  4. Transfer only what you needMinimum 1,000 points, in 1,000-point steps. Transfer at the moment you book, not before.
  5. Book the award10 of 14 Chase partners usually arrive within minutes; others take a day or more. Book as soon as the points land.

Ratios checked November 1, 2026.

What is the best way to use Chase points?

Transfer to an airline partner for a premium-cabin award, where points are often worth 2 cents or more. Well-known options: ANA business/first to Japan via Virgin Atlantic (Business 52,500 (West Coast) / 60,000 (Central & East) one-way), Aeroplan partner business to Europe (East Coast) (60,000 one-way (75,000 for 4,001-6,000 mi, e.g. West Coast/Midwest)) and Aeroplan stopover on one-way awards (+5,000 points). Always confirm award space before transferring; transfers can't be undone.

How much are Chase points worth?

Cashing out usually gets about 0.6 to 1.1 cents per point. A good transfer redemption gets about 1.25 to 1.75 cents, and premium-cabin sweet spots can reach 2 to 5 cents. Compare against the cash fare you would actually pay.

How do I transfer Chase points to airlines?

To transfer Chase points, find and confirm the award seat first, then sign in at chase.com → Ultimate Rewards → Transfer to travel partners, link your airline account and transfer only what you need (minimum 1,000 points, in 1,000-point steps).

How long do Chase transfers take?

Most Chase transfers are instant or arrive within a day or two, but some partners take longer. Check the partner list above, and only transfer once you've confirmed the award seat is bookable.
