Learn the art of metal embossing

Issuer: Chase

Points: 21,900 points

If you're a member of Chase's Ultimate Rewards program and have ever wanted to try your hand at metal embossing, you can use your points to sign up for a two-day class.

The workshop, which takes place in Irving, Texas, teaches various embossing techniques using stencils, rubber stamps, molds and clay to decorate different types of metals. Out-of-pocket students can enroll for $219, but it takes about $22,000 in charges to rack up enough points through your credit card.
