Chase Ritz Visa $300 Travel Credit Question?

ddemari — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 20:41:26 GMT

So I have been doing googling and think I have found the question to my anwser, but I just want to get some clarification because some site info is confusing on different sites and even chase's site.

I am flying American Airlines tomorrow, I actually booked my ticket through Orbitz because the deal was great. I went onto my AA app and checked in and it asked me if I would like to upgrade to First Class for 90 dollars. Having the 300 dollar chase credit, I said why not. I paid for my seat upgrade with the RItz Visa.

Once this posts to my account, this would be something that I can call up chase and ask for the statement credit on, right?

Thanks!

Yes that's a reimbursable charge. Ive always sent them a SM and they take care of it rather quickly. I would let it post and wait a couple weeks though before calling to see if it's reimbursed on its own.

Awesome, Thanks Irish! I just wanted to double double check because I will be doing the same thing on the return flight home and dont really want to pay out of pocket for it. Again, thank you!

I wish the airline credit was as broad as it is for the Citi Prestige. That would be AWESOME!

Yes, JPM Ritz's Airline credit most assuredly includes ugrades! For me, it's been standard practice to book a coach fare with either points or cash (highest reward CC of course!), then upgrade to First class with JPM Ritz.

Have a great flight!

Just curious, why didn/t you book directly with AA? Are Orbitz fares generally lower than the ones published on the Airline's website?

Thanks.

Chase does not reimburse charges automatically to my knowledge, and requires that you either call and request, or send a secure message and request.

As others have said, upgrade fees are included in the offer terms, so you're good.

If you have any remaining airline credit left, I'd suggest using it one way or another, as come dec 31 it will reset and you'll miss out on anything left.

I booked through orbitz because I got a shockling low plane ticket to vermont. Ohare to Burlington VT direct via American Airlines, 400-500 dollars. Orbitz had a Chicago to VT for 230 with a 30 min lay over in philly. Normally I Book through one of airlines like AA OR united but the orbitz offer was just there and easier.
