The Trick To Getting More Value Out Of Chase Ultimate Reward Points
So here's the trick to get more value out of the points.
- Just log into your Chase.com account
- Click on the earn/use points and you'll see this dashboard. It's expanded a lot since the pandemic started. One of the things I love about Chase is how user friendly the site is. You can see exactly how many points you have, how to use them, and how to earn them.
- Click on combine points and you will see the option to move points from one card to another. You can also move points from one family member to another if your family member only has a no fee card or even a Preferred card.

Where to Find The Best Travel Deals on Cyber Monday
We may not be able to travel yet, but you can get some deals on Cyber Monday to use when we can. A lot of the deals out there right now come with FREE cancellation or big travel windows which gives you a lot of flexibility. Be sure to check out the cruise lines and theme parks since they are offering amazing benefits along with discounted rates. Also, many of the airlines and hotels are offering a chance to buy points like Jet Blue, IHG, and United.
Now I don't usually recommend buying points, but when they offer a 100% bonus and you have someplace in mind, it could be worth it.
You can check out this fantastic comprehensive list of deals from our friends at ThePointsGuy.com.
