Bonus Offer

Earn 90,000 bonus points after you spend $8,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

Get a 70% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to IHG One Rewards.

Offer expires on Jan 15, 2025

Get 70% Bonus IHG One Rewards points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 3rd transfer bonus from Chase to IHG One Rewards this year. One was 60% and one was 80%. This is right in between at 70%.

My same thinking applies whether 60%, 70% or 80%.

Do some sample searches before considering this bonus as we value an IHG point around 0.4 cents and a Chase point around 1.75 cents making the math here hard to justify. It’s a bit better if you have an IHG Premier or IHG Business Premier credit card which gives the 4th night free on awards.

Get a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France Flying Blue.

Offer expires on Jan 15, 2025

Get 20% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 5th transfer bonus from a credit card rewards program to Flying Blue this year, all ranging from 20% – 25%.

Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as just 50,000 Flying Blue miles. That would be just 42,000 credit card points during this promotion!

Flying Blue is often the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic, however with Virgin’s new dynamic pricing you really have to compare the pricing on both programs as it can now be cheaper with Virgin in some cases. Flying Blue can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members when Saver award space is available.

This is the 3rd transfer bonus this year of 20% from Chase to Aeroplan.

When used on Wanna Get Away fares, 1.3 cents is the approximate value you get. On certain international routeswith high taxes, however, you may be able to yield close to 2 cents. Those are the exceptions to the rule, though, so I peg the value at 1.4 cents.

Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..

They have a similar network to AA in terms of reach via the Star Alliance and also (unlike Delta) allow for booking First Class international awards in the Star Alliance network, but they charge noticeably more for Partner Awards and the rates keep (stealthily) rising. United partner Lufthansa tends to have good availability to Europe making it somewhat easier to use to Europe than American, which relies heavily on British Airways and BA charges incredibly steep surcharges on those awards.

Get a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France Flying Blue.

Get 20% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 5th transfer bonus from a credit card rewards program to Flying Blue this year, all ranging from 20% – 25%.

Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as just 50,000 Flying Blue miles. That would be just 42,000 credit card points during this promotion!

Flying Blue is often the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic, however with Virgin’s new dynamic pricing you really have to compare the pricing on both programs as it can now be cheaper with Virgin in some cases. Flying Blue can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members when Saver award space is available.

Get a 70% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to IHG One Rewards.

Offer expires on Jan 15, 2025

Get 70% Bonus IHG One Rewards points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 3rd transfer bonus from Chase to IHG One Rewards this year. One was 60% and one was 80%. This is right in between at 70%.

My same thinking applies whether 60%, 70% or 80%.

Do some sample searches before considering this bonus as we value an IHG point around 0.4 cents and a Chase point around 1.75 cents making the math here hard to justify. It’s a bit better if you have an IHG Premier or IHG Business Premier credit card which gives the 4th night free on awards.

Aeroplan does not pass along any fuel surcharges, making this a great program for Star Alliance flights. Two huge additional benefits are a stopover on your trip for just 5,000 miles and a lap infant (under 2) is just $25 CAD. One small negative is that they do have fees for cancelling an award ticket.

Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..
