2. Connect Your Loyalty Accounts

Once you've made your choice of an airline partner, the subsequent step involves linking your loyalty accounts. This entails inputting your frequent flyer number for the selected airline partner. To execute this, choose the airline partner for your points transfer. Subsequently, enter your frequent flyer number for that specific airline and click "Continue."

Enter your frequent flyer number for that airline.

3. Execute the Points Transfer

After successfully linking your loyalty accounts, the next step is to carry out the transfer of your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to your chosen airline partner. Specify the number of points you wish to transfer and click "Next". Typically, the transfer is instantaneous, but there are scenarios where it may take up to 24 hours or more. Point transfers typically maintain a 1:1 ratio for Chase Ultimate Rewards, with occasional bonus transfer offers from Chase.

You'll have the opportunity to review your points transfer details, including your starting balance, ending balance, the Chase account you're transferring from, and your airline partner account. Keep in mind that point transfers are irreversible once you click "Submit."

4. Secure Your Award Flight

After successfully transferring your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to your airline partner, the final step entails booking your award flight. To accomplish this, log in to your airline loyalty account and initiate a search for available award flights. To save time, you can simplify this process by utilizing AwardTool to search for award flights across major airline loyalty programs, rather than navigating to each airline's website individually.
