Quick summary
You can transfer points from certain flexible rewards programs to British Airways Club at a 1:1 ratio, unlocking a wide range of redemption options with British Airways and its airline partners.
Transfers are typically instant, allowing for quick access to Avios for booking flights, but transfers are irreversible.
Avios can be used for valuable redemptions such as short-haul domestic flights, West Coast to Hawaii routes, premium cabins to Doha and off-peak flights to Europe.
It's important to compare the value of redeeming points through transfers versus booking directly through travel portals or with cash.
What to consider
Transfers must be made in increments of 1,000 points and cannot be undone once completed.
Always confirm award availability before transferring, as points cannot be returned if your desired flight is unavailable.
TPG values points from flexible rewards programs at 2.05 cents each and Avios at 1.4 cents each as of December 2025.

Here's a step-by-step guide to transferring your Chase points to become British Airways Avios (the loyalty currency of the British Airways Club program) and some of the best ways to redeem them.

If you hold one of the following eligible Chase cards that earn fully transferable Ultimate Rewards points, you can transfer them to British Airways Club:
If you hold one of the above-listed cards, you can also choose to convert the cash earned back on the following cards into Ultimate Rewards points; you could then transfer these points to British Airways Club:
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to British Airways Club at a 1:1 ratio in 1,000‑point increments. This means that if you transfer 10,000 Ultimate Rewards points to British Airways Club, you'll receive 10,000 Avios.
Occasionally, Chase runs limited‑time transfer bonuses that can boost your points balance, so check our running list of current bonuses to see if you can score additional rewards on your next points transfer.
Ultimate Rewards points also transfer 1:1 to the following programs that use Avios as their loyalty currency:
Aer Lingus AerClub
Iberia Club
You can easily transfer Avios from these two programs into British Airways Club (or another Avios-based program) at a 1:1 rate using this transfer tool at no cost.
How long does it take to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to British Airways Club?
According to TPG's tests, transfers from Chase to British Airways are typically instant, so Avios should appear in your British Airways Club account within minutes; however, delays may occur from time to time.

How do you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to British Airways Club?
To transfer Chase points to British Airways Club, head to the Ultimate Rewards website, log in to your account and select your Ultimate Rewards-earning card (if you have more than one).
You should then see a dashboard page for the card account you selected. Click on the "Travel" drop-down option at the top of your dashboard, then select "Transfer points to partners."
CHASE
You'll be directed to a page displaying all Chase transfer partners. Scroll down, then click on the British Airways row in the airlines section.
To continue, click "Transfer points" to access a page where you can enter and confirm your British Airways Club information. If you've previously transferred Chase points to British Airways, you'll just need to confirm your British Airways Club number. You can choose to transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to your own British Airways Club account or to an authorized user's British Airways Club account.
CHASE
Enter the number of Chase points you'd like to transfer to British Airways. Rewards must be transferred in increments of 1,000, so you must transfer at least 1,000 points.
CHASE
Click "Next" to proceed to a summary page, review the transfer details and then click "Submit" to confirm your transfer request.
CHASE
Remember, transfers cannot be reversed.
When should you transfer Chase points to British Airways?
TPG values Chase Ultimate Rewards points at 2.05 cents each and Avios at 1.4 cents each, according to TPG's December 2025 valuations.
You should also compare the value you'd receive when redeeming Avios directly for award travel versus your redemption value if booking with cash or when redeeming Ultimate Rewards points through the Chase Travel℠ portal.
Short-haul domestic flights on American Airlines or Alaska Airlines: You can book flights of up to 650 miles in length, such as New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA) to South Carolina's Charleston International Airport (CHS), for just 13,500 Avios one-way (plus $5.60 in taxes and fees)
West Coast to Hawaii: You can fly on American Airlines or Alaska Airlines from the West Coast to Hawaii on a nonstop flight for just 22,000 Avios each way (plus $5.60 in taxes and fees), provided the flights are under 3,000 miles in length. One such route is Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) to Hawaii's Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA), a flight of almost seven hours in length.
Qatar Airways Qsuite to Doha: A premium sweet spot for anyone looking to fly one of the world's best business-class cabins, routes from select North American airports to Hamad International Airport (DOH) are available for just 70,000 British Airways Avios (not including taxes and fees), a terrific deal where saver availability exists.
Nonstop flights to Europe on Aer Lingus: Off-peak flights from the Northeast to Ireland start from just 15,500 Avios each way (not including taxes and fees), which is a terrific price to cross the Atlantic.

Bottom line
Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to British Airways Club at a 1:1 rate is easy, and transfers are usually instant. Avios are a great way to book both domestic flights (including Hawaii) on American Airlines and Alaska Airlines and flights to Europe and beyond on other British Airways partners.
Before transferring your points, always confirm award availability, as, unfortunately, transfers cannot be reversed. We also recommend comparing the cash rate or booking via the Chase Travel portal to the value of redeeming your points through a transfer partner program, as you may get more value out of one booking option over another.
