One of the best things about Chase Ultimate Rewards is the flexibility. You can transfer CUR points to a dozen different airlines plus Hyatt, IHG and Marriott. And you can do it on the fly!
Recently, I went on a college road trip and our plans were changing day by day. No problem. When I needed to book a last minute flight on Southwest, but I was short a few points, I just instantly transferred points from CUR to Southwest.
When I booked a Hyatt Hotel on short notice and I needed more Hyatt points, I could instantly transfer points from CUR to Hyatt.
Let me walk you through the steps to do this. It's a bit tricky at first, but once you know how, it's a breeze.
If you prefer to follow written steps, here you go:
- Login to your chase.com account and open the CUR dashboard
- Click on travel in the upper right hand corner, click on transfer points to partners
- You will see a list of airlines and hotels, click the one you want to transfer points to
- Click next and enter your loyalty number for the airline or hotel program (your name must match exactly)
- Enter how many points you would like to transfer. This must be in increments of 1,000 and you can't transfer them back
- Click submit. In my experience, this transfer will happen almost instantly especially with Southwest Airlines and Hyatt. But some could take a few days or even weeks.
