List of Chase transfer partners
Best Ultimate Rewards transfer partners
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to over 10 partners. While there are some partners that are significantly better than others, you can easily get value out of most of their partners.
Listed below are a handful of the best airline and hotel rewards programs for getting great value out of your points.
World of Hyatt
The easiest way to get exceptional value with little to no effort is by transferring your points to the World of Hyatt program. Hyatt Points are worth 1.8 cents each on average, but it's very easy to get over 2 cents per point when redeeming points for free nights at most Hyatt brand hotels.
United Airlines MileagePlus
Chase Ultimate Rewards is the only major U.S. bank rewards program that allows you to transfer your rewards to United MileagePlus. This makes the Ultimate Rewards program the best way to quickly earn United Miles outside of using United's own credit cards.
United Miles are worth about 1.3 cents each on average when used to fly domestically around the United States. You can get higher value using them for Business Class and First Class flights with United and select airline partners as well as great value using them to fly internationally.
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards
Southwest Rapid Rewards is another airline in which Chase Ultimate Rewards is the sole major U.S. transfer partner. Southwest offers five credit cards of it's own which features great benefits and earning rates, but Chase is the better option when it comes to quickly earning lots of points via intro bonuses.
Southwest isn't part of any airline alliance and they are not partnered with any airline. Rapid Rewards Points are worth around 1.3 cents and they don't fluctuate often, so you'll always know how much your points are worth on average.
Southwest is great for flying domestically in the U.S. or flying to select destinations such as the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is a direct transfer of Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards and Citi ThankYou Rewards. This makes it extremely easy to build Virgin Atlantic Points via intro bonuses and credit card spending.
Virgin Atlantic Points are worth about 1.2 cents each on average, but can be worth more when redeemed for first and business class with Virgin Atlantic and partners. They are especially great for booking flights on Delta One as well as flights between the U.S. and Europe.
British Airways Executive Club
If you want to hop between different destinations in Europe, British Airways Avios is one of the best ways to do it. Avios are worth 1 cent each on average for economy flights, but you can get as much as 2 cents per point for business class flights.
Avios points are best used for short-haul flights in Europe as well as short-haul flights with oneworld partners such as American Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Another big plus to British Airways Avios is that they can be converted to Qatar Avios and Ibera Avios at a 1:1 ratio which opens up additional redemption options that can offer high value.
