Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card, Gold Elite Status, Upgrades, Lounge Club, and Travel Reimbursement Updates

Good morning everyone, sorry for being MIA (missing in action, not Miami) the last few weeks.  I have been busy at work and haven’t had much time to work on any posts.  This post has a bunch of random information about the Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card.  Since I forgot to enter my Marriott account number when I applied for this credit card, I now have a Ritz-Carlton account with Ritz-Carlton Gold Elite Status (learn more below).  I also received 3 upgrade certificates in my account.

The upgrade certificates seem to be valid for 13 months from the date you were approved for the credit card.  I haven’t looked into these certificates yet, so I am not sure if they can be gifted to others or can only be used in your account.

Calling Chase Sapphire Preferred Customer Service about Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card Sunday Delivery

Good Sunday afternoon everyone, I just found out that my Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card is scheduled for delivery today via UPS Next Day Air.  I am so excited!  Here is how I found out…

My Chase online account does not show any new Chase credit cards.  I’ve checked several times since I was approved on Monday afternoon (link), but still the card has not shown up online.  One of my favorite tricks for Chase customer service is to call the Chase Sapphire Preferred department (800-493-3319).  I used to have a Chase Sapphire Preferred which I downgraded to a Chase Sapphire which I then converted to a Chase Freedom.  Anyway, if you call that number, they will answer in 10-20 seconds and be able to help you with any Chase account questions.

I called that number this morning and asked if they had any information regarding my Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card.  The very nice representative said that there were 2 UPS tracking numbers in the notes section linked to the Chase Ritz-Carlton Credit Card.  She said the 2 packages were sent out on Friday, December 19.  I plugged both tracking numbers into the UPS website and was able to see the tracking information.

According to UPS’s website, both packages are scheduled for early delivery today (ahead of tomorrow’s original scheduled delivery date).  I am writing this post and eagerly waiting for the UPS driver to knock on the front door.  Instead of Santa Claus bringing me presents, I have the UPS driver bringing me packages :)

Transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points from the Chase App

Chase recently updated their smartphone app for iOS and Android with the ability to transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points to their travel partners.  I will show you how I recently transferred Chase Ultimate Reward Points to Southwest Airlines on my iPhone.  The process should work the same on an Android phone.  You can follow these steps to transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points to any of their travel partners.  Without further ado, download the Chase app to your smartphone and log into your Chase account.

Log Into Chase App

Navigate to the Chase account that has Chase Ultimate Reward Points – either a Chase Sapphire Preferred (personal account) or a Chase Ink Bold/Plus (business account).
