Chase Travel allows users to book flights, hotels, rental cars, and vacation packages while earning or redeeming reward points.
If you’re a Chase cardholder, the Chase Travel portal is a powerful tool for booking flights while maximizing your points and perks. Here’s a complete guide to help you navigate the process.
Log in to your Chase account online or through the Chase mobile app.
Navigate to “Travel” under your card benefits.
This opens the Chase Travel portal, powered by Expedia, where you can search and book flights, hotels, rental cars, and more.
Enter your departure city, destination, travel dates, and passenger details.
The portal will display available flight options across multiple airlines.
You can filter by price, duration, airline, or number of stops to find the best fit.
Pay with points: Redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Depending on your card, points are worth:
1 cent each (standard value).
Up to 1.5–2 cents each if you hold premium cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Pay with cash: Use your Chase credit card directly.
Mix & match: Combine points and cash for flexibility.
Review flight details carefully (baggage policies, cancellation rules, seat selection).
Confirm your payment method.
Once booked, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your itinerary.
Earn points: Even when redeeming points, you may earn rewards on taxes/fees paid with your card.
Travel protections: Premium Chase cards often include trip cancellation insurance, lost luggage reimbursement, and travel assistance.
Exclusive offers: Look out for promotions like “Spend $600, Get $100” that can make your trip even more rewarding.
Compare portal prices with airline websites to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
Use points strategically—redeem them for high-value flights rather than low-cost tickets.
Book early to maximize availability, especially for international travel.
