Build the right reminder routine

Check calendar-year allowances in January, half-year allowances before June 30 and December 31, and the Chase travel-credit reset in your account. A hotel’s stay date or a ticket’s event date is not necessarily the date that determines which credit window is used.

Follow the linked guide for qualifying purchases, exclusions, examples and issuer sources. This schedule is a checklist, rather than a guarantee that a specific transaction qualifies.
