Trying to figure this out:
If I buy a united ticket for $1000 with my chase sapphire I get 2000 points, plus in my united mileage plus account I get miles.
Then, I can transfer these miles at a 1:1 ratio to united, and get another 2000 miles from this?
Am I missing something?

When you transfer the miles from Ultimate Rewards to MileagePlus you're not getting another 2000 miles. You're transferring them. 2000 points deducted from Ultimate Rewards 2000 miles added to MileagePlus.

2. You get flight miles based on the flight.
3. You can transfer UR's to United 1:1.

Can anyone comment on if the time to transfer UR to Marriott in the wiki above are still accurate - 2 business days?
I have a Marriott rewards reservation that I would need to transfer a few thousand points to a week prior to check in, but its still possible I may need to cancel, so want to wait as long as possible to make it. Any recent experience would be appreciated.

Tryign to transfer points yesterday and today to Hyatt. Twice Chase has provided an email saying the transfer is going through but it doesnt transfer, the points are restored to my UR account, and the account detail shows "Cancelled."
Anyone have any insight on this?

When I click on Ultimate Rewards from my online chase account, it is giving me this message -

Anyone getting this message?

Trying to transfer points from Ultimate rewards to united and get this error:
Special handling required. We are unable to process this transfer online. Please call the number on the back of your card for assistance
I called but they said they got same error and weren't helpful at all, I need miles for Friday flight, is anyone else getting something similar?

Just sent secure message, are they usually fast? I'm on hold with third rep but they are pretty unhelpful so far. Need to book flights soon

Need some advice. I had an old standard ink card and it got converted to ink cash. Before the conversion, I had 12k points and after conversion my UR shows zero. I called customer service and they cant figure out what happened to my points and they need 2 weeks to do some research??? Anyone had this problem before and is there a way chase can give me the missing points sooner than 2 weeks. I need to book a ticket. I spoke to them like 3 times and now they escalated it and Im waiting to hear from them

Did you send it as secure message through your account as rewards inquiry? I don't think they even bothered reading my email as I got a step by step guide on how to login and transfer points...

The first response is usually a lame copy/paste of boilerplate. SM them back & explain pointedly that they didn't even come close to answering your actual question--and that you'd still like an answer. The second round is generally more satisfactory.

Wanted to clarify something that's mentioned in the wiki, but not 100% fully explained.
It appears part of what we were supposed to "see below" was removed in a later edit.
If I have a premium (Ink Plus) card on one Chase login, and a non-premium (Freedom) on another login, but both accounts have the same person as owner/primary on them, can I transfer from the Freedom to the Ink Plus? Or would I have to combine the business & personal accounts under one login (which I know can be done if necessary).
I've never had URs without a premium card on the account, so I don't know if the option to transfer disappears completely when that login account only has a non-premium card. Thinking about downgrading my CSP, and don't want to screw myself over.
Holders of noin-premium Chase UR cards may not transfer directly to airline/hotel programs. However, if you hold both a premium and non-premium UR card, you may freely combine your UR points into the account of the premium card. (Similarly, if your spouse/domestic partner holds one of the premium cards, you can make an internal UR-to-UR transfer to his or her account. See below.)

Q. I heard that Chase has closed accounts for unauthorized transfers. What's the story?

Either way, thanks for the clarification. Exactly what I needed to know.
