Chase and four of its travel partners feature transfer bonuses right now — but the promotion ends soon. So, here’s your reminder to take advantage of it before the offer expires!
20%-50% Transfer Bonuses on Select Chase Points Partners
Three airlines and one hotel chain offer bonus points when you transfer Chase points to their programs (minimum of 1,000 points transfer):
- Aer Lingus: 20% bonus
- British Airways: 20% bonus
- Iberia: 20% bonus
- Marriott Bonvoy: 50% bonus
The promotion expires on March 31, 2025.
Aer Lingus, British Airways and Iberia are part of the oneworld alliance. That includes airline partners such as Alaska, American, Cathay Pacific, Qantas and Qatar. So, you might be able to score some good award redemptions on other carriers but booked through Aer Lingus, BA, or Iberia. (This is where a subscription to point.me’s award price search engine can come in very handy.)
I just took advantage of Marriott’s 50% bonus for an East Coast trip and might squeeze in another transfer for one or two more vacations we’re planning. A lot of people like making fun of Marriott’s Bonvoy program (because they make it so easy sometimes) but the 50% promotion really is pretty good.
Keep in mind that two Marriott American Express cards feature their best-ever welcome offers right now. So, if you’re planning a major vacation (or two, or three, or…), you could transfer some Chase points and also take advantage of the Marriott Amex promotions, too.
Chase Points Cards
I can’t believe how many diehard Delta SkyMiles fans I chat with who are reluctant to get Chase cards because they’re entrenched in Amex-land.
I like Chase points because they can be transferred to a bunch of airlines (including Air France and KLM) and hotel programs such as Marriott, Hyatt, and IHG. Several no-annual-fee cards can help you get started, too.
- Chase Sapphire Reserve®
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card
- Chase Freedom Unlimited®
- No annual fee
- Chase Freedom Flex®
- No annual fee
- Ink Business Cash® Credit Card
- No annual fee
- Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card
- Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card
- No annual fee

Final Approach
Chase and four of its travel partners feature transfer bonuses right now. Through March 31, 2025, you can enjoy 20% more points when you transfer to Aer Lingus, British Airways and Iberia. Marriott Bonvoy offers a 50% bonus. Happy transferring, redeeming, and traveling!

The problem with us dwellers of Amex-land is that we need to accumulate those stupid MQDs!!!
