Chase Ultimate Rewards is offering a tempting 80% bonus when you transfer your points to IHG One Rewards. Sounds amazing, right? Well, hold your horses! Before you jump in and start transferring, it's super important to crunch the numbers. This deal is running until October 22nd, giving you a little time to decide. The big question is: will you actually get more value transferring to IHG versus booking your IHG stays directly through the Chase Travel portal? Sometimes, booking through the portal can give you a better redemption rate for your points. Think of it this way: the bonus points might seem great, but if IHG hotels cost significantly more points than booking through Chase, you could end up losing out. Basically, do a little comparison shopping! Check the point values for your desired IHG stays both through the Chase portal and by transferring to IHG and then booking. A little bit of research can save you a bunch of points and ensure you're maximizing the value of those hard-earned Chase Ultimate Rewards!
