What is the Best Way to Use Chase Points?<\/span><\/h2>\n
Chase Ultimate Rewards are widely considered to be among the most valuable points available. Those that like to keep things simple may opt to redeem at a fixed value through the Chase TravelSM<\/sup> portal. But spending points this way can leave a lot of value on the table. In general, the best way to use Chase points is by transferring them to Chase partners.<\/p>\n
Why Chase Transfer Partners Offer More Value<\/span><\/h2>\n
Redeeming with Chase travel partners<\/a> requires a little more work than booking through Chase Travel, but it's usually well worth the extra effort.<\/p>\n
The reason transfers are often better than fixed-value redemptions is simple: Each partner program has it's own unique rules, fees, and prices. Sometimes an award ticket or free-night award will be a great deal; other times, not so much.<\/p>\n
The value lies in having a variety of options for any given trip. United Airlines might have terrible pricing for a short economy flight and offer an absolute steal for a business-class ticket to Europe. The exact opposite might be true for British Airways. Since both are 1:1 Chase transfer partners, you can pick the program with the best pricing for the trip you want to book.<\/p>\n

The fastest way to accumulate these valuable points is with an Ultimate Rewards credit card<\/a>. There are two consumer cards and one business card that grant full access to Chase's lineup of transfer partners:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- Chase Sapphire Reserve\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/li>\n
- Ink Business Preferred\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/a> (Rates & Fees<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/div>\nThe other Chase Ultimate Rewards cards earn points that can be redeemed through Chase Travel or converted to cash back, but they can't be transferred directly to partners. Fortunately, Chase allows you to combine points earned with any of the Ultimate Rewards cards<\/strong>. That means you can move your rewards balance from one of the no-annual fee cards in the list below to a premium card with access to partners.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Chase Freedom Flex\u2120<\/a><\/li>\n
- Chase Freedom Unlimited\u00ae<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n
- Ink Business Cash\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/a><\/li>\n
- Ink Business Unlimited\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To combine your points, head to the Chase website, choose the ‘Rewards details<\/em>‘ drop-down menu, and select ‘Combine points<\/em>‘.\u00a0You also combine points with another member of your household by calling the customer service number on your card.<\/p>\n

If you want to book a flight, the best way to use Chase points is by transferring them to one of 10 airline partners. On average, AwardWallet members redeem Chase points at 2.01\u00a2 each\u2014a significant improvement over the cash value you'll receive by booking through Chase Travel.<\/p>\n
Chase points typically transfer to these airline partners at a 1:1 rate, though occasional transfer bonuses can provide a boost. Transferring points is quick and easy on the Chase website, but don't make the huge mistake of taking this step without a plan! These transfers are final; the points cannot be redeposited into your Ultimate Rewards account.<\/strong><\/p>\n
