I need 20k for the ticket purchase. Chase says only spouse or domestic partner is allowed. So lovers, parents, siblings are not allowed?

Can I transfer my points to someone else's frequent travel account?

Ultimate Rewards point transfer features are designed to allow our
cardmembers to take advantage of the rewards they earn. The features are not
intended to allow transfers to third parties other than a spouse or
domestic partner of the cardmember. Transfers to unauthorized third parties
or any other abuse of the Ultimate Rewards program may result in suspension
or termination of the ability to participate in the program and forfeiture
of points already earned.

If your girlfriend is living with you, you could argue that she is a domestic partner even if you haven't legally registered. The purpose of the rule is to deter people selling their miles.

+1 Tchiowa! Alphacode, if she isn't, change your address on your UA account to hers, then transfer. Or have her phone Chase to change the address on her Chase account to yours while telling the rep, "I have just moved into my domestic partner's house." Maybe get your name listed on one of her utility bills for extra evidence that you two are Domestic Partners.

California is one of the few, if not the only, place I've heard of with a Registry of Domestic Partnerships. AFAIK, everywhere else, DP means 'person with whom one shares a residence & builds a life together without being legally married to him/ her.' It is generally understood romantically/ sexually, but I suppose if somebody lives with their spouse, sister-in-law & brother-in-law, they would technically not be lying to call themselves a 4-person Domestic Partnership!
