Chase sent an email to Ink cardholders saying that the bank now offers the ability to cash out points to PayPal. However, the rate is only 0.8\u00a2 per point on your Ultimate Rewards. Here are the details and why you definitely shouldn\u2019t utilize this redemption option.<\/p>\n

The Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chase notified some Ink cardholders via email that among other ways to use points it now offers the ability to cash out via PayPal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The email itself has a link to start the process and also some fine print. It\u2019s only when you move further into the process that you see the cash-out rate of just 0.8\u00a2 per point.<\/p>\n

Why We Recommend Passing on This Offer<\/span><\/h2>\n

Having more flexibility with your points and various ways to use them is awesome. We\u2019re fans of that. However, you should always seek to maximize the value of your points. Typically, that comes with using Chase\u2019s transfer partners<\/a> to book travel via loyalty program redemptions.<\/p>\n

Conversely, if you\u2019re interested in getting cash back, there are still better options than the ability to cash out from Chase to PayPal at 0.8\u00a2 per point. You can redeem your points for select categories with Pay Yourself Back<\/a> and get a value of up to 1.25\u00a2 per point. You can also cash out your points at 1\u00a2 each and get a statement credit or direct deposit in your checking account.<\/p>\n

Thus, this PayPal redemption offer is actually one of the lowest-value uses of your Ultimate Rewards points. So, we recommend that you not utilize it.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n

Chase now offers the option for those with Ink business credit cards to cash out points to PayPal. On the surface, it sounds interesting. However, the cash-out rate is one of the lowest-value redemption options for your points — worse than just getting a statement credit or direct deposit in your bank account. We want you to be informed about this offer so you can understand that the best uses of your points lies elsewhere.<\/p>\n
