What Is the Chase Travel Portal?
The Chase Travel Portal is an online platform available to Chase customers, especially
those with Chase Sapphire Preferred®, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, and Chase
Freedom® cards. The portal allows users to book flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacation
packages using Chase Ultimate Rewards points or a Chase credit card. Additionally, the
portal integrates with leading airlines, hotels, and car rental companies, making it a
convenient tool for booking travel.
Whether you’re booking a domestic flight or a luxurious international getaway, the Chase
Travel Portal provides competitive rates and seamless booking. But sometimes, plans
change, and you may need to modify or cancel your flight. Here’s how to go about it.
Steps to Change or Cancel a Flight Through the Chase
Travel Portal
1. Log Into Your Chase Account
The first step is to log into your Chase account on the official Chase website or the Chase
mobile app. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to create one.
Once logged in, navigate to the Chase Ultimate Rewards section. You’ll find all your
bookings, points balance, and recent transactions here.
2. Find Your Flight Reservation
Once you’re in the Ultimate Rewards section, locate the flight booking you want to change or
cancel. You should see an option labeled "Manage Reservations" or "View Details." Click on
it to access the specifics of your flight.
3. Select Change or Cancel
? Change Flight: If you need to change your flight dates or destination, look for the
option to Change Flight. Chase Travel allows changes depending on the airline's
policies and the terms and conditions of the ticket you purchased. Keep in mind that
change fees may apply, depending on the airline and ticket type.
? Cancel Flight: If you need to cancel your flight, there will be a "Cancel Flight" button.
Some bookings may be eligible for a full refund if they fall within the airline’s
cancellation policy or if they are refundable tickets. For non-refundable tickets, Chase
Travel may offer the option to apply your funds as a credit for future travel.
4. Review Airline Policies
Chase Travel provides general guidelines for changes or cancellations, but specific airline
policies apply. Flight changes often come with fees, and depending on the type of ticket you
booked (refundable vs. non-refundable), cancellation fees may vary.
Before proceeding with your flight change or cancellation, it’s essential to review the airline’s
cancellation policy, as well as any additional fees that might apply.
5. Confirm Changes or Cancellations
Once you’ve selected the change or cancel option, you’ll be prompted to confirm your
decision. You may be required to pay any change fees or additional charges (if applicable)
before the new booking is confirmed.
If your cancellation is successful, you will receive a cancellation confirmation email, along
with information regarding refunds or future travel credits.
6. Contact Chase Travel Support (If Needed)
If you encounter any issues or need assistance with your booking, Chase Travel Support is
available 24/7. You can reach customer service through the following methods:
? Phone: Call 1-888-383-8680 for direct support.
? Live Chat: Use the live chat option on the Chase website or mobile app for real-time
assistance.
? Email: Contact support via the “Contact Us” page for non-urgent inquiries.
Chase’s travel agents will help you navigate the airline’s policies, assist with processing
changes or cancellations, and help resolve any issues related to your booking.
Chase Travel Portal: Key Considerations When
Changing or Cancelling a Flight
When using the Chase Travel Portal to change or cancel your flight, there are several
important factors to consider:
Refunds for Canceled Flights
? Refundable Tickets: If you booked a refundable flight through Chase Travel, you
should be eligible for a full refund. However, this refund may take several business
days to process, depending on the airline and your payment method.
? Non-Refundable Tickets: For non-refundable tickets, you might not receive a refund
but could be eligible for a travel credit. The amount of the credit and its expiration will
depend on the airline’s policies.
Travel Credits for Future Flights
Many airlines provide travel credits for future bookings if you cancel a non-refundable flight.
However, these credits often come with expiration dates. It’s essential to read the terms and
conditions to avoid missing out on using your travel credit within the specified window.
Change Fees
Airlines typically charge change fees when you modify your booking, though these can vary
depending on the airline, ticket class, and route. Be sure to check for change fee waivers or
discounted fees if you’re a Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Chase Sapphire Preferred®
cardholder, as some premium cardholders enjoy certain perks and waived fees.
Airline-Specific Policies
Different airlines have varying policies for flight changes and cancellations. Some airlines,
such as Southwest Airlines, have flexible policies allowing free changes or cancellations.
On the other hand, airlines like American Airlines or United Airlines may impose higher
fees for modifications. Always review your airline’s specific terms before taking action.
