Chase has added two new transfer partners to their Ultimate Rewards program:
- Aer Lingus
- Iberia Plus
Both of these programs run on Avios and it was already possible to transfer to British Airways from Chase and then transfer again to Aer Lingus/Iberia Plus. The only issue was that your Aer Lingus/Iberia Plus accounts needed to have meet the following qualifications:
- Account open for at least 90 days
- Completed some points earning activity
This will make those transfers easier and will also making completing points earning activity easier making it easier to transfer to British Airways and then onto Aer Lingus/Iberia Plus with other programs. Feel free to discuss the sweet spots of both programs in the comments below.
Chase’s list of travel partners now looks like this:
| Chase Travel Partners (All Transfer 1:1) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Airlines | ||
