You can redeem Chase Ink Cash points for cash as a statement credit or a direct deposit to a checking or savings account. You can also redeem points for gift cards, travel, or other products and services available through the Chase Ultimate Rewards program.

• Travel purchases eligible for points redemption include airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, cruises and more. If you don’t have enough points to redeem for travel, you can charge the remaining cost of your booking to your Chase Ink Cash card.
• Ink Cash points do not expire as long as your account is active. You will lose all unused points if your account is closed, regardless of the reason.

Chase Ink Cash points are even more valuable in that the card has no annual fee. You can spend and earn points without the pressure of meeting a specific threshold to offset the cost of annual fee.

Be careful with international purchases, though. Chase Ink Cash does charge a 3% foreign transaction fee on all purchases made outside of the United States or through internationally-based merchants. Any rewards earned on international purchases would be quickly eroded, if not wiped out, with a 3% surcharge tacked on.
