What is Shop and Earn?
Shop and Earn is an online shopping portal within Chase Ultimate Rewards where eligible cardmembers can earn bonus Ultimate Rewards points on eligible purchases. Browse through a variety of participating retailers such as Macy’s®, Best Buy® and Home Depot® to make your desired purchase and earn points along the way. Let’s get into more details about this portal below.
Who can use Shop and Earn?
Chase Freedom®, Ink® and Sapphire® cardmembers are eligible to use Shop and Earn. Note that you cannot use co-branded cards. See your Rewards Program Agreement online for more details about your Chase co-branded cards.
How does Shop and Earn work?
To use Shop and Earn, you will need to access the portal by going through either the Chase website or the Chase Mobile® app (more on this later).
From there, you can review brands that are eligible for certain rewards and make your purchase through the portal. Once you find a brand you’d like to shop, click on the retailer/offer through the portal to go to the store’s site.
Your points may be posted to your account on the Shop and Earn shopping details page within 15 days of your purchase, and you’ll receive an email confirming this. However, it can take up to 60 days for the points to get posted to your account.
How to get points with Shop and Earn
Take advantage of the perks that come with being an eligible cardmember and start earning points through Shop and Earn. Let’s review how:

You can also access it through the Chase Mobile app. To do so, go to “Benefits & Travel” and scroll to the “Chase Shopping” module. Then click on “Shop and earn bonus points”. You will then be directed to the merchant’s website, but your activity will be tracked within the portal.
