We absolutely love a shopping portal here at TPG. Online shopping portals provide easy ways to find deals and earn or redeem bonus points, miles or cash back on purchases you are already making. And this time of year, most of us are making a lot of purchases, so that savings can go a long way toward sticking to your holiday shopping budget.

One such portal is The Shops at Chase, an online marketplace where eligible Chase cardholders can shop using Ultimate Rewards points, their credit card or a combination of both. Currently, eligible cardholders can earn up to $250 in cash back as a statement credit from select The Shops at Chase retailers, including some of our favorite luggage brands.
Here's what you need to know to get the discount and which cards are eligible.
The best Chase cards for The Shops at Chase
If you want to make purchases through The Shops at Chase, you'll need an Ultimate Rewards points-earning card like one of the following:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees)
- Chase Freedom Flex® (see rates and fees)
- Chase Freedom Unlimited® (see rates and fees)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (see rates and fees)

How to find Chase Offers
If you have one of these cards, log in to your Chase account and navigate to "Chase Offers" under the "Benefits & travel" menu. Not all cardholders will be targeted, or you may be targeted for a lower discount. We saw these particular offers only for Sapphire Preferred and Sapphire Reserve cardholders.
Scroll through your available offers and look for any with the Chase logo. These are the offers for purchases made through The Shops at Chase.
After you've clicked on the offer to add it to your card, click the "Go to website" link to visit the brand's page on The Shops at Chase marketplace and make your purchase. The current offers expire Dec. 31. You can use a combination of cash and points, but please note the minimum amount that must be paid with your eligible card to qualify for the discount.
These offers are only valid on purchases made through the marketplace and are not applicable to purchases made directly with the merchant or for gift card purchases. Also, please note that The Shops at Chase has its own return and refund policy, which could differ from the merchant's. Only items that are damaged, defective or don't match what was originally ordered are eligible for a refund or replacement.
OK, with the fine print out of the way, let's get to the fun part — shopping and saving money!
Up to $75 cash back on Calpak luggage
One TPG staffer had an offer for $75 cash back on purchases of $150 or more from The Calpak Shop at Chase on her Chase Sapphire Reserve card. That's the equivalent of a 50% discount. Those of us with the Chase Sapphire Preferred card saw a similar offer, but for $60 cash back on purchases of $150 or more. Remember that even if you opt to cover a portion of your purchase using Ultimate Rewards points, you must still pay at least $150 using your card.
Need some shopping inspo? In addition to the brand's popular rolling luggage, The Calpak Shop at Chase also features a few other TPG favorites, such as its five-piece packing cube set ($68) and clear cosmetics cases ($75-$95), which make great holiday gifts.
Up to $250 cash back on Tumi luggage
The highest offer we found for The Tumi Shop at Chase was $250 cash back on a purchase of $500 or more — another 50% discount. This was again on the Sapphire Reserve, but those of us with the Sapphire Preferred saw a slightly lower offer of $200 back on purchases of $500 or more.
TPG staffers love the Tumi Alpha Bravo Navigation Backpack ($550) for its durability and separate padded laptop compartment that fits even the largest MacBooks.
Bottom line
Whether you are buying for yourself or others, most of us are doing a bit of extra shopping this time of year, and we are always on the lookout for additional ways to save on our purchases. By combining your Chase Offers with purchases made through The Shops at Chase, you can earn valuable cash back no matter who you are shopping for.
