If you have upcoming travel, you are probably looking to cancel to change your travel dates already. If booked directly with with hotels or airlines, you can make changes to your reservations directly with them. But if you have bookings through the Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel portal, wait times are crazy when you try calling in. Some people report waiting for hours and hours.
But there is an easier way for those who don't like long waits, or even human interaction for that matter. The Chase Ultimate Rewards Travel portal has an online form where you can request to cancel your travel reservation. This is not an immediate cancellation. Seems to be prioritized by date of travel, but it says they aim to confirm to you the amount of your refund within 7 business days. And make sure you want to cancel before you submit. Once it is submitted, you will not be able to cancel this request.
I have never used this form myself, but it sure beats waiting on a phone call forever. It is probably not a good idea for last minute cancellations though.
You need to be logged in your Chase account first, and then proceed to the following link: https://travel.chase.com/customersupport/travel-alert-refunds. You need to submit the following information:
Much easier than calling in but not well suited for last minute cancellations. Let know if you have used this feature and how it worked out.
