According to the Duden, you can either write "tschüs" or "tschüss". "Tschüß" is old spelling (before the orthography reform of 1996). If you write "tschüs", you would pronounce it with a long ü, while "tschüss" would indicate a short ü. Both variants are equally possible, though there may be regional preferences for the one or the other.

The Langenscheidt dictionary says exactly the same thing.
