Chase periodically runs transfer bonuses that make Ultimate Rewards points go further to a specific partner for a limited time. They rotate, so the table below is a dated history for spotting patterns, not a list of live offers. Always confirm the current bonus at Chase before you transfer, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.

What the history tells you
Advertisement
A few patterns show up. Hotel bonuses to Marriott and IHG appear the most often and run large, sometimes 50 to 100 percent, but a bonus to a low-value program does not automatically make it a good deal. Airline bonuses to Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic, and Southwest show up a few times a year and are more useful because those miles are worth more per point to begin with. The practical move is to hold points in Ultimate Rewards and transfer only when a bonus lines up with an award you already want, since a bonus to a program you will not use is worth nothing.
Should you wait for a bonus?
Only if your trip is flexible. Transfer bonuses are unpredictable, and holding out for one can mean watching award space disappear. If you have found the seat you want and the math already works, book it. If your dates are open and you are building a balance, it is reasonable to wait for a bonus to a partner you use, like Hyatt-adjacent hotel stays through Marriott or a Flying Blue Promo Reward. Hyatt itself rarely sees transfer bonuses because it is already the strongest value.
FAQ
Does Chase have a fixed transfer bonus schedule?
No. Chase runs Ultimate Rewards transfer bonuses at its own discretion, with no published calendar. The history here shows the rough cadence, but you should always confirm the current offer at Chase.
Which partners get Chase transfer bonuses most often?
Historically Marriott and IHG see the largest and most frequent bonuses, often 50 to 100 percent. Airline bonuses to Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic, and Southwest appear a few times a year.
Should I transfer points speculatively during a bonus?
Usually not. Transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed, so only transfer when you have found an award you want. A bonus to a program you will not use has no value.
Where can I see the current Chase transfer bonus?
Check the Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer page while logged in, since live offers change frequently and are not reflected in any third-party history.
