It's back! Limited Time Offer!
Your points are worth 10%-50% more
Until 11/30/23 or while supplies last, your Chase points are worth more when you redeem for any product on the Apple® Ultimate Rewards® Store.*

Chase Sapphire Preferred is 25% more.
Chase Freedom Unlimited is 10% more.

https://ultimaterewardspoints.chase.com/


For example:

The $1199 iPhone Prom Max is 79,900 points (plus tax if applicable) if you have the Reserve (so retail * 66.7 points). Effectively 1/3 off at a penny per point.

If you have a card with a $99 ish annual fee, I suspect you get 25% extra (so retail * 80 points). Effectively 20% off at a penny per point.

If you have a no-annual-fee card, you likely get 10% extra (so retail * 91 points). About 9% off at a penny per point.
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

But what if you aren't traveling much and need a new iPhone? Not everyone is looking for a 4 cent pp redemption on a round trip business class flight to Zimbabwe. Why not buy airline gift cards when they go on sale? (Like the recent Southwest cards at Costco).

Also worth noting you get extended warranty and purchase protection when you pay with points (you don't when you pay with gift cards).
You are really better off buying apple gift cards when they have promos or Amex offers to buy Apple giftcards for 20% to 25% off and using the UR points for travel to maximize the value.
I can get an iphone 15 pro for 66,600 points ($660 cash value points)

tempting

Please don't confuse people. Using UR points you're really only getting 33% off MSRP of the Apple product with the CSR card.

Not his fault you are confused by math and percentages dude

I don't know; I've done it every year for the last few years. It does take longer to ship, but I've ordered a couple Pro Maxes every time and had no problems.

I don't travel...but it pencils for me to move all my 3-5% chase cards on whatever they're best at to this every November 1.
I quickly looked on Reddit for different threads. It looks like we are doing a transaction via 3rd party which in case of issues can be a PITA to deal with. I just wanted a new phone for te wife for Christmas and was just going to add AppleCare when it arrives. But…

Try First class Suites on Emirates. That's the only redemption I use my points for. Cell phones I can get cheap easily by trading in my Iphone 11's I got for $50 from metro.
I don't get spending so much for 12 h of use. A phone gets hours of use per day. I can be uncomfortable for 12 hours. Only way I go first/business class is if someone else is paying.

How often does the gift card deal come around?

Crap. On Saturday, I bought an Ipad Air on Amazon with Applecare for a gift because it was $649 ($100 off) for the cell version. Bought Applecare for another $79. Total was about $790 with tax. Here the total is 55,199 miles or about $552 at a cent per mile.

I can send the Ipad back unopened, but Amazon/Apple automatically assigns Applecare to your serial number on purchase, so Amazon is telling me I can't transfer the Applecare to a different Ipad and they're being sketchy about whether I can get my money back for the Applecare at all.

Not often, and lately the best you can get is $10 or $15 (if you're lucky) in Target or BestBuy GCs added to your $100 Apple GC purchase, which is nowhere near 25% off.

I do it for the experience and I am 6'6". Everyone uses their points how they want. Of course the most bang for the buck is travel, but some people don't travel. Who cares.

If anyone cares about points for travel just go to the award travel group on reddit and read.

It really doesn't happen anymore.

$10-$15 per hundred…with gift cards back to the store you buy them from.

I used to do that too. Lots of fraud on gift cards for all the "what could go wrong" folks.

I have heard them too. I suspect those are true, but since you really don't hear success stories of people that got what they expected.

My experience has been positive.

Pretty harsh return policy: "Items are eligible for return only if they are defective, damaged in transit, or do not match what was ordered. You have 14 calendar days to return an eligible item from the date your package was delivered."

Was thinking of ordering a 15 Pro Max and then canceling or returning if it took an absurd amount of time to arrive or if a much better deal came along while waiting.

Some people don't travel. Plus people have mentioned travel booking through Chase costs more than other sites.

I was waiting for this deal to come by again for the 15 pro and to use up my points.

Yeah, that's something to keep in mind for sure. They are currently estimating 6-8 weeks on the 15 Pro Max. That's 4-6 weeks longer than directly from the Apple site.. ouch!

Wow ridiculous lead times

Yes, because technically 8 weeks would mean after Christmas… no deal for me Frown
