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%

How long did it take to receive the 20% bonus
Transferred 18K points! Been over 1 hour. Base points got transferred in a minute! Still waiting on the bonus! Contacted customer service and they have no clue! 🙁
Awesome timing, I just transferred 140k UR to Avios 2 days ago! :/
Are there still any good redemptions for BA after devals? Used to use them a lot for AA within the US/Mexico but last I checked the rates and taxes are through the roof.
Best use of Avios now is transferring to Qatar or elsewhere?
just booked MAD-JFK for two in J on Iberia for 34,000 Avios plus ~$175 each.
JAL from US to/from Tokyo (not connecting onwards). Otherwise yeah probably transferring to Qatar or Finnair
Also try logging into your Ultimate Rewards account. I am seeing a flash bonus of 30% valid for Virgin 2/3 – 2/17 under the “Featured rewards for you” section
“Chase usually provides a 30% bonus quite often.”
Seems like once a year? And not in 2024 =/ I’ll take this 20%
