5 Benefits of booking through Chase Travel
Booking travel through Chase Travel as a Chase cardmember offers several benefits, including:
1. Offers and discounts
Chase Travel often features special offers and travel benefits for Chase cardmembers. This can include lower fares or special hotel rates that may not be accessible elsewhere.
2. Accelerated rewards points
Some Chase cards, like the Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve cards, allow cardmembers to earn awards at an accelerated rate when booking through Chase Travel. For example, the Sapphire Reserve card earns 4x points when booking airfare and hotels directly, but 8x points when booking through Chase Travel.
To earn the reward points, you need to use your card to book travel in the portal. Redeeming points to cover all or a portion of your travel will not earn rewards.
3. Statement credits
Some Chase cards may provide statement credits for travel booked through Chase Travel. For example, the Chase Sapphire Preferred card offers up to $100 in annual statement credits for hotel stays purchased through Chase Travel. This credit will automatically be applied to your account when your card is used for hotel accommodations booked through Chase Travel.
