    Chase Ultimate Rewards points are extremely valuable if you’re looking to earn free travel. They’re relatively easy to earn and transfer directly to 13 airline and hotel partners, including World of Hyatt hotels and United Airlines. It’s easy to see why many MMS readers favor cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points and why they consistently make the list of our top credit cards for travel.

    It takes a handful of steps to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to any of Chase travel partners. Here’s how to do it:

    Transferring Ultimate Rewards points to Chase partners

    Log into your account

    Log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards account. At the top of the screen, you’ll see the option to “Transfer to Travel Partners.” Select this option.

    Select the travel partner

    Next, you’ll see a list of all Chase travel partners. Click the “Transfer Points” button next to the partner to which you’d like to transfer your rewards.

    Enter your loyalty program information

    You’ll then be asked to select whether you’re transferring points to yourself or to a member of your household. And you’ll also be asked to add your loyalty account number.

    After you’ve filled out this information, click “Continue.”

    Confirm the number of points to transfer

    You’ll have to enter the number of points you’d like to transfer in 1,000-point increments.

    Review and confirm the transfer

    The last step is to confirm the transfer. Once you do this, you won’t be able to reverse it. It’s wise to double-check all the information for accuracy and that the number of points you want to transfer is correct.

    That’s all there is to it.

    Although most transfers are instant, not all of them are. For example, Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfers to Singapore Airlines can take a few days. You’ll find estimated transfer times for all of Chase’s travel partners in our Chase travel partner guide.

    Earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points with these cards

    You can earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points to transfer directly to Chase’s airline and hotel partners with these three excellent card offers, all of which are on our list of the best Chase cards:

    Chase’s strict application rules apply to these cards, so if you’ve opened five or more cards from any bank (not counting certain business credit cards) in the past 24 months, you won’t be approved.

    You can also transfer points directly to travel partners if you have cards that are no longer available to new applicants such as the Chase Ink Plus or Ink Bold.

    But if you have any of the following no-annual-fee cards, you’ll first have to combine points with one of the above cards before you can transfer them to a partner airline or hotel:

    Remember to double-check your transfer because you can’t reverse it.
