Why Travel Freely Likes It
This is an excellent all-around card for ALL travelers, and one that we consider to be the #1 card for beginners. By being able to transfer points to one of 14 travel partners or redeem points within the Chase Travel℠ portal, this is an extremely flexible card opening up many travel opportunities.
At a minimum, this card's value is $750 where you can get even more value when using Points Boost in the Chase Travel℠ portal. However, when transferring points to travel partners such as British Airways, United, Hyatt or Marriott, we value Chase Ultimate Reward points at 1.5 cents per point - putting an even higher value on the current welcome offer.
And if this wasn’t enough, the card includes 3x points on dining, select streaming services and online groceries (excluding Target, Walmart and wholesale clubs), 2x on travel (or 5x total points if purchased through Chase Travel) and a $50 hotel credit annually. The card also carries no foreign transaction fees and primary rental car coverage.
