Ultimate rewards point transfer
« on: November 12, 2012, 07:31:34 AM »
I've transferred my ultimate rewards points many times to various airlines w/o a problem. Although Chase has been known to shut down accounts for transferring to credit cards, but to my knowledge there haven't been issues with transferring from credit card to airline accounts. Recently, I attempted again to transfer points to an airline but right before the transfer a box popped up warning that transferring points to a third party may result in Chase shutting down the account. I don't know when this warning started appearing but definitely within the last month. Is this s/t I should be nervous about or is this just a standardized messege?

You're trading UR for MR?

It's their new standardized message but there's a risk. I'd keep transferring if I were you.

I see you're not worried about the message ;)
But yes I was referring to transferring to friends in my original message
Not to my own accounts

Same problem, I have transferred many times in the past with no problem, this week I transferred into someone's united account and UR deducted my points but the recipient didn't receive it. I contacted chase via secure message but I only got a response that they forwarded the message to the appropriate department with no more information.

I have a lot of UR points and am wondering what is the best way to get rid of it now, any ideas?

If anything it should be the other way around. More MR for less UR.

Chase UR points can be transferred to United Airlines if you have certain credit cards. They transfer into your United MileagePlus account.
They can also transfer to other airlines/hotel programs.

Well, up until now no one has had any problems even when the names didn't match. Now they put up a notice saying it's mean for yourself and family though I believe it will still work to a different name at the moment.
