If you have a Chase Sapphire or Freedom card, there’s some exciting news: starting now and lasting until December 31st, you can earn an extra 10 points for every dollar spent (up to $1,500 each month) when you use Paze at selected merchants.
This is significant for those wanting to rack up Ultimate Rewards Points because it might change how you approach your spending. It’s not every day that Chase rolls out such a broad points multiplier offer, so it seems wise to make the most of this opportunity.
That’s pretty much the gist of it.
Which cards let you earn 10 points with Paze?
If you hold one of the following cards, you should find this category among your benefits:
Notably, the Freedom Flex, Freedom Unlimited, and Sapphire Preferred cards are all eligible for these added perks. It’s worth mentioning that co-branded cards won’t qualify for this bonus.
However, it looks like not everyone can utilize this benefit. Reports suggest that some cards, like the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, may not show this Paze category.
Which merchants participate with Paze?
The list of merchants that accept Paze isn’t as extensive as other checkout methods, but there are some recognizable names. Here are a few you might consider:
- Domino’s Pizza
- Dunkin’ Donuts
- Fanatics
- NewEgg
- Sephora
- United Airlines
- Whataburger
For me, United Airlines is a standout since I’m planning to purchase tickets soon, which makes this quite appealing.
Typically, I use my United Explorer Card for such transactions as it helps me earn more miles on United flights. But this latest Paze offer adds a twist to my decision-making process.
You can find the complete list of participating merchants on Paze’s website. Just keep in mind that if your bonus points don’t appear after a few weeks, a quick chat with your Chase representative can help sort it out.
Do I need to activate this benefit?
No activation is necessary for earning these bonus points with Paze. Just remember to select Paze at checkout to ensure you qualify for the points; otherwise, you miss out.
The ten points per dollar spent, capped at $1,500 a month, are in addition to any regular benefits you usually accrue. So, it’s not a replacement but an enhancement of your rewards.
This Paze offer remains valid only until December 31st. So, if you have specific purchases in mind, it’s a good idea to strategize ahead of that deadline.
Conclusion
If you’re eager to boost your Chase Ultimate Rewards points, this new benefit could be a game-changer. Although the merchant list isn’t exhaustive, the brands included might be useful for a lot of people.
I know I’m looking to book with United soon and plan to utilize Paze with one of my Ultimate Rewards cards. It’s great because this Paze category overlaps with other bonus categories, which means I could earn up to 12 points for every dollar spent on that booking.
In case you’re curious, Chase Points Boost has recently hit an all-time high of 2.5 cents per point at certain luxury hotels.
