Chase Paze Promotion Explained: How to Earn 10x-14x Chase Points

Episode Description

Have you heard about the quiet Chase promotion that could be one of the biggest points-earning opportunities we’ve seen in years?

In May 2026, Chase launched a promotion through the digital payment platform Paze that allows cardholders to earn 10 times Chase Ultimate Rewards points on eligible transactions—and up to 14 times on certain cards through the end of 2026. Dr. Michelle Walther and I discuss why we were initially skeptical of this opportunity and why we’ve become convinced it could be genuinely significant for points enthusiasts.

Michelle and I break down how the Paze platform works, which Chase personal cards are eligible, what merchants currently accept Paze, and the surprising opportunities we’ve already discovered to maximize this promotion. We share the real purchases we’ve tested, the points we’ve already earned, the glitches we’ve encountered, and the stacking strategies that could generate enormous numbers of Chase points over the next seven months. We also discuss everything from Disney gift cards to DoorDash to gift card retailers like Newegg that make this promotion far more valuable than the merchant list initially suggests.
