rewrite this title 6 Hotels Where Chase’s Points Boost Yields 2.5x – NerdWallet

Most travel redemptions booked through Chase’s travel portal yield a value of just 1 cent per point. However, there are some hotels and flights that qualify for Points Boost, where Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders can earn as much as 2 cents per point, typically.

All of these properties are part of Chase’s The Edit Collection. When cardholders book a hotel in The Edit collection, they receive special perks such as free breakfast for two, a $100 property credit and a complimentary room upgrade upon check-in.

Here’s a look at some of the properties worth booking, based on the number of points it would require to book for a one-night stay on Nov. 1, 2026.

Vacationing in southern France just got a lot cheaper if you are able to take advantage of this Points Boost offer. Rates vary quite a bit, ranging from more than $1,000 per night in the summer to much less in the winter. That helps demonstrate how Points Boost can showcase value.

IHG One Rewards is a 1:1 transfer partner with Chase, and it makes far more sense to redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards® points with this Points Boost while enjoying perks like breakfast and property credits instead of paying in cash (no benefits for nonelite members) or using IHG points.

Part of the Marriott Bonvoy program, this resort has varying redemption rates depending on the season, but they mostly approach 100,000 points during the busy winter months. But opting for these Points Boost rates can yield great value when you consider the perks that come with The Edit reservations.

Don’t forget that when you redeem Chase points for a redemption like this, you would still earn Marriott Bonvoy points and elite status perks for the stay.

For a hotel that does not participate in its own loyalty program, using Chase Ultimate Rewards® points with a Points Boost represents great value. And since breakfast and a room upgrade are part of the deal when booking through The Edit, this is a great way to save significant cash on a reservation at this hotel that caters to foodies.

Rates here vary a lot, with some nights approaching $2,000 for a room and others dropping below $500. That means you’ll pay fewer points on the cheaper nights, and the Points Boost is the cherry on top.

For a hotel brand that lacks a loyalty program, using credit card points for a redemption is already great value. But when you add in the Points Boost benefit, it becomes even better.

This New York City hotel usually costs more than $1,000 a night, making the 2.5x Points Boost attractive. Even on the cheapest nights of the year for New York in January, the hotel barely drops below $800 per night.

You’ll notice we did not highlight all of the hotels on Chase’s list. They are fabulous properties, but you can probably get better value using other points currency or paying directly in cash.

It is a Category 6 hotel, which means you would need to pay 20,000 to 40,000 points for a redemption. And when paying with World of Hyatt points, the nightly resort fees will be waived, representing further savings.

Sometimes, booking directly with cash is cheaper: Other hotels we did not include on this list offered far lower rates when booked directly through the hotel than through The Edit, even after accounting for the extra perks and Points Boost.

Points Boost can bring great value for these hotel redemptions, depending on when you stay and whether you would get more for your points elsewhere. Note, however, that the two credit cards that grant access to elevated redemptions also carry hefty annual fees. The Chase Sapphire Reserve® costs $795. The Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ annual fee is also$795. But when you combine the 2.5 cents per point, the perks that come with booking through The Edit and earning points in the hotel’s own loyalty program, using your Chase points at these hotels pays off.
