For a limited time, you can score a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to one of the Avios partner airlines, including British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus.

Here is a full look at the details and how you can maximize this promotion.

Transfer Bonus Promotion Details

Through March 31, you will get a 20% transfer bonus when transferring your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to the Aer Lingus AerClub, The British Airways Club, or Iberia Club programs — all of which use Avios as their currency.

The usual transfer rate for each of these programs is 1:1. With the 20% bonus, that rate is boosted to 1:1.2.

Your points should transfer nearly instantly, and keep in mind that you can transfer your new Avios at a 1:1 rate between all of the Avios partners, including not just Aer Lingus, British Airways, and Iberia but Finnair, Vueling, and Qatar Airways, as well.

Hot Tip:

If you weren’t aware that you can easily move your Avios between all of the different Avios-earning airlines, we have a detailed guide that shows you exactly how to do it, and why you might want to.

How To Maximize This Promotion

There are numerous great ways to maximize this promotion and score some huge value on your upcoming travels.

One such sweet spot — a fan favorite among award travelers — is booking one of the world’s best business class flight, Qatar Airways Qsuite, for as low as 70,000 Avios. The standard price is already a great deal for the flight experience you’ll receive. However, with the 20% bonus, you’ll need to transfer just 59,000 Ultimate Rewards points.

Similarly, you could use the Qatar Airways Privilege Club — after moving your Avios there at a 1:1 rate from Aer Lingus, British Airways, or Iberia — to book JetBlue Mint business class seats to Europe to destinations like Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Madrid for 78,000 Avios — which would cost just 65,000 Chase points after the 20% bonus.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve got some Chase Ultimate Rewards points burning a hole in your pocket and are itching to book a new trip, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this transfer bonus to save some of those hard-earned points on your next award booking with the Avios airline partners.

Remember that this promotion is only valid through March 31, so make sure to take advantage of it by then.
