Have You Used Your Chase Sapphire Preferred $50 Travel Credit Yet?

Have you used your $50 Chase Sapphire Preferred promotion in the Chase Travel Portal yet? ⏳ It expires in June 2026, so it’s worth using sooner rather than later.

Last year, Chase started giving new (and “new-ish”) Sapphire Preferred cardholders a free $50 credit to use on any purchase in the Chase Travel Portal — and now that promo is approaching its expiration date. Don’t let it quietly disappear!

Where to find the Chase Travel Portal 🧳

The Chase Travel Portal lives inside your Chase.com account and includes:

• ✈️ Flights

• 🏨 Hotels

• 🎟️ Activities

• 🚢 Cruises & tours

• 🚗 Rental cars

You can pay with cash or Chase Ultimate Rewards points, and in many cases you’ll still earn bonus points when booking. It’s run through a third-party booking platform, but you still have Chase Travel support if something goes sideways.

How to use the $50 promotion 💳

1. Log in to your Chase.com account

2. Click Redeem points to enter the travel portal

3. Search for your flight or hotel stay

4. Click the option you want and add it to your cart

5. If you have the promo, you’ll see “Promotion available” under the trip total

6. Click to apply it

7. The total will drop by $50, and you can still use points to cover the rest

A real example (because numbers make this fun) 😄

A client recently booked a flight for $234 in the portal, applied the $50 promotion, and used 18,672 Chase Ultimate Rewards points (still worth 1.25¢ each in the portal). Older points are worth 1.25 through the end of 2027. New earned points are only worth 1x in the portal. 

So she paid just $0 for the flight. Woohoo. 🎉

One important note 👀

You usually won’t see the promotion until something is in your cart. But once it shows up, you can toggle it on and off while you’re deciding — it doesn’t lock in until you actually purchase.

So if you’ve got that $50 sitting there, go grab yourself a discounted flight, hotel night, or even an activity. Future-you will be glad you did. 😊

If you don't have a Chase Sapphire credit card yet, the Reserve is offering 125,000 bonus right now and the Preferred is offering 75,000 bonus. Talk to me first though to confirm these cards make sense for you.
