December 10, 2024: Chase has released a new set of Ultimate Rewards® point transfer bonuses through January 15, 2025 and two of them are incredibly useful: Air Canada Aeroplan® and Air France KLM Flying Blue.
If you hold a premium Ultimate Rewards® credit card, you can transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to any one of Chase’s 11 airline transfer partners and three hotel transfer partners. Transfers to travel partners are key to maximizing the value of your Ultimate Rewards points and a transfer bonus can provide opportunity to get additional value.
Here’s what you need to know about the current Ultimate Rewards transfer bonuses.
Current Chase Ultimate Rewards® transfer bonuses in December 2024
Here are the current transfer bonuses offered by Chase Ultimate Rewards®:
- Air Canada Aeroplan®: 20% bonus. 1,000 points = 1,200 Aeroplan® points from December 4, 2024 through January 15, 2025.
- Air France KLM Flying Blue: 20% bonus. 1,000 points = 1,200 miles from December 4, 2024 through January 15, 2025.
- IHG One Rewards: 70% bonus. 1,000 points = 1,700 IHG points from December 4, 2024 through January 15, 2025.
My take: Aeroplan and Flying Blue transfer bonuses are great!
Personally, I transfer most of my Ultimate Rewards® points to Hyatt, but I’m excited about Aeroplan and Flying Blue transfer bonuses. Here’s why: These programs offer both great awards and are relatively easy to use.
Flying Blue is the program I personally use the most often to get SkyTeam awards across the Atlantic. Flying Blue monthly promo rewards are a great deal and I find the program useful for the occasional Delta flight domestically where the cash prices are outrageous, but Delta has opened up award availability to its partners. (Yes, this does still happen!)
And Aeroplan offers one of the most useful programs for booking Star Alliance awards. The prices are reasonable when there is award availability—although not often not absolutely the cheapest available. And I like being able to add a few extra miles onto your ticket to make it refundable.
As for IHG? I don’t think that this is a good deal, even with a 70% transfer bonus.
