Whether you want to save money on an economy fare, a lie-flat seat or a luxury hotel, you can use your points to travel the world and cut the cost by thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to transfer your points to airline and hotel partners, you can use your rewards for virtually any kind of travel booking \u2014 flights, hotel stays, cruises, tours and rental cars \u2014 via Chase Travel. If you have an eligible Sapphire or Ink card with the <span>Points Boost redemption acceleration<\/span>, your points can be worth up to 2 cents apiece. This is a smart redemption option for folks who don&#8217;t want to deal with potentially complex award program rules.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use your points for nontravel redemptions, such as Amazon purchases, gift cards and statement credits. However, this typically yields between 0.8 and 1 cent per point in value.<\/p>\n<p>So, to get the most value out of your Chase points, here are the best ways to redeem your rewards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_container__YVxAW tw-border tw-border-gray-2\"><picture class=\"tw-flex tw-items-center tw-justify-center tw-opacity-0\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-dt.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__xvcP4\">\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<form class=\"jsx-881693933 newsletter-form\">\n<div class=\"jsx-881693933 EmailCapture_confirmation__AJ4nI EmailCapture_noCheckbox__2BHzb   &#10;          \">\n<p class=\"tw-text-xs-regular !tw-text-gray-5 hover:!tw-text-gray-5 tw-max-w-lg\">By signing up, you will receive newsletters and promotional content and agree to our<!-- --> Terms of Use <!-- -->and acknowledge the data practices in our<!-- --> Privacy Policy.

While the program prices most of its awards dynamically, Flying Blue <span>has standardized saver-level pricing<\/span> for one-way flights between the U.S. and Europe. Award fares start at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>25,000 miles in economy<\/li>\n<li>40,000 miles in premium economy<\/li>\n<li>60,000 miles in business class<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Remember that these rates are only for the lowest saver-level seats, which are limited.<\/p>\n<p>Booking business class from the U.S. to anywhere in Europe for 60,000 Flying Blue miles is a great deal, so if you find this price on dates that work for you, jump on it. Plus, the <span>program offers monthly award deals<\/span>, allowing you to redeem even fewer miles for international flights.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you could extend your trip and spend a few days in Paris or Amsterdam using the <span>free Flying Blue stopover program<\/span>. This is a great way to visit another city without paying additional miles or cash. To book Flying Blue stopovers, you&#8217;ll need to call Flying Blue at 800-375-8723.<\/p>\n<h3>Singapore KrisFlyer<\/h3>\n<p>Singapore Airlines has several benefits as a potential destination for your transferred Ultimate Rewards points. First, Singapore Airlines is one of the best airlines in the sky, with tremendous service and luxurious onboard products and experiences. The carrier&#8217;s long-haul premium products are typically easiest to find through the <span>Singapore KrisFlyer<\/span> program, not through its <span>Star Alliance<\/span> partners.<\/p>\n<p>Second, Singapore KrisFlyer offers great value, with reasonable award charts, low fuel surcharges, routing rules that allow stopovers and the ability to combine multiple partners in one award.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the online award booking tool is intuitive and easy to use, though be aware that transfers typically are not instantaneous.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best uses of KrisFlyer miles is booking a saver fare on the world&#8217;s longest business-class flight from New York&#8217;s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) for just 117,000 miles. This is a great price for almost 20 hours of comfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <span>19 thoughts for 19 hours on the world&#8217;s longest flight from New York to Singapore<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-3874346954 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-2453190082 full-width-auto-height-image\"><img alt=\"Singapore Airlines business class\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;width:100%\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 756px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/runway-media-production.global.ssl.fastly.net\/us\/originals\/2022\/08\/Singapor-Airlines-Airbus-A350ULR-Business-JFK-SIN-Zach-Griff-38.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-3874346954 figcaption\">ZACH GRIFF\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>World of Hyatt<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best ways to use Ultimate Rewards points is to transfer them to <span>World of Hyatt<\/span>. Hyatt points are generally worth more than <span>Marriott Bonvoy<\/span> and <span>IHG One Rewards<\/span> points, so Hyatt is often your best hotel transfer partner within Chase Ultimate Rewards.<\/p>\n<p>World of Hyatt prices most stays using a fixed <span>award chart<\/span>, dividing properties into Category 1 through 8 and dates into peak, off-peak and standard award nights.<\/p>\n<p><span>Category 1 properties<\/span> on off-peak dates are 3,500 points per night, while Category 8 properties on peak dates cost 45,000 points per night.<\/p>\n<p>Properties in Categories 1-5, in particular, can offer some fantastic awards. For example, the <span>Grand Hyatt Athens<\/span> in Greece costs between 9,000 and 15,000 points per night, and the Hyatt Regency JFK Airport at Resorts World New York costs between 12,000 and 18,000 points per night.<\/p>\n<p>You can also get substantial value from higher-tier hotels. For example, redeeming 45,000 points per night at the ski-in, ski-out <span>Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa<\/span> in Colorado during peak ski season can help you save a ton of money since a room starts at around $1,200 per night on these dates. By transferring your Chase points to World of Hyatt to book a stay at this resort, you&#8217;d yield a redemption value of almost 3 cents per point.<\/p>\n<p>Other notable World of Hyatt redemption properties include the Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour and the <span>Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa<\/span>, which cost between 25,000 and 35,000 points per night. Both of these luxury properties routinely sell for over $1,000 a night, making them great redemption options.<\/p>\n<p>Note that Hyatt will shift to a more complex five-tier award chart with higher prices for some <span>bookings made from May 20 on<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <span>Best Hyatt hotels in the world to book with points<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-2362441780\">Best cards to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the best ways to earn Ultimate Rewards points with Chase credit cards:<\/p>\n<p>The first four cards earn fully transferable Ultimate Rewards points, while the remaining two are technically billed as <span>cash-back credit cards<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you also have an Ultimate Rewards points-earning card, you can <span>convert your Chase cash-back rewards<\/span> to Ultimate Rewards points.
