Chase Ultimate Rewards® points are one of the most valuable travel points programs. With airline partners like United, Southwest, JetBlue, Air Canada, FlyingBlue, and Virgin Atlantic, you can redeem your points for plenty of domestic or international travel options. 

That’s why I want to be able to have as many Chase Ultimate Rewards® points as possible to transfer to partners. There’s a way you can transfer points you earn between your Chase cardholding accounts.

Cards that let you combine Chase points 

First things first: if you want to transfer Chase points to travel partners, you’ll need to have one of the following cards:

The following are cash-back cards, but your rewards come in the form of Chase Ultimate Rewards® points. You can transfer your points from the following cards:

Why transfer points? 

Transferring Chase points from one of my cards to another card allows me to use the Chase Ultimate Rewards® points I earn on cash-back cards for travel points. This is especially valuable when there’s a supersized welcome bonus I’m earning, or a cash-back card earns a high bonus point rate (such as 5X on a specific type of purchase).

Example

Every month, I pay for my internet on the Ink Business Cash® Card, allowing me to earn 5% on internet, cable, and phone services (up to $25,000). On a $65 internet bill, I could redeem those 325 points for $3.25 statement credit and lower my bill. However, I prefer to transfer those 325 points to my Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card where I can eventually redeem those points to transfer to an airline.

Is 325 points going to get you a free flight? No. But moving 325 points each month becomes 3,900 extra points over a year. That alone won’t cover a flight, but it does give you a bit of a head start.  

How to move Chase points between cards

After logging into your Chase account on the web or on the mobile app:

  1. Select the cash back card whose points you want to move. 
  2. Select Ultimate Rewards® section. (You can also start at your Ultimate Rewards® homepage and select the desired card there.)  
  3. From the dropdown menu called Rewards Details, scroll to find the option Combine Points.

  1. The next screen will display all the Chase cards you have that earn Ultimate Rewards® points. You’ll see two columns: From and To. In the From column, select the card you want to move points from. This will likely be a cash-back earning card. combine-ur-chase-points.webp
  2. In the To column, select the card you want to move your points to. This should be a card that allows you to transfer Ultimate Rewards® points to travel partners: the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card, or Ink Business Preferred. Click Next.
  3. The new screen asks you to enter how many points you want to move. Enter the number you want to move. Click Review.

Because points post after the statement closes, I go through this process each month, after paying off my bill in full. This is just another step in my monthly personal finance routine. 

Things to know about transferring points between Chase cards

  • Ultimate Rewards® points do not expire as long as you have the account open.
  • There are no fees to combine Chase points.
  • There is no limit to how many times you can move Chase points. 
  • You can move points to other members of your household.
  • You can also move points back and forth between your cards.

Tip

Unlike Amex, which connects your business credit card and personal cards under one login ID, Chase requires you to have a separate business account login. You can transfer points from a business card to a personal card, but to do so, you’ll need to login under your Chase Business account to access the business card’s points.
