You earn 2X and 3X Chase Ultimate Rewards points when you use your Chase Sapphire Preferred Card and Chase Sapphire Reserve Card respectively on travel purchases. Well how does Chase define travel for this purpose? The following is directly from the Chase site….
“Merchants in the travel category include airlines, hotels, motels, timeshares, campgrounds, car rental agencies, cruise lines, travel agencies, discount travel sites, and operators of passenger trains, buses, taxis, limousines, ferries, toll bridges and highways, and parking lots and garages. Please note that some merchants that provide transportation and travel-related services are not included in this category; for example, real estate agents, websites or owners that rent properties, in-flight goods and services, sightseeing activities, including sightseeing activities that take place on vehicles such as dinner cruises and tour buses, tourist attractions, merchants within airports, and merchants that rent trailers, trucks, and other vehicles for the purpose of hauling.”
And there you have it!
