Also do flights booked by transferring points to partners not get any of the Visa Signature traveler benefits (like luggage insurance and trip cancellation insurance) that you would have gotten if you booked the flight with points or cash using the card?

As this has nothing to do with UR transfers (and is really just a question about redemption(s) in particular programs), I'd suggest you ask in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/information-desk-730/ or in the forums for the applicable FFP(s).

I understood I can transfer non fees base card's UR to fee base card (of mine or spouse), Would transferred points ever expired? Can I transfer again transferred points to another fee base card? My goal is to apply minimum one fee base card every year between me and wife and keep transferring points to new account and cancel old card before AF. Is this doable?

How long does it take for points to be transferred from UR to Hyatt?
Thanks.

It's been immediate in my experience.

Pretty much instant for UR>Hyatt.

Was on the phone with Hyatt to check availability...transferred points from UR to Hyatt and the rep saw the transfer within 3 seconds. I logged in and logged out online and they were there

I need to transfer my chase sapphire preferred points out of the account & I will just transfer to another Chase card for now. Next, I will cancel the Chase Sapphire preferred because they are going to charge the annual fee soon.

Also, (totally new question) if plan on selling points out of airline or hotel partner account, what is the best hotel or airline partner to transfer the points to?

Data point on a UA transfer:

I transferred UR points from my wife's Ink Bold to my UA Account (same household and I'm an AU on her card). The transfer was not instant - as had been my experience in the past - so I started to get a little worried that there was a problem.

I decided to give it a day before making any calls. Thankfully, the points appeared in my UA account roughly 8 hours later.

Ok,
So, the title says it all...almost.
Here's the deal:
I have a Chase Freedom Card with a bunch of points and want to transfer those
miles to United Airlines.

Chase Freedom doesn't allow it, and neither does my other card, Chase Sapphire (regular version).

I know that Chase Sapphire PREFERRED used to allow it, does it still?
Are there other options?

So, to recap, the card must allow transfer of points between other cards through Chase's Ultimate Rewards - this is a must, bc I have to transfer the points from my Freedom.
AND, once the points are safely in the other CC account, be able to transfer them to United.

PS, what is the transfer ratio? Is it 1:1? Are there increments?

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Yes, Sapphire preferred allows this. 1 to 1 transfer. Transfer in increments of 1000.

thanks gunner...
any other chase credit cards that allow this.
I already had the sapphire preferred and was looking to avoid the annual fee.
I plan to cancel within a year if need be.

Ink Plus/Bold cards have that transfer option as well. Also, they are business cards and Chase has become more strict about approving non-obvious businesses recently according to the grumblings. But it does appear that they're fee-free for the first year.

Thanks again,

Does Sapphire Preferred also allow transfer of miles to SouthWest Airlines?

I might consider using them instead.

TIA

My experience with the Chase Freedom card was I had to cash out the points. They would not allow any transfer of them to a different Chase card. Fortunately I had just hit the level of a cash exchange for the points. So I took the cash, closed the card and opened the Explorer card with the credit line of the Freedom card.
