Half the fun of having points and miles is finding creative ways to use them and smart ways to earn them. Right now, two of the best travel rewards cards<\/a>, the Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card<\/a> and the Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/a>, both have sign-up bonuses of 75,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a> points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.<\/p>\n

To show you exactly how far a lucrative sign-up bonus can take you, TPG challenged me and a few other teammates to use those 75,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points for a trip that illustrates their value; we also aimed to demonstrate the value of Chase’s many transfer partners<\/a>, which usually provide the most lucrative return.<\/p>\n

I knew I wanted to go somewhere far, somewhere warm and somewhere where my cash would go further. So, here’s how I used 75,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to fly round trip to Greece on Emirates and stay two nights at the Grand Hyatt Athens<\/a>. (Quick note: My trip was short, sweet and perfect, but you should use my experience as a jumping-off guide for a longer Greece or Europe getaway.)<\/p>\n
