Unlock Hidden Luxury: Chase Points Just Skyrocketed to 2.5 Cents — Here’s the Shocking List of 11 Hotels You Can’t Miss!

Ever wonder if your Chase Sapphire Reserve® points could actually stretch beyond the usual 2 cents a pop? Well, buckle up, because Points Boost just threw down a gauntlet that’s hard to ignore. This nifty feature, one of my absolute favorites from the 2025 shakeup of Chase Travel, has morphed into something downright epic — offering up to 2.5 cents per point on a handpicked collection of luxury hotels. I mean, who said squeezing extra juice out of your points couldn’t feel like winning the lottery? These aren’t just any hotels either; we’re talking spots nestled in Chase’s “Top 26 trips to take in 2026,” places that have me daydreaming about booking a 2027 ski season stay or a lavish city escape without draining my wallet. If you’re like me, always hunting for that sweet spot between savvy and splurge, this is the kind of Points Boost moment that feels like striking pure gold. Ready to unlock what’s possibly the highest-value Points Boost to date? Let’s dive in. LEARN MORE.

Points Boost is one of my personal favorite features to come out of the 2025 revamp of the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees).

It raised the ceiling on what your Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be worth when booking through Chase Travel up to 2 cents per point on select flights and hotels. The standard value per point for Chase Travel bookings outside of Points Boost is now 1 cent per point.

Since launch, redemption values have become more variable, with many bookings landing somewhere between 1 and 2 cents per point. But now, Chase is taking things a step further: you can get up to 2.5 cents per point on a curated list of high-end hotels.

These properties are all located in destinations featured on Chase’s “Top 26 trips to take in 2026” list and mark the highest-value Points Boost opportunity we’ve seen so far.

Hotel du Couvent, a Luxury Collection Hotel — Nice, France
InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa — Dominica
Four Seasons Hotel Osaka — Osaka, Japan
Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa — South Caicos
Nobu Hotel San Sebastian — Basque Country, Spain
Gardena Grodnerhof Hotel — Italian Dolomites
Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam — Amsterdam, Netherlands
Grand Hyatt Deer Valley — Park City, Utah
The Ritz-Carlton, Portland — Portland, Oregon
Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado — Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel — New York City, New York

In my test searches, some of these hotels are available for booking at that increased Points Boost rate through the end of the booking calendar, which currently extends to March 2027. That means you could lock in a 2027 ski season stay at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley, as an example, at these increased Points Boost values.

Though in that example, also compare to the Points Boost points rate the World of Hyatt program would charge, since Hyatt is a 1:1 transfer partner of Chase.

To give an example of how this works, for a stay in Feb. 2027, Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado in Santa Fe is priced at $763 all-in via Chase Travel. With this Points Boost increased rate, that comes out to just 30,543 Chase Ultimate Rewards points for the stay. Without Points Boost it would cost 76,300 points per night.

Since all of these properties are a part of The Edit, you also get included breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, potential upgrades and more.

Additionally, if you pay “cash” for a portion of the stay, you should be able to stack on using one of your two annual $250 credits towards prepaid stays of at least two nights at The Edit properties. Just be sure to pay with a combo of cash and points at checkout on Chase Travel and select at least $250 for your cash portion, which should be offset if you have one of those two statement credits at your disposal.

Even if none of these 11 hotels are right for you to book using Points Boost right now, this offering is still very exciting as it demonstrates some potential and willingness for Chase to offer some outsized redemption opportunities from time to time.
