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. Points are worth one cent when redeemed, no matter what you use them for. You can combine or transfer points with other eligible Chase cards that use Ultimate Rewards.
Points earned during a monthly billing cycle usually post to your statement at the close of the cycle. And they’re available to use at the beginning of the next billing cycle. But some points earned near the end of a billing cycle may take up to an additional billing cycle before they are available.
To redeem points, you can visit the Chase Ultimate Rewards website, call customer service at 1 (888) 269-8690 or visit a Chase branch. You can also refer to www.Chase.com/RewardsCategoryFAQs with any specific questions regarding points redemption.

- 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.
