Many travelers love redeeming Chase Ultimate Rewards Points for hotel stays through the Chase Travel℠ portal. CHASE SAPPHIRE Reserve® (see rates and rates) Cardales members obtain a redemption value of 1.5 cents per point in doing so, while CHASE SAPPHIRE PREFERRED® card (see rates and rates) and Ink Business Prefered® credit card (see rates and rates) Cardales members obtain 1.25 cents per point.
However, if you have one of these three cards, you can also transfer your persecution points to select hotels loyalty programs – IHG A reward, Marriott Bonvoy and Hyatt world – With a 1: 1 relationship and redeem points through that program for your stay.

It is relatively easy to reserve a stay regardless of whether reserves through the Persecution Portal or transfer points to a hotel loyalty program and then redeem through that program, so the ease of reserve should not be a factor. However, by deciding how redeem persecution points for a hotel stayThere are two important aspects to consider. So, let’s immerse ourselves.
Points are required for stay
The easiest way to determine if you should transfer persecution points to a Hotel loyalty program Or reserve a hotel through Chase Travel is to compare the amount of points you would need to exchange.
If you want to reserve a specific property of Hyatt, IHG or Marriott, you can compare the cost of the points through the Chase’s travel portal with the cost of the property points if it is redeemed through the hotel loyalty program.
For example, I could transfer 5,000 Chase Ultimate rewards to Hyatt and then redeem 5,000 Hyatt points for tonight at Hyatt Place Atlanta – North airport.
But if I wanted to book through Chase Travel using points of me Chase Sapphire preferred card Account, I would need to exchange 9,646 persecution points for the same night.
In this case, it would obtain a better value per Transfer persecution points to Hyatt and reserve an award through the World of Hyatt program.

If you do not have a specific property that you want to book, you can still compare your options by choosing a property through Chase Travel and making the properties awards that can be reserved through Mariott, IHG and Hyatt. This will allow you to compare your options and the amount of persecution points you would need to exchange for each one.

BENEFITS OF THE FIDELIZATION PROGRAM
The second aspect to consider are the benefits of the loyalty program when it reserves directly, even in awards. For example, I appreciate benefits due to my Hotel elite status When I reserve directly with Hyatt, Marriott and IHG. In addition, I like to win elite qualifying nights to requalify by elite status with these programs. After all, all these programs provide elite qualifying nights, even in awards.
In general, you will not obtain benefits from the elite loyalty and profits program when you reserve through an online travel agency like Chase Travel, with the exception of Select Properties reserved through the Chase Travel edition. Therefore, I use Chase’s trips to book hotels outside the main hotel programs, such as boutique or independent hotels.

End
Comparing your options is important and can allow you to get more value from your Chase Ultimate rewards.
For example, my sister -in -law has the preferred chase Sapphire and was going to reserve a one -night stay during a road trip through the Chase Travel portal for about 20,000 persecution points. Before she did, I found a comparable Property of category 1 Hyatt That only cost him 5,000 points for the same night if he transferred persecution points to Hyatt and then Rated Hyatt points For your stay. In this case, he kept around 15,000 persecution points simply by transferring points to Hyatt instead of booking through the Chase Travel portal.
However, it is also worth remembering that it can transfer chase rewards points to several airline loyalty programs. See the following stories for more information on how to maximize your refunds:
