In 2025, Chase introduced Points Boost as a way to get outsized value from your Chase Ultimate Rewards points without having to transfer them to hotel and airline partners.
Available on eligible Chase cards, including the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees), the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees) and the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (see rates and fees), Points Boost lets you redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for select hotels and flights booked through Chase Travel℠ at higher values than the standard 1 cent per point.
Depending on the booking, your points can be worth up to 1.5–2 cents each, and occasionally go even higher.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
