I feel Chase has done a terrible job explaining their value proposition.
I'm still learning and I clearly missed the boat early on.Its taken me months to understand what they are doing since they launched late last year
As their partner Hyatt sinks low Chase is essentially competing and yet still partnering with Hyatt
Chase Points boost when redeeming may be cheaper than booking through Hyatt.
Chase UR has gotten more complex but I think their value proposition has always been clearer. That’s why it’s been so popular. Most people I know how have the CSR don’t even transfer to Hyatt.
What other program has both a spending multiple and a base value of at least 1 cent per point?
People were used to 1.5ccp before but at 1.25cpp it’s still significantly higher than alternatives. Multiple that by 8x on Chase Travel or 3x on dining/hotel/air. That’s a very high rate of return.
