Since shifting my Manufactured Spending activities to other cards, my Chase Amazon card has been put aside in lieu of other better earning cards. I was trying to figure out the best way to redeem the balance and reviewed the redemption options.
I remember reading from Mommy Points about the Chase Freedom offering a redemption of 25,000 Ultimate Rewards for a flight up to $335.
The same can be said for the Chase Amazon credit card. Redeem 25,000 points to cover a flight up to $335. This values the points at $.0134/pt
From the terms and conditions (can view on my Google Drive if Chase changes the doc):
• If you choose to book a ticket using the “fixed” ticket bonus option, and the actual ticket value is less, the number of points needed to redeem remains the same. For example, an offer to redeem 25,000 points for one roundtrip scheduled airline ticket valued at up to $335 will still require 25,000 points if the ticket you book is valued at $300
All you need to do is call the Chase Travel Agents at 1-855-234-2538 to book and let them know you want to use the fixed ticket redemption.
The fixed-value option may be better for travel that does not fit the old program which required a roundtrip ticket and had other restrictions. From FT, the original language is here http://web.archive.org/web/20120912030543/https://www.choosemyrewards.com/Media/C-AmazonConsumer.pdf and they are still honoring it, so 25K points can buy a domestic RT ticket up to $400, 45K up to $600 within N. America/Caribbean or 50K up to $800 to Europe and so on. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase-ultimate-rewards/1005760-chase-amazon-visa-consolidated-4.html
Wow! Thanks for the great find! Way better than the original post. I will update in a bit
