Hawaii has reopened its doors to tourism….there must be a fare war going on…luring travelers to fly to Hawaii. Just remember:

Anyone traveling to Hawaii is required to have a government Safe Travels account and self-quarantine for 14 days. Some travelers may be exempt from quarantine with proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of departure.

How do you earn Chase Ultimate Rewards

There are many credit cards out there. The points earned with Chase have been my favorite for many years. These Ultimate Rewards points could be used for airfare, hotel, car rentals. Here are the Chase Cards that I, myself, use on a regular basis which can earn you these Ultimate Rewards.

a. Chase Sapphire Preferred (click here)– earn 80,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards(highest  bonus  offer  ever)

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is a perfect starter card. With its current 80,000 bonus points, those points alone have gotten us two tickets to Hawaii, have gotten us to many countries and cities in Europe and Asia, just as an example. The sign up bonus alone can be worth as much as $1,000 or more in travel.

– 80,000 Ultimate Rewards sign up bonus after $4,000 in spend in the first three months
– Points are transferable to:

• Hotel Partners
  • Hyatt
  • Marriott
  • IHG
  • Ritz-Carlton
• Airline travel partners
  • JetBlue
  • United Airlines
  • British Airways
  • Southwest Airlines
  • Singapore Airlines
  • Flying Blue
  • Virgin Atlantic
  • Aer Lingus
  • Iberia

– Points are worth 1.25 cents each when redeemed through the Ultimate Rewards travel portal
– Primary rental car collision damage waiver
– Earn 2X points on all travel and dining
– $95 annual fee

If I were just starting out in earning miles and points, I suggest starting out with this card,  the Chase Sapphire Preferred

b. Chase Sapphire Reserve – earn 50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards (I don’t have an active link at the time this was published, feel free to search on the net for a recent link, or check with me). Here’s a write up that I wrote on both Sapphire cards.

My other trusted cards that earn ultimate rewards are

• Chase Ink Business Preferred,
• Chase Ink Unlimited
• Chase Ink Cash
• Chase Freedom Flex
• Chase Freedom Unlimited

I value my points earned with Chase. Here’s a write-up I wrote last year as to how we travel for nearly free (click here) with points earned with these credit cards.

For other cards that have helped us travel for nearly free, I recently I updated my favorite travel credit cards. I’ve also written this recently:

• How we traveled using nearly 2 million points in 2018
