Can I transfer Chase points to airlines?

Yes — you can transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points to airlines. Chase partners with several major airline loyalty programs, and transfers are done at a 1:1 ratio (meaning 1,000 Chase points = 1,000 airline miles).

✈️ Airline Transfer Partners (2026)

• Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer

• Emirates Skywards

• Iberia Plus

• Aer Lingus AerClub

🔑 How Transfers Work

• Transfers are made through the Ultimate Rewards portal.

• You must transfer in increments of 1,000 points.

• Most transfers are instant, but some (like Singapore Airlines) may take up to a few days.

• Once transferred, points cannot be moved back to Chase.

📌 Why It’s Valuable

• Airline miles can unlock premium cabins (business/first class) and international flights at far better value than booking through the Chase Travel portal.

• Example: A business class flight that costs $4,000 might be available for 70,000 miles — giving you a redemption value of 5–6¢ per point, much higher than the 1.25–1.5¢ you’d get in the portal.

In short: Yes, Chase lets you transfer points to 10 airline partners at a 1:1 ratio, often unlocking much higher value than using points directly in the travel portal.
