To transfer miles to United Airlines, you have a few options depending on the type of points or miles you currently have. If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you can transfer them to United Airlines at a 1:1 ratio[1][2]. To do this, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Chase Ultimate Rewards account[2].
- Click on “Transfer to Travel Partners”[2].
- Navigate to “United MileagePlus®” and click “Transfer Points”[2].
- Link your United Airlines account and select the name on the United account[2].
- Enter the number of points you want to transfer and complete the transfer[2].
Transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to United Airlines are usually instant[2].
If you have Marriott points, you can transfer them to United Airlines at a 3:1.1 ratio, and you’ll also earn a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000 Marriott points you transfer to an airline[1].
If you want to transfer miles from your United MileagePlus account to another member’s account, you can do so through United’s Transfer Miles Program[3]. To transfer miles:
- Go to United Airlines’ Buy or Transfer Miles page[4].
- Log in to your MileagePlus account[5].
- Fill out the transfer miles form with the other person’s details[5].
Please note that there is a $30 processing fee and an additional $7.50 per 500 miles for transferring miles between MileagePlus accounts[5]. To avoid these fees, you can book a flight for the recipient directly from your account[5].
