Our “Famous Card Explorer”

Our Credit Card Explorer lets you narrow down the overwhelming selection of available credit cards to only the ones that match your exact preferences.

Your Best Credit Cards has partnered with CardRatings and MyBankTracker for our coverage of credit card products. Your Best Credit Cards and our partners may receive compensation from card issuers when a customer clicks on a link, when an application is approved, or when an account is opened. Some or all of the offers that appear on Your Best Credit Cards are from advertisers and may influence how and where products are displayed on the site, as well as their rankings in tables. Your Best Credit Cards does not include all card companies, banks, or all available card or bank offers. Commissions do not affect or prioritize placement within our Card Explorer results, and not all cards displayed earn us a commission.

☝ Increased Offer

Earn 75,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Offer expires on Jul 14, 2026

Flash Sale! Get 30% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on June 9, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on July 14, 2026.

You can view past transfer bonuses to Virgin Red and past transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic which range as high as 40%.

Redeem for flights starting at 6,000 points. We like using points for domestic Delta flights (when there is availability!) as well as for SkyTeam flights and, of course, ANA First and Business Class flights. Virgin’s own flight rewards are dynamically priced but with high surcharges. I’d been seeing a lot of Upper Class seats from 29,000 points but I’m not seeing much now so do some homework on what you are hoping to book before transferring.

ANA First and Business class awards:

  • First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
  • First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

(Note that you can book one way for half the price of the points price listed. Also you must call to book these. Find availability on United’s site first. If you see it there, Virgin can usually, but not always, book the same for much less. Also, there have been reports that award availability between the US mainland and Japan isn’t bookable through Flying Club within 14 days of departure.)

Get up to a 65% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy.

Tiered by Date (55% - 65%)
Offer expires on Jun 30, 2026

Early birds get more points! Get 65% bonus Marriott Bonvoy® points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on May 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on May 15, 2026. When the early bird offer ends, get 55% bonus Marriott Bonvoy points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on May 16, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on June 30, 2026. Bonus points will be awarded by Marriott Bonvoy in your Marriott Bonvoy account up to 7 days after your transfer is complete.

Chase just ran a transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy, which ended on February 28, 2026, for 50%. This is unquestionably better, but it doesn’t change the math much on how I’d view this transfer bonus:

This is almost never a good transfer unless you are topping off for an award you are ready to book. Keep in mind that we value a Chase point at roughly 3X the value of a Marriott Bonvoy point.

However, there are always exceptions and you might find a 5 night stay (5th night free) where the transfer makes sense so do the math – but you likely do not want to transfer speculatively unless you are a Bonvoy pro and believe you will exceed value you can get via other transfer partners. Also keep in mind this transfer can take up to 48 hours.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners. We use an average value that you can expect to get by utilizing your points for these transfer partners. In the Chase Travel℠ portal, Points Boost allows you to redeem for airfare or hotels with point values ranging from 1.5 - 2 cents depending on cabin class or hotel. Specific flights and hotels that appear in Point Boost vary. If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
