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)

Is there a way to add gift cards to the order? Doesn't seem like it to me

I bought two $100 apple gift cards on the cheap, in preparation for paying the difference on an iPad from this deal when it came around... Now I find out they're forcing me to bill the difference on my CSP

And why is even transferring to Hyatt complicated? It's just points you can use towards any number of hotel rooms, it's gonna work even if you have 5 kids. People probably just like the CSR design and feel so they pay $550 a year and dislike the way you tell them this is not even a deal.
Sort of Ymmv buy I have thousands of $ worth of points saved and signed up for the higher end chase card to transfer to Hyatt, and had hell of a time the website just threw errors. I ended up putting support tickets into Chase and Hyatt and sat on the phone with different tiers of support l, fiddling with accounts and they still didn't resolve the issue. I just gave up. Support was such a mess I plan to cash out my points any way I can and cancel the card before at the end of the year. I'll take any non-travel deal that makes sense.

Either save them until you can use them more efficiently, or give up the card.

Look, everyone can spend the points however they want. I'm sure there's someone out there that would argue they have a bunch of points and NOTHING to spend it on, and just want to take the 1:1 cash redemption. That's fine, do what you want. Just don't ask the more experienced users for their opinion and then get annoyed when they give it.

These redemption opportunities are universally inefficient. They just are. If you want to do it, nobody will stop you. Just stop asking if it's a good idea and getting annoyed when you're told it's not. I'm sure there's someone out there that would spend $5 on gum if they wanted a pack bad enough and nothing else to spend their money on, it doesn't mean someone else has to agree that it's a good decision.

No experienced CSR user will ever tell you that it's a good idea to spend your points in any way OTHER than transferring to travel partners. You may not always get 3-4-5+ cents per point, but 50% or less bonus is trash.

Why in the world would I give up the Reserve card.

I got it expressly for these deals.

I spend $0 on travel on this card other than my $300 credit for hotel once a year. And I really spend almost nothing else on it. It sits in the safe.

But I do move my points on 3x shipping fees on another Chase card and other 3-5% cards. I have 6 or 7 of them.

2 iPhones and a watch and an iPad easily every year in points. It's exactly what I want and exactly why I keep the Reserve.

And I make thousands on other cash backs cards. I'm not a newbie. The math pencils just fine.

This travel malarkey only is just that. Travel if you want. Spend points on what you want.

Like the Priority Pass, and the Global Entry every 4 years? Having access to this awesome deal to redeem UR at 1.5 cpp? The primary rental insurance which the CSP also has? All these for just $550? Wow

$300 annual travel credit plus access to premium lounges and participating restaurants. There's allowance too per lounge. We can get stuffed at a restaurant or just get alcohol + snacks pre-flight. The lounges in US, Europe, and Asia have very nice space and accommodations. Can't say about other places but most airports have at least one participating location. So just one round trip with a connecting flight will get the money back.

Great that you found what works for you, but I don't understand the condescending tone and calling people fools.

if you have this card, you should be traveling enough that you can just redeem points to pay over your travel. you would be getting 1.5 cents per point in straight cash if you are using it to pay for travel.
this is only a "deal" (SD trying to make money) if you have more points than travel. but then if you were, why would you have the reserve card.
This is the correct answer. If you're not using the CSP or CSR in order to redeem for travel, then you'd be better off using cash back cards (particularly AMEX cards).

The Chase system works well when collecting points on their free cards and then getting the CSP or CSR when you're ready to cash in for travel. Then downgrade to a free card a year later.

Don't get the reserve card to spend with.

Get it to amplify the 3-5% points from the other chase cards by transferring points to it.

That 3-5% with the 50% boost is what I do.

Agreed.

And we have 6 kids, I don't care what kind of steal I can get on airfare…a phone is way more enjoyable than herding them around an airport.

Quote from Mydiscover :
Please don't confuse people. Using UR points you're really only getting 33% off MSRP of the Apple product with the CSR card.
It's basic math. 50% more value of points. Not a 50% discount on MSRP.

It's like to to get to a 100 from 80, you need 25% increase...not 20%. Nobody is confused
