2.5X Chase Points Boost Properties
The Edit just got some new sweet spots. Earlier this year, Chase announced 2.5X Points Boost redemptions, its highest-ever Points Boost rate, for select properties within its premium hotel program. Chase has since refreshed that list a couple of times, so it’s not a bad idea to keep an eye out for these properties with elevated rates. Mixing Points Boost with The Edit credits is also one of our favorite ways to knock out the annual perks on the Chase Sapphire Reserve and the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business cards. Depending on rates and availability, there’s a chance to get some strong value here. Let’s take a look at the latest 2.5X Chase Points Boost properties.
What is Chase Points Boost?
Chase launched The Points Boost feature last summer, offered to premium cardholders on select flights and hotels booked through Chase Travel. The rollout complemented the refresh of the Chase Sapphire Reserve card and the debut of the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business card. Boosted points are normally worth from 1.25 up to 2 cents per point. (Prior to that, Chase cardholders could make all Chase Travel bookings for flat rates of 1.25 or 1.5 cents per point, depending on which card they held. You can read all about the changes that happened last year here.) Points Boost offers are marked with a rocket icon and Points Boost tag, indicating both the promotional and standard rates. The 2.5X Chase Points Boost properties are distinguished the same way.
Which Properties Are Eligible For The 2.5X Points Boost?
Here is the current list of properties with the elevated rate. Chase’s standard terms and conditions apply, including “Points Boost offers are promotional and are refreshed periodically. Offers may change with the refresh. Travel inventory is subject to availability.”

2.5X Chase Points Boost Properties: ToP Thoughts
This is a great reminder to get cranking on using your credits for The Edit this year. It’s also a good reminder to keep checking to see if the list of 2.5X Chase Points Boost properties has been refreshed, as it seems to be getting updated regularly now. As always, you’ll want to calculate the comparative cpp you could get from booking outright with the hotel brands, but I suspect you can get outsize value with many of these.
