I came across a Chase offer to earn 20K bonus points (after spending $500) for customers who have not used their travel portal since 8/15/22. Since I have never used Chase travel portal for any bookings until now, I was intrigued by this offer.
How do I find the 20K bonus UR points offer?
After you log in to your Chase account, click on the three bars in the top left corner and then click on “just for you” at the bottom of the list (see image below).
Activate the 20K bonus UR points offer
You must click on “Activate now” and enter your last name, last 4 digits of your credit card and zip code (see image below).
If your card is eligible, you will receive an instant confirmation (see image below).
Fine print for the 20K UR points offer
You must spend $500 on a hotel stay, book before 1/31/25 and complete the stay by 8/31/25. 20K bonus points will be posted a few weeks after the completion of the stay.
Can you enroll multiple Chase credit cards for this offer?
While you can enroll several cards from the same account, the bonus can only be earned once per card member. If you are able to spend another $500 on upcoming hotel accommodations, I recommend enrolling one of your family member’s Chase accounts for the bonus.
My earlier Venture X Bariloche hotel booking
I used my Capital One Venture X to book 3 hotels for my upcoming March 2025 trip to Bariloche (review) (review).
All these bookings are refundable and I wanted to see if I can cancel two of them and re-book with my enrolled Chase cards to trigger the 20K bonus for each booking.
Hotel prices for Bariloche, Argentina on Chase portal
I found several good hotels in Bariloche and it’s easy to exceed $500 for a two night stay to meet the Chase bonus requirement.
My final Bariloche hotel bookings
I kept my Llao Llao resort booking made with Venture X and replaced the other two bookings (each over $500 for two nights each) with Chase portal purchases from two card member accounts (to qualify for 20K UR points bonus for each account).
Conclusion
Chase UR points are very valuable and I wanted to be eligible for the 20K points bonus per card member account by cancelling and rebooking them with eligible Chase cards. I will update the post if I ever get the 40K total Chase points posted to both our accounts.
