Chase Ultimate Rewards Points can be transferred to numerous Airline and Hotel rewards programs with an eligible card. This includes the Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Business Preferred.
Point transfers are 1-way only, so transfer only when you are ready to book a specific trip.
Be sure to check point valuation. Travel can always be booked directly with Chase at 1.5¢/pt with Sapphire Reserve card or 1.25¢/pt with Sapphire Preferred card. Only transfer if you are getting better value! Travel purchased through the Chase travel portal will also earn points and status, unlike award bookings.

Earning Chase Ultimate Rewards Points
Each Chase credit card has unique Ultimate Rewards Points earning capabilities.
In addition to having a card with points transfer ability, be sure to hold the Chase Freedom and Chase Freedom Unlimited partner cards. You can combine points with these other cash back cards.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Sapphire Reserve earn multiple points per dollar spent on travel and dining. The Chase Freedom card earns 5 points/dollar in categories that change quarterly, and the Chase Freedom Unlimited earns 1.5 points/dollar on all spend. Using the right card for different types of spend means you earn free travel even faster!
And they also have their own signup bonuses!
