Correct. Ultimate Rewards points cannot be transferred to Skymiles. However, they can used for travel on flights operated by Delta. There are two approaches.

  1. You can transfer to a program that has a partnership with Delta. There are three: Flying Blue (Air France, KLM), Korean Air, Virgin Atlantic. Then, you redeem through that program for flights operated by Delta. Award availability and pricing (number of miles) will be different than when you redeem Skymiles.
  2. You can redeem points through Chase's travel agency for tickets on pretty much any airline. The points have a fixed value, which depends on which Chase cards you hold, varies from $0.01 to $0.015 each.
