Why PointsMax Values Chase Ultimate Rewards® Points at 1.25¢
Chase Ultimate Rewards points are highly regarded due to their valuable transfer partners, notably World of Hyatt, United, and British Airways. Under the PointsMax model, they are valued at 1.25¢ as a baseline (with the Chase Sapphire Preferred®) and 1.5¢ when pooled under the Chase Sapphire Reserve® due to the 50% portal redemption boost.
Our valuations represent the estimated cash yield you can expect when booking typical award tickets or hotel nights using optimal redemption strategies, rather than baseline cash-back conversions.
