Yes, Chase Sapphire Reserve is part of the Ultimate Rewards program. This program allows Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders to earn points and then redeem them for travel, statement credits, and gift cards through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal. Cardholders can also transfer Chase Sapphire Reserve rewards points at a 1:1 ratio to more than a dozen Ultimate Rewards partners, including Marriott Bonvoy, British Airways, and Southwest Airlines.
Chase Sapphire Reserve Ultimate Rewards Details
- Initial bonus offer: New cardholders can earn 60,000 bonus points for spending $4,000 in the first 3 months.
- Ongoing rewards: This card offers a total of 10 points per $1 spent on hotels and car rentals booked through Chase, a total of 10 points per $1 spent on prepaid restaurant reservations or takeout orders made through Chase, a total of 5 points per $1 spent on flights purchased through Chase, 3 points per $1 spent on all other travel and dining purchases, and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
- How to redeem your rewards: Log in to the Ultimate Rewards portal or enroll in online banking. Next, select the "Earn/Use" box at the top of the page to see a dropdown menu of redemption options.
Then, choose your preferred redemption options and follow the on-screen instructions to use your points. Note that the redemption is final, so double check that you’ve selected the option you want. - Redemption value: For Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders, redeeming points for travel is definitely the best option. Points earned with Chase Sapphire Reserve are worth 50% more when you redeem them for travel purchases through the Ultimate Rewards portal, rather than redeeming for cash.
If you redeem for statement credits or gift cards, they’re worth 1 cent each. Amazon purchases are only worth 0.8 cents per point.
It is worth noting that Chase Sapphire Reserve is not the only Chase credit card part of the Ultimate Rewards program. Just keep in mind that the rewards structure varies by card, so make sure to check the card’s terms and conditions beforehand.
Other Chase Ultimate Rewards Credit Cards
Aside from being part of the Ultimate Rewards program, the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card offers a $300 annual travel credit. Just note that it also comes with a $550 annual fee and requires excellent credit for approval.

Yeah, you can use Ultimate Rewards with the Reserve. Considering the card is high-end, it's pretty obvious it'll be compatible.
