Seems like some readers missed this when we posted in February.
The Offer
- Chase Ultimate Rewards program is offering a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer to British Airways Avios. Normally you can transfer at a rate of 1:1 and under this promotion that increases to 1:1.2
The Fine Print
- Valid until March 31, 2025
Our Verdict
This is a bit different to normal as it’s British Airways providing the bonus not Chase. Chase usually provides a 30% bonus quite often.
- August 30 – September 22, 2023: 30%
- June 24 – July 31, 2022: 30%
- August 30th – September 26th, 2021: 30%
- November 9th – December 9th, 2020: 30%
- April 22nd – June 16th, 2019: 30%

I don’t think this is BA providing the bonus. This is the same offer Chase is providing with the same terms including ending date of 3/11. It would be nice if it was on the BA side so a double dip would be in order, but I don’t think so.
DP: Did this 3/2. UR transfer to BA Avios was almost immediate, within 5 minutes points AND the 20% bonus showed up in BA account. Quite surprised. Showed up in BA transaction history. Used Award Wallet right after to see if BA clock reset back to 3 years. It did. I had 1.2 years left. Transferred min of 1,000. Received 1,200. Did for myself and spouse.
Does BA still have good uses left?
Intra-Europe (i.e. ex-LHR) Reward Flight Savers.
Is BA providing 20% in addition to the 20% that Chase is now providing?
Data point- I made a transfer from Chase to BA during this promotion and just received my bonus points. I had called and asked about them when the promotion was running (because they didn’t show up immediately), but I didn’t file a formal claim or complaint. Shocked the points actually showed up in my account.. score one for the good guys.. 🙂
Original Transaction: 10 Feb 25
Bonus points awarded: 20 Feb 25
I received mine too today…pleasantly surprised 🙂
Shady stuff from BA. Originally said expires 03/31/25 and pulled two days after it started for no apparent reason.
Did they pull this promotion? No mention of it anywhere
Initial transfer was instant, no bonus points yet. When I called. They replied I had to wait 5-10 days. Now I’m unsure if it’ll even go through. Looks like I’ll need to transfer the other 20% to book my flight 🙁
I transferred UR points 24 hours ago…no bonus points on BA. After researching, BA rep says the promotion has expired. Per BA rep, these types of bonus usually post after 28 days. Seems like many will get screwed over this. Terrible stuff from BA!
Wondering why they are now saying the promotion has expired when it was originally set to end on 3/31/25. I am in the same boat as you as I also transferred 24 hrs ago. One BA rep I chatted with said 28 days. Another BA rep I spoke with on the phone said within 72 hours. Would appreciate any and all updates from others who have transferred as well!
I transferred 190k points yesterday around 11pm EST and the points posted a few minutes later. When I made the transfer the bonus text was still there. When I checked this morning, the text is gone from BA website, and still no bonus. Hopefully, BA will honor the 20% bonus for people who transferred yesterday.
It is a miracle…I received the bonus today!
The 20% bonus text is gone from BA website now. Do you think BA will honor the 20% transfer bonus made before today?
Got my 20% bonus today too
