Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards to their numerous airline and hotel partners is a simple and easy process. After a few steps, you’ll have those points transferred, often instantly, to your travel program and available to redeem for that award you’ve been looking for. One basic piece of advice is to make sure your award is available before you transfer the points into your program. You don’t want to transfer the points and then get those points “stuck” in that program.
Chase Ultimate Rewards program allows members to earn points with everyday spend on select Chase cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold Business Card, Ink Plus Business Card or the Ink Cash Business Card.
While Ultimate Rewards can be redeemed for gift cards and other products, the best value is to transfer them to either an airline or hotel partner.
Chase Airline partners include: British Airways, Korean Air, Southwest, United, and Virgin Atlantic
Chase Hotel partners include: Hyatt, Priority Club, Marriott, and Ritz-Carlton
Other Chase Transfer Partners: Amtrak

Step 3: Select Transfer Points to Travel Partners
Once on the Ultimate Rewards site, choose “Transfer Points to Travel Partners. Other options at the point include to use your miles to book a trip, or redeem for merchandise, but both of those options don’t give you as good of a value for your points as transferring directly to the partner does.

Step 5: Enter The Amount of Points
Enter the amount of points that you’d like to transfer into the travel program.
Step 6: Verify Selections
Verify the amount of points you’d like to transfer into the travel program.
Step 7: Verify transaction was completed
Finally, verify your transaction was completed. Most point transfers are instant, so you can usually head over to the airline or hotel partner’s site and see the points in that account.

Chase Ultimate Rewards is one of the most flexible programs to earn travel points with because you can transfer to several airline and hotel point programs. A few simple steps and you can transfer your hard earned Ultimate Rewards points to a program of your choice in order to redeem that award you’ve been waiting for.

Good stuff… anyone know if points transferred in this way give tier qualifying miles? I.e. if I transfer 100k Chase points to Southwest, will I get a companion pass?
No. Transferring from UR’s to SW does not qualify for companion pass. What I did was get 2 SW cards. One in my name and one on a business card.
I don’t think they have this option on the site anymore. can anyone confirm otherwise? I only see an option to pay myself and get cash. thank you.
Sorry if this seems a little lame but if you transfer points to say, with Korean Air, can you then use those points to book a flight on a Skyteam partner?
