How Credit Card Transfers Work

Bank reward currencies like Chase Ultimate Rewards and Amex Membership Rewards are “flexible” — you can convert them to airline miles or hotel points at fixed ratios, then use those miles to book award travel.

01

Earn flexible points

Spend on a Chase Sapphire, Amex Platinum, Capital One Venture, or Bilt Mastercard. Points accumulate in the bank's rewards currency.

02

Transfer to a partner

Choose an airline or hotel partner and convert your points — usually 1:1 or 1:2. Transfers are typically instant or same-day.

03

Book the award

Use the transferred miles or points to book flights or hotel stays. A well-chosen redemption can be worth 3–5x the cash equivalent.
