United MileagePlus is one of the most practical airline programs for award travel, thanks to its ever-growing route network<\/a> and access to a large partner network.<\/p>\n

If you earn Chase Ultimate Rewards<\/a> points, you can transfer them directly to United MileagePlus at a 1:1 ratio. Transfers are typically instant, but there are a few things you'll want to know before moving your points.<\/p>\n

Here's how to transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to United MileagePlus<\/a> in just a few simple steps \u2014 and when it makes sense to do so.<\/p>\n

When Does It Make Sense To Transfer Chase Points to United?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Transferring Chase points to United makes sense when you\u2019ve found an available award that offers better value than your other booking options. This might include an expensive domestic United flight, a last-minute trip, or a premium-cabin award on a Star Alliance partner.<\/p>\n

Before transferring, compare the United award price with the cash fare and the number of points you\u2019d need through Chase Travel<\/a>. For example, transferring 60,000 points for a $600 flight would yield no more than 1 cent per point after accounting for taxes and fees. Booking through Chase Travel may cost fewer points, depending on your card and whether Points Boost<\/a> is available.<\/p>\n

However, if the same $600 flight costs 20,000 United miles, you're much better off transferring points to book the award flight. Just check whether another Chase transfer partner offers the same flight for fewer points before you transfer.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve found the best option and confirmed availability, transfer only the number of points you need. Chase transfers to travel partners are irreversible.<\/p>\n
