Most retail gift cards can be purchased for less than face value frequently. Often for 20% off. This is another reason it is better to redeem your Chase Points in another way.
How come?
Because that gets you only 1 cent per point. Chase points are worth considerably more when transferred to certain travel partners or even redeemed through the Chase travel portal if you have either of the Sapphire cards or Ink Preferred card.
Booking through the Chase Travel portal for the 1.25x or 1.5x multiplier can give you some good redemption options
Transferring Ultimate Rewards to the travel partners and booking your travel as an award through the partner can give you the greatest value

Of course, this is just a general discussion about the value of URs, without taking into account individual cases/circumstances. If someone doesn't have a need for URs in the long term, better to burn them than let them sit around and potentially devalue.
I am not a huge traveler. Maybe 2 trips a year. I've briefly looked at the chase rewards for travel and most seemed dollar for dollar. Maybe I missed a deal when I looked. I tend to travel on the cheap, and use southwest for flights and vrbo for rentals. I try to go off season to avoid crowds.
If you have any tips on good ways to use these points for travel, plmk.

Lots of blogs have covered this topic, so forgive me for not going to go into a full blown explanation here. Going through the Chase travel portal will typically not get you the best deals, but you'll get either 1.5 or 1.25 cents per point in value depending on whether you have a Sapphire Reserve (1.5) or Sapphire Preferred or Ink Preferred (1.25). "Non-premium" Chase cards (such as Freedom and other cards without an annual fee) will only get you 1 cent per point. You will get higher value transferring URs to travel partners, like Hyatt (although they will be shifting to a "dynamic pricing" model in March, which will have an impact on what you get get for your points depending on the prices in effect during your stay) and airlines. You need a Sapphire or Ink Preferred to have the ability to transfer. For some people, these hoops are not worth jumping through, so they redeem URs for statement credit, or just use another bank's card all together (such as a 2% cash back card) for purchases.
I disagree about the cash back redemption being bad. Not going to elaborate, but if it's a business card for anyone, you will understand what I mean.
