I love Chase Ultimate Rewards. Lisa and I both signed up for the Chase Sapphire Card and received 50,000 points each. With 100,000 points total, we were able to:
- transfer points to Amtrak Rewards and book a sleeper car from New Orleans to Los Angeles to Portland. (unfortunately, Amtrak is no longer a partner and points cannot be transferred to Amtrak)
- transfer points to Hyatt and book free stays in Cleveland, OH; Vancouver, BC; Charleston, SC; and upcoming trips to Cabo San Lucas and Phoenix, AZ.
We still have about 50,000 points to use, which will come in handy for our trips in 2017 to transfer to other travel partners. How might we spend them? This article provides a bunch of different scenarios, which makes this a bookmarked travel tip favorite for future reference!
