Chase Travel is here to inspire your next vacation and, hopefully, help you pay for it in points.
On Tuesday, Chase Travel released its first annual top destination list, the 25 Trips to Take In 2025. And thanks to "insights from in-house travel experts," it's chock-full of fantastic recommendations, including getaways in Thailand (which also happens to be Travel + Leisure's 2025 Destination of the Year), explorations of lesser-visited European destinations like Poland, and plenty of domestic zip codes worthy of a stay.
To help travelers make their dreams of traveling the selected destinations a reality, Chase is also launching Chase Travel’s 10 Million Points Giveaway. Here's how it works.
Now through Jan. 31, 2025, eligible Chase cardmembers can enter for a chance to win one of ten prizes of one Million Ultimate Rewards points, which they can use to plan their "ultimate trip." To enter, you must be the primary Chase card member of one of the participating cards (which include the Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, Chase Freedom Flex, Chase Freedom Unlimited, Chase Freedom Student, Freedom Rise, and the Ink Business Cash, Ink Business Unlimited, Ink Business Premier, and Ink Business Preferred) and be a U.S. resident who is 18 years old or older to enter. All you need to do is head to millionpoints.chase.com, pop in your details, and cross your fingers that you win.
As for where to go, Chase suggests spots like Marrakech and Greenland, as both make excellent quick getaways thanks to new non-stop flights from the U.S., along with more under-the-radar destinations like Peru's Colca Canyon over more well-traveled sites like Machu Picchu. You can even save a few bucks if you visit destinations like Antwerp, Belgium, and Warsaw, Poland, which, according to Chase, were about $500 cheaper on average than travel to more popular destinations like Rome in 2024.
Chase is also celebrating destinations that focus on getting you outside and honoring sustainability, like Kenya and Rwanda, thanks to their eco-friendly lodges and conservation projects. We're particularly big fans of the brand-new Bistate Reserve in Rwanda, which perfectly blends eco-friendliness with the luxury touches you all deserve. (And maybe you'll get punched by a gorilla when you go, too.)
And naturally, Chase agrees that Thailand is going to be the buzziest place to be for 2025 thanks to its soon-to-be pop culture moment on the next season of "The White Lotus." Ready to go? Enter to win, get those points, and take a trip … or two … or three … because 1 million points go surprisingly far.
