Cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards

Before you transfer

  • Transfers go one way. Once points move to a partner they can't come back, so transfer only when the award you want is there to book.
  • Ratios change. Issuers add and drop partners and run limited-time transfer bonuses. Check the terms on the day you move.
  • "Instant" usually means minutes. Some partners take days, and an award seat can disappear while points are in transit.
  • Blocks and names. Most transfers go in blocks of 1,000, and the airline or hotel account must be in your own name.

When points expire
Points do not expire while the card account is open and in good standing. Points left on a card you close can be lost, so move them to another Ultimate Rewards card first.
