It's the last few weeks to apply for the 80,000 bonus on the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card. The offer ends December 1st. This is my favorite card and has saved me thousands of dollars on travel.
What can you do with 80,000 Chase Ultimate Reward points?
So many things.
- For one, you can use them in the Chase Travel Portal where the Chase Sapphire Reserve makes the points worth 50% more.
- You can also transfer them 1:1 to dozens of airlines including United, Jet Blue, Southwest and more.
- You can transfer them to Hyatt, Marriott and IHG hotels at 1:1.
- Through the end of the year, you can use them to erase Airbnb and dining purchases.
Chase says the value of 80,000 CUR points is $1,200 towards travel. But it could be more if you play your cards right.
On my trip to Ireland last summer I used Chase Ultimate Reward points to cover my daughter's round trip flight which I booked through the Chase travel portal for 30,000 points.
I erased all of our Airbnb stays at 50% value for 50,000 points and I erased most of our dining with another 30,000 points.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve card also comes with a $300 travel credit so we used that to erase parking and a portion of the rental car.
The other benefit is that you can transfer CUR points from your other credit cards to your Reserve card and then redeem them for 50% more. Woohoo!
This card also comes with a $100 Global Entry credit, Priority Pass lounge access and FREE Dashpass membership, Instacart+ and $10 Go Puff monthly credit.
The card does come with a hefty annual fee of $550, but as long as you use the $300 travel credit, Global Entry and lounge access, it will be worth it.
Couple of important notes about this card. If you already hold the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, you are NOT eligible to apply for the Reserve card. You can only hold one at a time. However, your spouse, partner or other family member could apply for the Reserve card. You can also only earn the bonus on the Reserve only once every four years.
