How to Add (MOST) Chase Credit Cards to ApplePay Wallet Directly from Chase App

Posted on by . Leave a reply

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  I was talking to my friend last night about adding Chase credit cards to his ApplePay Wallet and he wasn’t aware you could add them to the ApplePay Wallet directly from the Chase app.  So in today’s post, I will show you how to do that.  It appear there are 2 slightly different versions / interfaces of the Chase app, depending if you have both personal and business credit cards in the same login, or if you only have personal credit cards (scroll to the middle of this post to see those steps).

Personal and Business Credit Cards in the Same Login

Sign into the Chase app and click on the credit card you want to add to your ApplePay Wallet.  I selected my Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card.

PSA: ApplePay **DOES NOT WORK** with Chase IHG Rewards Select, Premier, or Business Credit Cards [Partially Resolved]

Posted on by . 9 Replies

Updated at 6:15pm PT on 2/6/23: This evening, I was able to add my Chase IHG Select Credit Card and Chase IHG Premier Credit Card to ApplePay, but I was not able to add my Chase IHG Business Credit Card.  My friend is still not able to add either of the personal IHG credit cards.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is off to a great start.  Earlier today, I noticed a great Chase Offer on several Chase credit cards for $5 off a $10 restaurant purchase.  I added the Chase Offer to all my eligible Chase credit cards, including my Chase IHG Select Credit Card (no longer available) and Chase IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card.  I don’t carry all of my credit cards with me, so I planned on adding those 2 Chase IHG credit cards to my ApplePay Wallet.  Unfortunately, after several attempts and after speaking with a few Chase phone reps, I learned that the personal IHG credit cards and the Chase IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card do not work on ApplePay.

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday!  I was working on my Buy Miles & Points Page and found 2 offers that end in the next week.  Always check the math to make sure that buying miles & points makes sense for you.  Do not buy miles & points speculatively unless you have a use in mind.  With that said, here are 2 offers that end soon.

Up first, Choice Hotels is offering up to a 25% discount, depending on the number of Choice Hotels Privileges Points you purchase.   This offer expires today – February 3.

Convert Choice Hotels Points to Cash with Bakkt App (32K Points = $100)

Posted on by . 6 Replies

Good afternoon everyone, I hope your week is going well.  Earlier this week, it became possible to convert Radisson Hotels Americas Points into Choice Hotels Points on a 2:1 exchange rate (2,000 Radisson Hotels Americas Points = 1,000 Choice Hotels Points). Last year, Choice Hotels partnered with the Bakkt app to allow you to convert points to cash.  If you now have Choice Hotels Points, you may want to consider converting some Choice Hotels Points to cash with the Bakkt app.

I do not plan on converting any Choice Hotels Points with Bakkt since I can get more value redeeming points for award stays.  You can also transfer Citi ThankYou Points to Choice Hotels Points at a 1:2 exchange rate (1,000 Citi ThankYou Points = 2,000 Choice Hotels Points).  If you do not have any plans to use your Choice Hotels Points for award stays and do not plan on transferring points into your Choice Hotels account, you may want to consider this option.

To get started, download the Bakkt app (iOS or Android), create an account, and then link your Choice Hotels account.  Currently, Bakkt only partners with Choice Hotels and Wyndham Hotels.  Click on your Choice account.
