No, the Chase Sapphire Reserve does not offer any benefits designed specifically for American Airlines travelers. American Airlines is not among Chase’s airline partners, either. So, cardholders can’t transfer Ultimate Rewards points to the American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty program.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Travel Benefits That Apply to American Airlines

Chase Sapphire Reserve offers extensive travel rewards, which also apply to American Airlines purchases. For instance, the card offers an annual travel credit as reimbursement for travel related expenses, including American Airlines flights.

You also earn extensive rewards that include travel expenses, such as 1 - 10 points per $1 spent on purchases. Chase Sapphire Reserve points can also be redeemed to book American Airlines flights through Chase Ultimate Rewards.

However, there are a number of Chase credit cards that offer rewards for booking American Airlines flights. Just keep in mind that with most of these cards, you are required to book your flight through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal in order to earn additional rewards.
