Chase credit travel portal transitions to Expedia [Transition Complete]
Just saw this and looks like a phased rollout.
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/12/jpmo...o-expedia.html |
Users of the bank’s Freedom cards will get the new portal starting Sunday, while the bank’s other credit-card customers will be phased in over the next few months. Previously, J.P. Morgan used a company called Connexions Loyalty, part of privately-held Affinion Group |

However, this change makes Expedia (or one of their many other brands) the operator of the portal, which will affect airfare, car rentals, etc as well as hotels. |
Will I get Expedia points for bookings made through UR portal?

Maybe for the 'cash' portion of the redemption. Guessing if you use 100% UR pts for booking you won't get Expedia points. Kind of like booking a UA award flight using UA miles and expecting to earn UA miles for the flight.

Searching multiple destinations on Freedom travel portal is working again, thanks to Expedia, also hotel search for Hong Kong return 675 properties vs <300 for connexions amazing!!!!!!

They do have some discounted sale prices on some hotels compared to the main expedia pricing, so still worth checking out for hotels. E.g. a hyatt I'm looking at is $175 via the Chase portal but $199 on Expedia (and $194 member rate through hyatt.com). Will be interested to see if the sales are also present when the engine extends to UR redemptions as the CSR portal still has the higher price. |
Anyone know what happens with Cruise & Tours? expedia now?

Playing around with the new portal on the Freedom UR site, I noticed several quirks that are a little offputting (for booking flights anyway)

I don’t understand the value proposition here except for the better UI perhaps. Unless we get deals or discounts, it’s all the same to me

The "Vacation Rental" search looks to be new vs. what appears for my CSR. Unfortunately, it seems to only show hotels based on a brief look (at least for Rome during April 2019). Still some bugs to work out?
