or cash for your car rental.

Note that, once again, taxes and fees are not included on the initial search page. Instead, they are added to your total cost when you select a rental car. You can also pay for a rental car through Chase with points, your credit card, or a combination of the two.

How to book activities with Chase Travel

Chase also lets you book various activities through the portal, which they call "Things to Do." Chase activities can include excursions like snorkeling or scuba diving, as well as tours of museums and historic sites. But you can also book more practical options through their activities tab, including airport pickups and other types of transportation.

You might not know you can use Chase Ultimate Rewards points to book tours and ground transportation.

To search for activities, enter the destination and dates for your trip. You'll be shown a price in points and in cash that does include taxes and fees. You can also filter options based on the type of activity, your interests, and more. Once again, you have the option to pay for activities with your points, your credit card, or a combination of the two.

How to book a cruise through Chase Travel

If you're a cruise enthusiast, you can also book cruises through Chase Travel℠. When you select "Cruises" at the top of the Chase Ultimate Rewards search page, you'll be presented with a list of featured cruises and cruise specials.

To use Chase points toward a cruise booking, you'll have to call.

You can also search for cruises by destination or cruise line name. Note, however, that only cash prices are listed for each cruise on the portal and that you'll have to call Chase to make a booking.

Either way, you can use your Chase points to pay for all or part of your cruise. Just have your credit card number handy and call their customer service line at 855-234-2542.

How to book a vacation rental through Chase Travel

Chase also offers a selection of vacation rentals including condos, luxury villas, and more. To search, click "Vacation Rentals" at the top of the main page, then enter your destination, dates, and the number of people in your party.

Once you start your search, you'll have the option to filter results based on the local neighborhood you want, star ratings, price range, guest rating, property type, and more. Like hotels through Chase, the price you are shown excludes taxes and fees, but they will be added to your total once you make a selection.

Also be aware that the price shown in your search results is for the lowest-tier option for each property, and that a larger rental or upgraded rental may cost more in points.

You'll have the option to pay for your vacation rental with your Chase points or credit card.

When you book vacation rentals through Chase, you can pay with points, your Chase card, or a combination of the two. 

Use Chase Travel to book Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection properties

If you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, you can book properties within the Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection. This list of more than 1,000 properties can be reserved ahead of time, and you'll get extra benefits with each stay such as:

  • Daily breakfast for two
  • A special benefit worth up to $100
  • Complimentary internet access
  • Room upgrades when available
  • Early check-in and late checkout
Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders can book the Luxury Hotel and Resort Collection, but there's no option to pay with points.

One detail to note with this program is the fact that you cannot pay with points. Instead, your online booking will reserve your room, and you'll be charged for the stay when you check out from the hotel. 

Should you transfer Chase points instead?

While you can book travel directly through Chase Travel℠, many people prefer transferring points to Chase airline and hotel partners. Doing so could let you get more value for each point you redeem, but you'll have to run the numbers to find out for sure.

Here's a good example of how transferring points to a Chase airline or hotel partner can be a better deal, as well as the math you'll need to do to figure this out on your own. Take this one-way flight on Air France from Chicago to Paris, for example, and assume you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card. You're getting 50% more value when you redeem points through Chase Travel℠ using points on this card. 

Always compare the cost of booking a flight with points to the number of points you'd need to transfer for an award flight.

If you were to book this flight through Chase Travel℠, you would owe 39,607 points with the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, compared with the cash price of $594.10.

However, you could book an award ticket on the exact same flight through Flying Blue (Air France's loyalty program) directly if you transferred your Chase points there first. In this case, the identical flight would set you back 22,000 miles plus $109.44. This means you would transfer 22,000 miles from Chase to your Flying Blue account, and pay the taxes and fees in cash, or by redeeming points for a statement credit to your account.

In some cases, you'll save a lot of points by transferring to a Chase airline or hotel partner.

When you compare, you'll find that booking with miles directly is a better deal. After subtracting the taxes and fees from the cost of booking through Flying Blue, you wind up with a value of around 2.2 cents per mile.

With Chase Travel℠, on the other hand, you're forking over 39,607 points for the same flight, and you're getting a value of 1.5 cents for each point if you have the Chase Sapphire Reserve®. 

Chase Travel portal frequently asked questions

How do I access Chase Travel?

Accessing Chase Travel℠ is simple. If you're a Chase credit cardholder with Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can log in to your Chase online account. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Travel" or "Rewards" section, where you'll find the Chase travel portal. From there, you can search and book flights, hotels, and other travel services using your earned points or card benefits. It's a convenient way to plan and manage your travel adventures.

What is Chase Travel?

Chase Travel℠ is the travel booking and rewards platform offered by Chase Bank. It's part of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program, allowing cardholders to use their earned points to book flights, hotels, car rentals, and other travel-related expenses. Chase Travel℠ provides a convenient way to plan and book trips while taking advantage of the rewards and benefits associated with Chase credit cards.

How do I get 5% on Chase Travel?

To earn 5% on Chase Travel℠, consider using a Chase credit card with bonus rewards on travel purchases. Cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve often offer 5 points per dollar spent on travel booked through the Chase travel portal. Additionally, taking advantage of limited-time promotions and special offers can also help you maximize your rewards when booking travel with Chase.

Maximizing rewards through Chase Travel

The Chase travel portal offers another way to maximize rewards earned with a Chase credit card. Before you pull the trigger, consider all your options and the value you're getting for your points.

Remember that, no matter which Chase credit card you have, you can use your rewards points in other ways. You can redeem Chase points for statement credits or cash back, or cash them in for gift cards or merchandise. And if you have a premier Chase travel credit card, you can transfer your points to Chase airline and hotel partners at a 1:1 ratio.

However, booking travel through Chase can make your life considerably easier — especially if you don't like dealing with complicated hotel and airline programs. You may not get as much value from your points as you would if you booked a premium flight with airline miles, but the Chase travel portal does offer the flexibility to book the flight you want without any blackout dates or hoops to jump through.
