The Points Tool You've Always Wanted

Chase is offering 50% back on up to two Lyft rides when you add promo code SOUTHWEST50 to your Lyft account, with a maximum of $15 back per ride. The offer officially targets Southwest Rapid Rewards cardholders and the terms say you have to pay with a Southwest card, but we have seen people with other Chase cards who have been able to load it as well. The offer expires September 30, 2026. There is also a second promo code, 26Q3CHASE50, offering 50% back on one ride, up to $10, through October 14. Both offers must be added before requesting the ride and are valid for U.S. rides, including Puerto Rico. In the app, go to your account, then Rewards, then you can add the promo codes under Offers. These offers appear to have limited availability, so we recommend adding the codes to your accunt now if you want to use them before their expiration.

09/17/26 Update: While the public elevated offer is no longer available, referrals are still showing the elevated 100k point offer, so you still have time if you thought you waited too long.

09/10/26 Update: Chase just announced these elevated offers will end at 9am on September 17. If you've had your eye on these elevated bonuses, we suggest not waiting until the very last minute, as the offers sometimes get pulled a little earlier than the stated time.

The Chase Ink Business Cash and Ink Business Unlimited cards have had elevated 100,000-point signup bonus offers for most of the summer, but those offers are ending soon. Chase has not announced an official end date yet, but when we get the "ending soon" message, it usually means there are only a few weeks left. Chase typically follows with a firm end date rather than pulling the offers without warning, but if you’ve had your eye on either card, now would be a good time to apply. These are fantastic offers since neither card has an annual fee, and if you have an eligible Chase card that transfers to travel partners, you can combine your Ultimate Rewards points. If you’re playing two-player mode and one of you has never had a Chase Ink business card, the referral bonus is a stout 40,000 points, so make sure you take advantage of that as well for a potential 140,000-point haul from a no-annual-fee card.

Chase is adding two more $250 The Edit credits to the Sapphire Reserve for Business starting January 1, 2027, increasing the card's annual benefit from two credits to four, or up to $1,000 per calendar year. Each credit still requires a prepaid, minimum two-night stay booked through The Edit, with no requirement that the stay itself occur in 2027 as long as it is booked by December 31, 2027. Eligible stays also include daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, and space-available room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout. If you book consecutive stays at the same property, you can use multiple $250 credits and still receive breakfast each day, but the stays are treated as one reservation for the $100 property credit, so you'll only receive that benefit once. This is a substantial improvement to a card with a $795 annual fee, with The Edit credits alone now worth up to $1,000 per year.

September 16, 2026 update: IHG has brought back its 100% points bonus through October 5, 2026. This time, you only need to buy 5,000 points to receive the full bonus, dropping the cost to 0.5¢ per point. IHG has also temporarily increased the maximum number of points you can purchase to 300,000, although previous 2026 purchases count toward that limit.

August 18, 2026 update: This promo has been extended until September 1, 2026.

IHG is once again offering up to a 100% bonus on purchased points through August 17, 2026. This is a tiered points sale. Buy at least 5,000 points to receive an 80% bonus, 10,000 points for a 90% bonus, or 30,000 points for the full 100% bonus. When receiving the 100% bonus, you'll pay 0.5¢ per point. The offer may be targeted, so some members could see different bonus amounts or thresholds. Buying IHG points at this price can make sense if you have a specific redemption in mind, especially when stacking cardholder benefits such as fourth-night free or a 10% award rebate. IHG runs these sales frequently, so we would not recommend buying speculatively.
