The Chase Sapphire Reserve hotel partners are a game-changer for travelers. With over 1,000 hotels worldwide, you can earn 3X points on all hotel stays.
One of the best things about the Chase Sapphire Reserve hotel partners is the flexibility to earn points at a wide range of properties. From luxury resorts to budget-friendly motels, you can rack up points at hotels that fit any travel style.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve hotel partners include some of the most recognizable brands in the industry, such as Marriott, Hilton, and InterContinental. These partnerships offer a seamless experience, with the ability to earn and redeem points across multiple brands.
Hotel Partners List
The Chase Sapphire Reserve offers access to three hotel loyalty programs through its transfer partners: World of Hyatt, IHG One Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy. These programs can provide significant value for your points.
World of Hyatt is often considered the most lucrative hotel loyalty program to transfer to, thanks to its relatively low redemption rates. For example, you can book a stay at a Hyatt all-inclusive property for as little as 12,000 points per night during off-peak dates.
IHG One Rewards, on the other hand, is generally considered a weak transfer partner, with a value of only 0.5 cents per point. Unless you have a specific IHG redemption in mind, it's usually better to book IHG hotels directly through the Chase portal.
Marriott Bonvoy is another option, but its redemption rates can be variable. If you're looking for a more consistent value, World of Hyatt is often the better choice.
Here is a list of the Chase Sapphire Reserve hotel transfer partners:
- World of Hyatt
- IHG One Rewards
- Marriott Bonvoy
Keep in mind that transfer bonuses can sometimes be offered, allowing you to get extra points for free. For example, earlier this year, Chase offered a 70% transfer bonus to IHG and a 50% transfer bonus to Marriott.
Chase Sapphire Reserve Partners
The Chase Sapphire Reserve offers an impressive array of transfer partners that can help you maximize your points.
You can transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to three hotel partners: World of Hyatt, IHG One Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy. World of Hyatt is often considered the best option due to its many sweet spots and lower redemption requirements.
To access these transfer partners, you must have one of the following credit cards: the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card, or the Chase Ink Business Preferred Card.
With the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can combine Ultimate Rewards points from other Chase cards, such as the Chase Freedom Unlimited Card, to use with transfer partners.
Here are the Chase hotel transfer partners:
- World of Hyatt
- IHG One Rewards
- Marriott Bonvoy
Keep an eye out for transfer bonuses from Chase to these programs, which can give you extra points for free. For example, earlier this year, Chase offered a 70% transfer bonus to IHG and a 50% transfer bonus to Marriott.
Travel Rewards
The Chase Sapphire Reserve hotel partners offer a wide range of redemption options. You can transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG One Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, or World of Hyatt.
IHG One Rewards is a good loyalty program, but it's generally a weak Chase transfer partner. NerdWallet values IHG points at 0.5 cent each, making it a bad transfer that can devalue your points. Unless you find a killer IHG redemption, it's better to book IHG hotels via Chase's portal.
Marriott Bonvoy is a great option for transferring your points, but I've covered it extensively in other articles. World of Hyatt is the only valuable transfer hotel option, making it a great choice for those who want to redeem their points for hotel stays.
Here are the Chase hotel partners:
- IHG One Rewards
- Marriott Bonvoy
- World of Hyatt
Keep in mind that you can also transfer your points to airline partners, which can be a great option for those who want to redeem their points for flights.
Credit Cards
To access Chase's transfer partners, you must have one of the following credit cards: the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, or the Ink Business Preferred Credit Card.
These cards offer a range of benefits, including earning points on travel and dining purchases. The Chase Sapphire Preferred Card earns 5 points per $1 on travel booked through Chase, 3 points per $1 on dining, and 2 points per $1 on other travel.
The Chase Sapphire Reserve Card takes it a step further, earning 10 points per $1 on Chase Dining, hotel stays, and car rentals purchased through Chase. You can also earn 5 points per $1 on air travel purchased through Chase.
One important note is that you can only have one Sapphire card at a time, so you can't have both the Preferred and the Reserve at the same time.
Here are the credit cards that offer access to Chase's transfer partners:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
- Chase Sapphire Reserve Card
- Chase Ink Business Preferred Credit Card
Using Points
You can redeem your Chase Sapphire Reserve points in the Chase Travel℠ portal, where they're worth 1.5¢ apiece.
This can be a great way to get more value out of your points, especially if you can find cheap hotel nights.
However, keep in mind that most major hotel chains won't honor elite status or benefits if you book through the Chase portal.
This means you might miss out on perks like late checkout, free breakfast, and complimentary room upgrades.
To maximize your points, consider transferring them to travel partners instead of redeeming them in the portal.
But if you do decide to use the Chase portal, you'll earn 10X points on hotels paid for through Chase Travel℠.
Rewards Programs
You can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to a wide range of airlines and hotels, making them incredibly versatile.
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to 10 direct airline partners, giving you access to all three major airline alliances: Oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance.
These airline partners include Aer Lingus, JetBlue, Singapore Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, among others.
Southwest Airlines is a great option for flying in the Southwestern US, with low point redemptions and benefits like Companion Pass.
You can also transfer points to hotels like World of Hyatt, Marriott – Bonvoy, and IHG – IHG Rewards Club.
Here are some of the airline partners you can transfer to:
- Aer Lingus
- JetBlue
- Singapore Airlines
- Southwest Airlines
- United Airlines
The Edit
The Edit is a new luxury hotel program from Chase that's set to launch in early 2024. It's an evolution of the Luxury Hotel & Resort Collection (LHRC) and offers luxury lodging experiences for Sapphire Reserve cardholders.
Bookings made through The Edit will include perks like breakfast for two, property credits, room upgrades, welcome amenities, and more.
This is a significant update for Chase points enthusiasts, as LHRC hotels could only be booked with cash previously.
