Summary
Chase Ultimate Rewards points are among the most valuable currencies you can collect, worth 2.05 cents each based on TPG’s June 2026 valuations. The points can be redeemed through various options, including transfers to airline and hotel partners, redemptions through Chase Travel, and cash back or gift cards. The value of the points depends on the redemption option and the cardholder’s account. Transferring points to travel partners can offer the most valuable way to redeem them, with a value of up to 2.05 cents per point. Redemptions through Chase Travel offer a value of between 1 and 2 cents per point, depending on the card and the redemption option. Non-travel redemptions, such as cash back or gift cards, offer a poor value of 1 cent or less per point.

With Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can transfer them to airline and hotel partners, redeem them through Chase Travel, or use them for cash back or gift cards. The points are worth 2.05 cents each, but the value depends on the redemption option. You can get up to 2 cents per point on select hotels and flights with select airlines eligible for Points Boost. The points can be used to book round-trip flights to Hawaii for the whole family or fly business class to Japan. The value of the points can be maximized by transferring them to travel partners and redeeming them toward award flights or stays.
And, of course, you need Wi-Fi to book your award flights.
