To that end, [Chase Ultimate Rewards points]( help me move trips from the “dream” to “done” column at a rate faster than many others. Many of my best getaways wouldn’t have been possible without this powerful loyalty currency. The way I maximize these points is by [transferring]( them to partners, such as [World of Hyatt]( and Air Canada’s [Aeroplan](. For example, earlier this week, my husband and I both transferred 120,000 points to Aeroplan to redeem for round-trip business-class tickets to Europe on Swiss. We’ll vacation at the [Andaz Prague]( (21,000 Hyatt points per night) and Park Hyatt Zurich (37,500 points per night), also all bookable by transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points. And then there's The Cape, A Thompson Hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which was my best redemption of 2024. I spent 30,000 Hyatt points per night and, as a [World of Hyatt Globalist]( applied a Hyatt [suite upgrade award](. We thoroughly enjoyed the Thompson Suite with its postcard-perfect ocean views (pictured above). If you don’t have a suite upgrade award, the suite costs 48,000 points per night. If, right about now, you’re wishing you also had 120,000 Ultimate Rewards points of your own to book trips like this, you're in luck. The Chase [Ink Business Preferred️® Credit Card]( is wrapping up a limited-time offer to earn [120,000 Ultimate Rewards points]( after spending $8,000 in the first three months of holding the card. But this deal expires Sept. 5, so this is the last call if you want to use these points like I do to unlock dream vacations. And the good news is that all kinds of businesses are [eligible to apply](. I talked it up to my neighbor who has real estate investments — Ink is now his card of choice to pay the insurance premiums on those properties. Are you a teacher who offers day care or tutoring in the summer? That counts as a business. Are you a crafter gearing up for this fall’s holiday fairs? You may be eligible for this card, too. Learn everything you need to know about getting this top offer of the year and maximizing the points: - [TPG’s expert card review of the Ink Business Preferred]( - [Who is eligible for the 120,000-point bonus on the Chase Ink Business Preferred card?]( - [How to meet minimum spending on the Ink Business Preferred: Now $8,000 in 3 months]( - [How to redeem Chase Ultimate Rewards points for maximum value]( [The benefits of the Ink Business Preferred]( are tremendous for any small business or side hustle. This card powers the business I share with my husband, and then the points we earn with it take us around the globe. Just remember, the [limited-time 120,000-point offer]( ends in just a few days.
