Overview

• TPG’s August 13–14 guidance tells cardholders to compare Chase Travel portal rates—enhanced by Points Boost values up to 2¢ per point—with 1:1 transfers to hotel partners
• Transfers to World of Hyatt often deliver higher cents-per-point returns, with TPG averaging about 3.69¢ per Hyatt point on award stays
• Booking directly through hotel loyalty programs preserves elite perks and qualifying nights that are usually lost when using online travel agencies like Chase Travel
• Chase Ultimate Rewards points carry a baseline valuation of roughly 2.05¢ per point but can be moved instantly to 14 travel partners for greater redemption flexibility
• The Chase Sapphire Reserve offer of 100,000 bonus points plus a $500 travel credit after $5,000 in spend ends at 9 a.m. EDT on Aug. 21, so prospective applicants must act quickly
