Chase has really been upping their game this year by adding points partners left and right. They’ve added several partners to which you can transfer your Ultimate Rewards Points without any fees. Speaking of fees, I have to say that most times I’ve ever seen points transfer promotions I cringe because the fees usually eat of the value of the points. I’ve seen these occasionally with Delta Skymiles. If you don’t know what the value of your points are, then paying 2 cents per point to transfer them to someone else doesn’t seem so bad, but if you do your homework you quickly realize that the 2 cents are worth more than the points in the first place. That’s part of the reason why I think Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program is getting pretty darn good.
American Express was the pioneer of the rewards programs, and had the best program for a long time, but Chase is getting close to winning the title. Here are the programs you can transfer your points to:
Hotel Rewards Programs:
Hyatt Points
Priority Club Points
Marriott Rewards Points
Frequent Flyer Points
Southwest Rapid Rewards
United Mileage Plus Points
British Airways Avios Points
Continental OnePass
Korean Air Miles
Chase also has some serious promotions for earning more points:
The Chase online mall/portal has some serious point earning opportunities. For example Apple purchases can earn you 10 points per dollar. Use your card to buy a Macbook Pro, and you’d earn almost enough points for a free flight on that purchase alone!
