Chase is a major financial services company and subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase & Co., operating as one of the largest credit card issuers in the United States. Within the hotel industry, Chase holds significant influence through co-branded credit card partnerships with major hotel chains, including relationships with both Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Marriott International. These partnerships generate substantial revenue streams for hotel operators through cardholder acquisition, spending volume, and loyalty program integration.

The company's card offerings affect how guests accumulate points, redeem rewards, and engage with hotel loyalty programs.
