Chase Travel Adds 11 Hotels With Top 2.5-Cent Points Value
Chase Travel now gives a 2.5 cents-per-point Points Boost value at eleven select hotels, its highest yet, but other boosted rates were reportedly cut.
Chase Travel has raised its Points Boost to 2.5 cents per point (cpp) at a small group of hotels. Frequent Miler and Doctor of Credit both covered the change. Doctor of Credit calls it the highest Ultimate Rewards PointsBoost the program has offered.
A Points Boost lets some Chase cardholders get more value from points when they book travel through Chase. According to Frequent Miler, Chase added these boosts last year, when it updated both the Sapphire Reserve card and the business version of that card. The boosts replaced the older flat rates of 1.5 and 1.25 cpp, which depended on the card.
Doctor of Credit's list grew to eleven hotels in an update dated October 17, 2026.
There is a catch. In an earlier update dated April 24, 2026, Doctor of Credit said a reader noticed that Chase lowered most 2 cpp hotel rates to 1.65 cpp when the 2.5 promo launched. The same reader said much of the 2 cpp airline value, including United and American Airlines, was removed at that time.
What it means for travelers
If you hold a Chase card with Points Boost, these eleven hotels may give you more value per point than other bookings. The reported drop in other boosted rates means a different hotel or flight could now be worth less than before. Compare the value per point before you choose where to spend points.
What to watch next
Check the current Points Boost rate for your hotel and card in the Chase Travel portal before you book. The hotel list has changed over time, so confirm it is still current.
