In this video we are looking at how to redeem Chase points with 3 examples that show great ways to travel for almost free using these Chase Ultimate Rewards Points. Chase UR Points are a very valuable credit card point currency, but it can be confusing trying to figure out how to use them the right way with Chase travel partners to get maximum value. That’s why I wanted to break down step by step how I fly to places or stay at resort hotels while traveling with Chase credit card points because I enjoy finding ways to do this!
The examples in this video show how to use Chase points in a very simple way that is meant to be beginner friendly. I’ll walk through how to search for point redemptions, how to know if it’s a good deal, and much more! So hopefully after watching this, you will be able to take this information and then redeem your own Chase Ultimate Rewards Points for travel to get maximum value!

I think redemption videos like this are some of the most beneficial types of videos, especially when you provide real world examples. Nice work Daniel!
Thanks so much for saying that Josh, really appreciate it man! Yeah these videos are a lot of fun to make will all the real world examples!
I think this only applies to credit cards like the Sapphire, not the Freedom card.
@@Chicago48 if you were to only use you Sapphire card for your miscellaneous purchases you would only get 1 point per dollar, but if you put all your miscellaneous purchases on your freedom unlimited card you would get 1.5 points per dollar. Does this help? This is what Danial was explaining.
I watched a bunch of Dan’s videos on redemption strategies in preparation for my honeymoon in Bali. I booked about six months in advance using advice from Dan, and scored business class tickets for a total of 160,000 chase points per person. In other terms, we flew round trip 29 hours each way ($9,300 face value) in business class for Chase points worth $1,600 if redeemed as cash back. Dan is the man, thank you!
Another great video Daniel. Thanks for walking through these real examples! 2.5 cpp for the united flight is a great redemption.
Love the new editing style!
Best training on the web.. simple, clear instructions.. you rock Daniel!
Love the video here Daniel & love seeing concrete examples of specific redemption opportunities because it helps make some of the different redemption options that we talk about seem more real. Great video as always!
Thanks Matt! Yeah I love going out and finding examples like these to show people what to look for. It's really fun finding some good award stays and flights!
Hey Daniel! This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this topic. The concrete examples were super helpful, and your editing rocked! 😊 The other thing I liked was that the video showed new people to the travel points game that great value is out there, but they will need to put in some work to get that value. Excellent job, my friend!
Thanks so much for saying all of that Anthony! And yeah the new editor did a great job on this one for me. Appreciate the support as always!
I used to not love how fast you spoke bc English is my second language and it was hard to follow but now I love it because it’s so much information but not a long video. Thank you!!
You always have the best videos talking about credit cards! Thank you!
Stellar content like always! You’re part of reason we were able to travel for pretty much nothing last year! Keep it up, Daniel! 👍🏻
I love to hear that! Thanks so much for watching my content - I'm gonna go check out your channel as well!
Been waiting on this, awesome job! Would love to see a deep dive on how you can leverage alliances to book with other airlines who are not a chase travel partner, and as a result get upwards of 2 cents per point.
Thanks for watching Brandon! Yeah I can definitely make some future content on some topics like that
Woowwwww I am learning so much. That in-depth explanation of the cents-per-point calculation is a game changer. Thank you so much Daniel. You've got a new subscriber!
A video suggestion that I have is to make a video explaining all the airlines alliances and how to transfer and/or book flights within them like the example you mentioned Chase - British Airways - AA or AmEx - Delta Skymiles - Aeromexico and such. As always great video!
Yes sir i agree
Thanks so much for watching Jetser! I can definitely make some future videos on some of that stuff!
yes that would be a great video please!
@@Daniel_Braun I concur! Need more examples on transferring points within airline alliances - that's where I always get stuck. You explain things so well Daniel!
Yes I agree! The airlines alliances can be confusing for newbies.
I love the content! And yes, please make an all-encompassing video about airline alliances! Keep up the great work.
Very helpful seeing you do the booking step by step
This is an amazing video. I just got into the Chase ecosystem last year with the Unlimited and Flex. I haven't gotten the CSR, but I know that the jamacia trip is something I want to do with my points. Thanks for the insight Daniel!!
Thanks so much for watching! So Glad to hear you liked it and might be traveling to check out Jamaica on points as well!
Great video. In depth analysis and relevant references. Well done.
Your videos are improving!!! Great editing
Videos look great my man. These types of videos help me out since I’m new to the CC game
Marco, thanks so much man - I really appreciate it! Glad to hear it was a good one for you, these are always fun to make when I find some good uses for points!
Great examples Dan. Thanks for this as usual Sir.
Thanks so much Scott! Appreciate you watching and commenting as always!
I’m someone that flies American Airlines frequently and I appreciate you walking us through booking through British Airways
amazing video as always daniel!!
Thanks so much Brenley, I really appreciate it!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! I've always used my points for cash back or gift cards, and I'm now kicking myself for realizing that I didn't have to pay for my travel if I knew how to transfer points to partners. Really appreciate this knowledge -- keep it coming.
I’m so excited to learn all of this stuff!!
Woah best RUclipsr on credit cards!!! Everyone knows how to get points but to redeem them you are the man for doing these videos!! Keep up the good work
Great video. You’ve also stepped up your editing/transitions.
Thanks Michael! Haha yeah I finally got a new editor and they're doing a great job with it - glad to hear you think so too
This guy gets it, my man! Thanks !
Chase UR points can be so valuable! Thanks for this video!
Definitely, some of the most valuable credit card points out there! Thanks Manny!
such an amazing video, thank you!
Just stumbled across your channel. Best of luck to you!
A great video on how to maximize the use of Chase UR in many ways ! Thanks for the helpful information Dan !
Thanks so much for watching Basil! Really glad to hear you liked it!
Thanks Daniel ! Love this type of content. I recently got the chase freedom unlimited to finish out my trifecta. I def was using the points in a way that didn’t utilize my points to the maximum. Still learning
Thanks so much for watching Kristie, glad to hear you liked it! Also nice to see you've got the Chase Trifecta in place - I think that's honestly the best setup to have for learning the credit card and points game!
What a great video as always
Thanks so much for saying that, I really appreciate the support!!
Man this video really helps! I have around 165,000 points and have been exploring different travel options. The second one really caught my eye. I was not even aware of it! Thank you again. Hope to see more options in the future!
Love to hear that you liked some of these examples! Yeah that second one is something that I'm hoping to fly sometime soon as well. Thanks for watching Saul!
Great info!! Thank you. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Your videos help ALOT in actually understanding how to transfer points to maximize value of Chase rewards. Before it seemed just way too complicated. Since watching this video I’ve already transferred Chase points to Hyatt and booked
an award stay with minimal points (much better than the 1.5 I had assumed was the best I could get). Thank you! I’m still having difficulty finding the options of cash versus points versus cash+points. For example, I’m looking for a business class ticket from LAX to the Maldives. On Qatar I can’t seem to view the Avois+cash option (maybe b/c I don’t have points yet in my Avios account?). Is there a website or app that can identify such deals or do you always have to find them in the airline website? Finally, what do you think the likelihood is of buying a main cabin ticket (to the Maldives) and upgrading to business with cash later? Thanks again for your help and excellent information!!
Nice editing in the beginning. Also nice video too
Thanks Jason! I got a new editor and I'm really happy with their work
I love watching all your videos! I think you do the best job out of all the credit card influencers. I’m team chase by the way!
Team Chase is a great place to be! Thanks so much for watching and helping to support the channel with comments like that - it really means a lot to me!!
Crazy timing, currently looking on how to book flights for europe with my chase points. Time to break out the pen and paper and take some notes✍️
Haha cool to hear that the timing of this was good for your upcoming trip! Hopefully that one example can be useful for you - thanks for watching Angel!
Great information! Thank you
Thanks for watching Linda - glad you liked it!
Love your videos!
Thank you so much! I love to hear that!
superb ..great job thanks
Time to pack my bags for Jamaica!! 🌴🏖 Jokes aside this is such a valuable video and explains exactly why I love Chase points so much. I'd like to see you use some of your Chase points for a trip to Austin soon 👀
Haha I'll be traveling to Jamaica soon as I figured I'd include it here. Thanks man! Yeah you know I'll be down there in Austin in just a couple of months now - used some Chase points to book the Hyatt haha
@@Daniel_Braun I love it! Excited to catch up with you soon.
Amazing video man, just got my bonus on the second month of owning the sapphire preferred. Also I’m out of Houston so united is the best option for me
Thanks so much Israel! Great to hear you got that bonus - you should be able to take advantage of United as a transfer partner then!
Friend of mine asked me this exact question on Fri!
Hi! New subscriber so I might have missed it, but do you have any videos on best credit card points to use for delta?
Thank you :)
Great videos. Can you do a video on how to use partner programs sometime?
Is there a difference between selecting "round trip" tickets vs selecting two separate tickets for departure and return? It seems like Daniel is purchasing two separate tickets. I'm new to using my Chase Sapphire points and exploring traveling in general.
Awesomeness!
I have always found the points confusing and I think this helped get a little better understanding. but sadly still a head scratcher for me. I guess the big question I have is how can you get so many points with every day purchase to get 120k?
cool vid
Really enjoyed the video! Anybody else in the Midwest and having to suffer a double layover if you want to travel anywhere? I’m trying to find the best value for traveling to Rome next year but a lot of international airlines don’t fly out of my airport so I feel like I’m going to have to piece together a couple of one-way tickets to even get the award flights to pop up.
I have the same problem, but in Utah
What a banger
Haha thanks so much for that Carlos! Really appreciate it
One thing to keep in mind that isn't mentioned a lot is if you are chasing status with an airline. I maintain MVP status with Alaska. So a lot of my flights I just take the 1.5X multiplier on CSR instead of transferring to Alaska miles. That's because when I pay directly with UR points those flights count towards my yearly 20,000 miles accrual requirement. Whereas if I transfer my UR points to Alaska miles those flights won't count towards the 20K. That's also one of my main reasons for using the CSR over my AMEX Platinum for travel spend. I'm basically able to maintain status with Alaska by using my UR points for Alaska bookings.
Great video..noob question- if redeeming miles can you book for someone else? Or it has to be the account holder only
Thanks for watching! And good question - yes you can book for someone else. My fiancé and I do that for each other all the time!
I’ve done Flagship First and booked my flight for a Delta One so let’s see which flat bed is better 😅
Definitely make a video on alliances
Thanks for that, I'll definitely make a video on them!
In my experience Southwest Airlines with the low fare calendar is best for booking with points
Southwest is good for really stretching out your points into many flights because the points and cash prices are so low!
Hey dan so do you mostly book with the portal to get 5x points back when u are not using your points to get those rewards or do you book directly with the airline because u might be getting a cheaper ticket then using the portal with your sapphire preferred
So usually I like booking outside of the portal directly with airlines because I have the Amex Platinum card that I use to get 5x points. I think either portal or no portal can be good, but it's case by case. So always good to compare prices first!
Amazing examples & editing, Dan! Iberia can be an absolute bargain on points 🙌🏼
I would love it if the next time you did one of these comparison videos that you kept track of how long it takes to find the flights. I'm curious how much money you're saving per hour of searching
I'm able to find them pretty quickly now, but it wasn't always that way. It's kind of like a skill where there's a lot of time investment needed upfront but then it decreases over time. Maybe I'll track it next time though because you make a great point with $/hour saved!
How do you book American Airlines flights with British Airway point? Do you go through the British airway portal? Have you made any videos talking about alliance/partnership airline booking with points?
What is the advantage to booking a one way flight as opposed to booking round trip?
If you are doing a multi-city trip, it is a better approach. For example, if you're going to Paris from LAX but want to visit other cities like Berlin, it would be better to book a one way LAX to Paris, and the return flight from Berlin to LAX This is because if you did Paris round-trip, you'd need to buy two additional flights (Paris to Berlin, then Berlin to Paris) to get back to Paris for your return flight.
Got my sub
Thank you so much for subscribing, it really helps out the channel!
Hey Daniel, thanks for all the great content. I'd like to see a video on the strategy after using all my points on the dream vacation. For example...if I have a Sapphire card, I can't get another after cancelling for 24 months( I think)...If I have an Amex Gold and maybe some other card. I understand building up massive points with welcome bonuses, but how do I take my second vacation? How long should that take?
Thanks for watching! I'll definitely see what I can do to make some future content around those topics!
@@Daniel_Braun Awesome, I appreciate that!
Thoughts on making a video about the Citi-Bank trifecta? Or Citi’s trifecta vs Chase’s trifecta?
Those are video ideas that are very high on my list! I'll definitely be making a full Citi Trifecta video and probably will compare it to other Trifectas as well
Daniel, Do you provide individual consultation for point redemption i have both chase and Amex points but not successful as you are..Let me know
Quick question, would it be best to do points / cash if you don’t have enough points? Im looking to take a trip to Tokyo via United later this year from Houston, and idk if I have enough points 😅😅😅
Genuinely stunned when you said you were 6'4. That's the same height as me and your videos just do not give that impression at all based on the angles.
Haha yeah I should include some footage of my actually walking around in real life instead of just sitting down because it's hard to tell height with my videos
I can’t seem to ever find the American Airlines flights through British Airways any tips on which flights work and which don’t?
Is it better to do one way tickets instead of round trips?
Do you normally book two 1-way flights instead of round trip? Is this a way to get better value out of the points?
I normally do like booking one way only. More flexibility when it comes to booking and prices are normally the same for me
Can you do a video like this but for Citi?
Does this really come down to checking the "price" in three places! The dollar total in the UR portal, the points total in the UR portal, and the miles total in the travel partner portal? Then you book the cheapest while the dollar total is just used to compare savings?
Just to clarify regarding the Iberia flight: If you paid in cash, it would be $2331.20. If you were to transfer points, the monetary value of the purchase of the tickets would have been roughly a little less than $500 because you only get $0.01 per point if you were to redeem chase points in cash, is this correct? So instead of paying $2300 for tickets you ultimately paid about $500
When transferring chase points to airline points (united miles, avios, etc.) is it always a 1 to 1 value?
So it’s better to book 2 one way tickets instead of a round trip ?
Can you please make video about what are award flights and how can one book through points?
Definitely! Thanks for watching
@@Daniel_Braun thanks for the wonderful content! Learnt a lot from you!
hoping to capitalize on this one I get the CSP!
Love to hear it Eric! The CSP has been one of my favorites for a while now with all the ways to use the transfer partners
Daniel why do you book the one way instead of round trip? Don’t you need to come back? Or is that a stupid question lol
In may, I am flying EWR -> LHR in Polaris, LHR-ATH -> ATH-IST in business, and IST -> EWR in Economy all for 90K united miles thanks to the excursionist perk
Love to hear that! Thanks for watching Dillon!
Hi! Can we transfer chase points to latam airlines? Thanks!
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks for watching Marites!
Appreciate the video. Why do you keep looking off screen though?😅
Daniel, I found a flight from LAX to Amsterdam in July for $900. through Brussels Airlines. They don't have the option to choose points. How to switch Chase points to Brussels Air?
We ran into the max award travel per flight to Vietnam. Long layover, and my partner wasn’t able to book the 2nd leg with points
Thank you you did a great job although you talk a bit too fast. Could you do an explanation of LAX to Rome using points? I am a bit confused thank you very much.
Affiliate airlines video yesss
Hey Daniel! Do you know if there's a way to transfer chase points to Qatar airways? We are looking to go to the maldives this year!
use british airlines and they are partnered with Qatar thru avios points. So find flight than transfer points to british than transfer from british to Qatar. Its a transfer game of points but thats how you do it
Hey, can I book someone else a flight using my chase biz ink credit card points? This will be my first time using my chase points so I’m a little apprehensive because I don’t want to do anything wrong.
Thanks in advance!
Hi can you please help me. I am planning on going to Puerto Vallarta Mexico from July 19 - July 26. I found a flight in Alaska Airlines but I’m a little confused on how to transfer my points. I made an account on British Airways but when I type in the dates I can’t find the flights. Am I supposed to transfer my points to British Airways and then transfer those points to Alaska? Or is it better to book with Avios?
What’s the starting credit limit for it?
By NOT using the portal aren’t we foregoing the 10x and 5x for hotels and flight respectively?
Doesn’t united charge something to transfer points from chase?
Can you please help me with an example to book from SFO to Italy? Seems like it’s impossible to find good deals on west coast to Europe flights.
I think I should definitely do an example of West coast to Europe in my next video like this! It might be a little harder just because it's a long flight
use a positioning flight
As someone who lives in Los Angeles, I have to say I get quite frustrated with all these examples online of how cheap flights are from New York to Europe. I’m still trying to learn how to play this award travel game and it feels so much harder from the west coast to get value flying to Europe.
It definitely can be a bit more challenging finding nonstop from west coast to Europe - but I'm gonna look for examples of that in my next video like this! Thanks for watching Michael
@@Daniel_Braun thanks, we west coasters would appreciate it! We can only go to Hawai’i so many times… 😩
@@MichaelMcNeeley Haha I totally get that! I'm jealous that west coasters are close to Hawaii that I forget I have it good with being closer to Europe
Booking two one way tickets vs roundtrip is always more expensive ( Jamaica example ).
Should have shown roundtrip for best comparison
Can u do an Amex version of this video. I have 160k points idk what to do with lol
I made one so far here: ruclips.net/video/fJXYv8gvqhs/видео.html
But I'll be making plenty more videos like this in the future too!
Thanks for this video. This was very helpful. I wonder if you would like to make a similar video on flights from US to Asia, particularly India. It would be really helpful to see where my amex or chase points can take me.
Thanks so much for watching, glad to hear you liked it! I can do some examples like that in a future episode of this series
@@Daniel_Braun That will be great! Thanks :)
So handsome. And smart! And financially savvy! Lucky fiancé. 👏👏
