How to combine Chase Ultimate Rewards between accounts

Each Monday Miles has decided to drop a tip, hint, tutorial, trick that maybe you’ve missed or haven’t heard before. If you’re an expert in this field, some of these may be things you already know, but there are a lot of beginners out there who are just getting their feet wet. This week the Monkey Miles Monday Memo shows you how to move Ultimate Rewards between accounts.

I wrote an article last week reminding people to activate their Chase Freedom 5x Q2 2020 Bonus Categories. This is an outstanding way to earn points on points on points, and if you carry a Premium Ultimate Rewards card, you can move your Freedom points into it to transfer to travel partners. I thought it’d be advantageous to show you how you can move points between accounts…it’s the same whether you move from a Freedom to a Preferred or an Ink Business Unlimited to Ink Business Preferred as I show.

Step 1: Log in

Step 2: Go to  “Redeem Rewards”

This can also be done by going to www.ultimaterewards.com and logging in, but this is what it would look like when you log in to Chase.com

Step: 3: You’ll see the log in Screen – click the three bars for a drop down menu. At the bottom you’ll see “Combine Points”

 

Step 4: Select the accounts to transfer from and to:

 

Step 5: How many points do you want to transfer

Step 6: Review your order

And confirmation

Hope this helps!
