Design Principles

  • Focus on needs

    Personalize offers based on Chase customer data and allow Chase customers to purchase offers with their Ultimate Rewards points.

  • Value not features

    Offer a seamless, simplified travel planning, booking and on-the-go experience.

  • Design with data

    Aggregate travel offers and travel content from premium travel partners.

    Enable travel, making every step easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful.

  • Accessible and inclusive

    Chase embraces accessibility, and we made sure Passport was usable for everyone

  • Lasting and reusable

    Passport and Ultimate Rewards has continued to prosper and grow since launch

  • DISCOVERY AND RESEARCH

    It takes the average traveler 9.5 Internet sessions to book a vacation, during which they visit 22 different sites.

  • DEFINING OPPORTUNITY

    No single site offers: Inspiration, Comparison, Transaction and Itinerary Management (for Members or from Chase)

  • STRATEGY AND IDEATION

    Offer travelers a vastly simplified travel planning experience at all steps in the travel lifecycle, focusing specifically on integrated itinerary, integrated checkout, and integrated servicing.

  • THOUGHT LEADERSHIP AND CONSENSUS

    Provide guidance, clarity, and value to help stakeholders and leadership align on strategies and concepts. 

  • PROTOTYPE AND TEST

    As soon as we had an execution to validate, we began experiencing it in every way possible. We brought in Chase cardmembers to provide feedback on both concepts and designed experiences (user testing).

  • PARTNER AND ENHANCE

    Identify content, inventory and service partners to provide best-in-class experiences
