Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways instantaneous transfer.
^I needed to transfer 3000 miles from Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways. Got on the site, made the transfer. Checked on the BA site and the 3000 Avios had been instantaneously moved and I was able to book. Very nice, Chase!

I hadn't realized what a great feature this is until I had to call the Chase BA line today, and wade through the options. The couple of times I've had to call the Sapphire line, they've picked up straight away, and been very helpful.

I have 2 family accounts with Ultimate rewards -
1) One with chase sapphire: X
2) One with chase sapphire preferred: Y
I know that I can combine Y+X into one account. Once consolidated, can I also transfer Y+X into UA or other transfer partners? Also does the names (transfer partner and Ultimate rewards) have to match?
2) One with chase sapphire preferred: Y

Chase Sapphire Preferred
Is this card worth it. Looks like you can get 50k points after 3k spend. Do their points work like AMEX MR points where they transfer 1:1 to airline FF miles? I only value credit card points that I can move to FF programs at 1:1 or better so I can book award tickets. Should I apply for this card? Thanks!

It has been posted several times before that the transfer to UA already exists with UR from Sapphire. Higher offers have been only targeted (save a few lucky ones who got bumped up over one single weekend - that will never happen again)

Unless you (or a spouse/family member/trusted friend) have the Chase Freedom card, which is giving 5 UR points/dollar at restaurants in Q4. Those points can be transfered to one's own (or anyone else's) Sapphire Preferred UR account, and thence to any of the listed airline/hotel partners.

I really like the flexibility to transfer points between other UR accounts including family members, all instantaneously without any fees.
While I await the added 7% annual bonus to apply later next year, I'm also racking up the additional yearly spend bonus from the Ink Bold side (far greater than the 7% on the Sapphire Preferred end) and can combine or transfer between the two.
Amex MR is holding less value to me other than the 3 X travel option and ability to transfer to Delta with periodic transfer bonus promotions.
