Chase Ultimate Rewards points help me move trips from the “dream” to “done” column on my travel to-do list. These getaways wouldn’t be possible without this powerful loyalty currency.
Last year, my husband and I both transferred 120,000 points to Aeroplan to redeem them for round-trip business-class tickets to Europe on Swiss. We then vacationed at Andaz Prague (21,000 Hyatt points per night) and Park Hyatt Zurich (37,500 points per night).
But The Cape, A Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was my best redemption of 2024. I spent 30,000 Hyatt points per night and, as a World of Hyatt Globalist, applied an upgrade certificate. We thoroughly enjoyed the Thompson Suite with its postcard-perfect ocean views. If you don’t have an upgrade certificate, the suite costs 48,000 points per night.
If right about now you’re wishing you had a big stash of Ultimate Rewards points of your own to make similar maneuvers, I have awesome news! The Chase Ink Business Preferred️® Credit Card offers new cardholders 90,000 bonus points after they spend $8,000 in the first three months of account opening.
All kinds of businesses are eligible to apply. I talked it up to my neighbor who has real estate investments — the Ink Business Preferred is now his card of choice to pay the insurance premiums on those properties. Are you a teacher who offered day care or tutoring last summer? That counts as a business. Are you a crafter selling at holiday fairs? You may be eligible for this card, too.
The Ink Business Preferred’s benefits make it a tremendous partner for any small business or side hustle. This card powers the business I share with my husband, and the points we earn take us around the globe.
