I also earn points from Chase Sapphire Reserve which I can transfer to airline miles.
CSR doesn't transfer to Asia Miles, but it does to Avios which is extremely handy for short-haul trips out of HK on Cathay/Dragon. Whether it is a valuable proposition to convert to Avios from Chase UR (vs like Hyatt points etc) is up to your interpretation...
