Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program<\/a><\/span> can offer some incredible value. It’s no surprise that the currency appears near the top of TPG’s July 2026 valuations<\/a><\/span>, checking in at 2.05 cents per point each.<\/p>\n

But one of my favorite things about the Ultimate Rewards program is how you can easily transfer points between your Chase credit cards<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

By combining Ultimate Rewards points into a single account, you can maximize the value you get out of every redemption. And you can even do this with a household member.<\/p>\n

With solid offers across Chase’s product portfolio, including the return of the highest-ever welcome bonus on the Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>), now could be the perfect time to familiarize yourself with this strategy for maximizing your Chase points<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

So, here’s a tutorial on how to transfer Ultimate Rewards points between accounts and a look at when to consider doing so.<\/p>\n

Overview of this strategy<\/h2>\n

Let’s start with a brief overview of why this is so powerful. The various cards that participate in the Ultimate Rewards program have different redemption structures. Some are billed as cash-back. Others allow transfers to partner programs and feature Points Boost<\/a><\/span>, which can extend the value of select redemptions via Chase Travel\u2120<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: Chase allows you to easily pool your rewards into the account that offers the most value.<\/p>\n

Even better? You can also do this with a member of your household, putting that next dream trip within reach.<\/p>\n

Which cards allow you to combine points?<\/h3>\n

The Ink Business Premier\u00ae Credit Card<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a><\/span>) is also issued by Chase, but you can’t combine those rewards with other cards.<\/p>\n

However, when you hold the Chase Sapphire Reserve, the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, the Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Ink Business Preferred, you can effectively convert those cash-back rewards into more valuable points.<\/p>\n

There are two different types of transfers you can make:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Transfer points between accounts where you’re the primary cardholder.<\/li>\n
  2. Transfer points between your account and a member of your household.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to get started<\/h3>\n

    The first thing you’ll need to do is ensure that your Ultimate Rewards-earning credit cards are all associated with the same online account \u2014 especially if you just got a new one, which should automatically appear shortly after getting approved.<\/p>\n

    Note that you can have other (non-Ultimate Rewards) accounts associated with the same Chase username. I currently have several others on the same online account, making it easier to manage all my cards.<\/p>\n

    How to combine Chase Ultimate Rewards points<\/h2>\n

    To combine your Chase points, start by logging in to the account from which you want to transfer points \u2014 be it yours or a household member’s account. Click on an Ultimate Rewards card from the homepage, then click “Redeem” next to your rewards balance.<\/p>\n

    This will launch the Ultimate Rewards portal. At the top, click on “Rewards details” to see the “Combine points” option.<\/p>\n

    How to transfer Chase points between your cards<\/h3>\n

    The easier method is moving points among your cards. After clicking the “Combine points” option, enter the number of points you want to transfer (or click the link to move all of them). Then, choose the account where you want to move your rewards and click “Next” at the bottom.<\/p>\n

    Review the details, then click “Submit” when you’re ready to process the transfer.<\/p>\n

    This will likely trigger a security verification (typically in the Chase app), so follow the prompts on the screen.<\/p>\n

    Once successful, you’ll see a confirmation page with the details.<\/p>\n

    Your new balance should also be reflected at the top of the page, as these transfers happen instantaneously.<\/p>\n

    How to transfer Chase points to another person<\/h3>\n

    In addition to combining your points in a single account, you can also use this functionality to transfer points to (or from) another person’s account.<\/p>\n

    However, before doing so, read the terms and conditions of combining Ultimate Rewards points:<\/p>\n

    You can move your points, but only to another Chase card with Ultimate Rewards belonging to you, or one member of your household<\/strong>. If we suspect that you’ve engaged in fraudulent activity related to your credit card account or Ultimate Rewards, or that you’ve misused Ultimate Rewards in any way (for example by buying or selling points, moving or transferring points with or to an ineligible third party or account, or repeatedly opening or otherwise maintaining credit card accounts for the sole purpose of generating rewards or manufacturing spend, repeatedly opening or otherwise maintaining credit card accounts for the sole purpose of generating rewards) we may temporarily prohibit you from earning points or using points you’ve already earned. If we believe you’ve engaged in any of these acts, we’ll close your credit card account.<\/em><\/p>\n

    When you transfer points to someone else’s Ultimate Rewards account, they must be a member of your household (or an owner of the business for Chase Ink cards<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

    Currently, when you transfer points to another individual’s account for the first time, you’ll need to call the number on the back of your card. Explain to the agent that you’d like to combine your points with a household member. The agent will then ask for the card number of your household member before you can initiate a transfer.<\/p>\n

    After calling, your household member’s account should appear online for future transfers.<\/p>\n

    Once you’ve added a household member’s account, the process is identical to what I outlined above. You’ll choose how many points to transfer, review the details and then submit the transfer request.<\/p>\n

    When to transfer Ultimate Rewards points between accounts<\/h2>\n

    Now that you know how to combine Ultimate Rewards points into a single account, you may wonder when it makes sense to do so.<\/p>\n

    Here are three times you’ll want to consider combining Ultimate Rewards points into one account.<\/p>\n

    Converting cash-back rewards to Ultimate Rewards points<\/h3>\n

    As I discussed earlier, cards like the Chase Freedom Unlimited<\/a><\/span> are not simply cash-back cards. If you also have a premium card, such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve<\/a><\/span> or the Chase Sapphire Preferred<\/a><\/span>, you can convert your cash-back rewards into Ultimate Rewards points.<\/p>\n

    Ultimate Rewards points are typically most valuable when redeemed directly for travel, particularly when you transfer to partners like Hyatt<\/a><\/span> and United Airlines<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

    For example, let’s say you have both the Sapphire Preferred and the Chase Freedom Unlimited. The Freedom Unlimited offers these bonus categories that the Sapphire Preferred does not:<\/p>\n
