Step One: Log into your Chase Account and Click "Ultimate Rewards Points"
On a desktop you will see it at the top right of your log in page.
Step two: Select Which card you want to see
In this case since we are transferring to travel partners we need to select the Chase Sapphire Card
Step Three: Select Transfer points to partners
At the top of the page you will see the drop down menu under travel. Select "Transfer points to partners"
Step four: Scroll down to select united airlines
Scroll down to select the travel partner of your choice - in this case United Airlines.
Step five: Click transfer points
Step six: Confirm Your Mileageplus account
You will need to enter your United MileagePlus Account Number here. If you do not have an account, you can sign up for one for free here. Then click next.
Step seven: Confirm how many points
You'll go ahead and type in how many points you want to transfer. Please note, you can only transfer in increments of 1,000.
Example: If you need 38,500 points you will need to round up and transfer 39,000 points. Click next on the bottom right when you're ready. 
Step eight: Confirm details and submit
Take a moment to confirm the details of your transfer. On the left side you will see your Chase card, how many points you are moving and how many you will have left. On the right side you will see the travel partner, in this case United MileagePlus, and how many points that account will be receiving. When you're sure the values are what you need for your trip, click submit! :)
How long will it take for my chase points to show in my united account?
As you can see by the fine print on the image above, officially "most point transfers process by the next business day, but may take up to 7 business days."
In my personal experience, the points have shown up nearly instantaneously - it's amazing! If you are logged into your United account you will need to log out and then log back in to see the points. You may have a different experience, but all I can do is share what has happened to me 100% of the time in the past 8+ years doing this. I hope you have the same experience I have had so far! :) Tips for transferring chase UR points to United
how do i get these amazing points for free flights?
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! You just need a Sapphire Card or if you already have one, get the United Card. With both you will get a really great sign up bonus. Bonuses are linked on the Best Travel Credit Cards Page
Are travel agents worth it?
... with tips like these, is it even a question? ;)

Over the past month I have had the privilege to work with a lovely family on a very special Alaska cruise to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary - isn't that amazing?! What a great way to honor such a landmark and truly inspirational example of working hard to preserve this sacred union. :) |
|
While the cruise is still more than a year out and it's too early to book flights, I decided to take a proactive peak at what the prevailing rates were for this year so I could match my clients with a money-saving strategy that worked for them.
I quickly realized that Southwest Airlines does not fly into Anchorage, where their cruise will depart. However, my old standby United sure does! ;)
As you can see below, I did a search paying with miles instead of money and there is potentially for flights at 15k + 5.60 taxes/fees. :) |

United Award Flights Nashville to Anchorage 15,000 miles
Since my client has 5 travelers, at 15k per person we need 75k miles or corresponding points to get them free flights from Nashville to Anchorage Alaska (BNA - ANC) for their Alaska Anniversary Cruise!
The United card is one I highly recommend, but in this case I recommended it along with an alternative (actually my top favorite travel card!) because there is a limited time offer of a 75,000 point sign up bonus with this card right now. It's rare to see the bonus tip over 60k so this is perfect timing! These universal travel points can be transferred to United at a 1:1 ratio. Meaning my clients have a very real potential of getting all 5 of their flights free if they choose to take advantage of this offer!

How Much My Clients Can Save
The cash price of these flights was $354 so multiply that by 5 people and my clients have the potential to save +/- $1770 on their flights one way! Of course they do have a flight home to think about. And guess what? They could take advantage of another bonus to cover that one too ;)
This is a huge advantage of booking travel early. You have time to take advantage of these opportunities at a reasonable pace. ;) This is also the advantage of booking with a travel agent who loves travel and can help you find out-of-the-box ways to save on your trip! :)

Related timeless Wisdom
- Who of you wanting to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers would start to ridicule him, saying: ‘This man started to build but was not able to finish. (Proverbs 22:7)
- The borrower is slave to the lender. (Proverbs 21:17)
Basically, taking advantage of these opportunities requires planning and responsible credit card use. If you cannot meet the threshold to receive the bonus, or you cannot pay the balance of your card each month then it's not wise to try this because the amount of fees you will incur will far outweigh the "benefits".
However, if you are in a position to leverage these opportunities financially it can really open up opportunities for you to enjoy both "a handful of rest" and display a "Here I Am! Send Me!" spirit. ;)

For a limited time United Airlines Explorer Mileage Plus is offering a bonus of 60,000 bonus miles at sign up! The bonus is often set at 50k so you'll get an extra 10k! sweet deal. |
How many flights can 60,000 airline miles get you?
Every airline's program works differently and values points differently. But since we are talking about united airlines, let me give you a first hand example.
I recently booked 2 flights between the US and Europe for 58,000 United Miles
So it is reasonable that you can find flights to Europe and back with your sign up bonus, let alone domestic flights! Slick, right?

My favorite benefit of the United Explorer Card is that the sign up bonus lets me travel roundtrip to Europe for free lol. Beyond that, you will enjoy a free checked bag on United flights, 2 free passes to United Club lounges at the airport (airport lounges are so great) and some other benefits you can read about. But let's be honest, you're here for free flights and the lounge access is a bonus. :) United actually has several travel credit cards available so you may want to compare them to see what suits your needs best at this time. Each has its own unique perks and sign up bonuses. Check them out below! |
What's your favorite travel credit card?
Our favorite travel credit cards can be found on our Best Travel Credit Cards page. But when we aren't eligible for those bonuses, we always have a Chase United Card because the miles go far internationally!
We would love to hear what your favorite travel credit card is or your favorite trip where you got free flights from a travel credit card! :)
