There are 13 Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partners, including 10 airlines and 3 hotels. Some of the most popular Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partners are United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Hyatt, Marriott and IHG. People with a Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve® or Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card can transfer their rewards points to a partner’s loyalty program. You can do so to pool them with points or miles already there as well as to redeem them for a flight or hotel reservation with the partner.

Transfers to Chase Ultimate Rewards partners are done at a 1:1 ratio, meaning you get one point or mile in a partner’s program for each Chase point. But that doesn’t mean your points will be worth the same amount after you transfer them to one of the Ultimate Rewards transfer partners. The value of hotel points and airline miles can vary a lot.

All transfers to Chase Ultimate Rewards partners are irreversible. Once you transfer your Ultimate Rewards points, you are subject to the rules, fees and redemption policies of the partner’s program.

Ultimate Rewards points transfer instantly into nearly all partner loyalty accounts. In some cases, such as the Marriott reward program, transfers may take up to 2 business days. You may also have to deal with blackout dates, seating limitations and varying mile values while navigating the Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partners.

Besides the Sapphire credit cards, Chase has several co-branded travel cards whose points can easily be redeemed for hotel nights, flights, and other travel purchases. One such card is the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card, which gives 3 points / $1 for all Marriott Bonvoy hotel purchases and 2 points/dollar on all other travel-related purchases.

Although the card has an annual fee of $0 intro 1st yr, $89 after, the rewards can more than cover that if you frequent IHG hotels – especially since you’ll get a free night after each account anniversary.

While Chase has many great rewards credit cards, the Chase Sapphire cards and co-branded hotel cards reward you the most for travel purchases.
