  1. 1

    Find the Chase Travel phone number in your booking confirmation email or your Chase account (it varies by card)

  2. 2

    Ask the agent what cancelling would return under the airline's rules. A non-refundable fare usually becomes a flight credit with the airline, often minus a change fee

  3. 3

    If the credit is clearly worth more than the new fare, cancel and use the airline credit toward the cheaper booking

Open Chase Travel website

The credit comes from the airline, not Chase, and the airline's rules decide how long it lasts and where it can be used. Confirm how any leftover balance is kept before you rebook, since Chase does not promise it.

Alaska Airlines change fees

Even when claiming through Chase Travel, the underlying fare class determines whether rebooking makes financial sense.

Alaska Airlines change fee by fare class

Saver (14+ days to departure)50% of ticket price
Saver (under 14 days)Non-changeable
Main Cabin & aboveFree

These are Alaska Airlines's fees. Chase Travel may also charge additional service fees. Confirm the total before proceeding.

Questions

Alaska Airlines via Chase Travel: price drop FAQ

Common questions about claiming a price drop on Alaska Airlines when booked through Chase Travel.

Contact Chase Travel, not Alaska Airlines. When you book through a travel booking site, that site holds your ticket and owns your reservation. Alaska Airlines cannot process refunds or changes on a ticket issued by Chase Travel. Doing so can wipe out the value left on your original ticket. We have documented 2 verified methods on this page.

Not as a federal right. The US 24-hour rule applies to tickets bought directly from the airline, not through booking sites like Chase Travel. What Chase Travel offers in the first 24 hours is in the first method on this page; on some sites it depends on the airline's fare rules.

Always contact Chase Travel. Your ticket was issued by Chase Travel, not the airline. If you contact Alaska Airlines directly to request a change or cancellation, the airline may handle it in a way that wipes out the value left on your original ticket. That is a common and expensive mistake. All changes must go through Chase Travel's website, app, or support line.

Inside Chase Travel's cancellation window, you typically receive a full cash refund to your original payment method. Outside that window, any fare difference is usually issued as a travel credit or Chase Travel rewards (such as OneKeyCash for Expedia), not cash. See the specific methods above for payout details.
