Chase allows points earned with different cards, or by members of the same household, or owners of the same business, to combine points in one Ultimate Rewards account.
These are the rules for personal cards:
These are the rules for business cards. (All INK cards are business cards.)
Q: Ok, so I won't be violating any of the above rules. How do I combine or transfer my points?
A: Log in to your Chase Ultimate Rewards account. Click your point balance to reveal a drop down menu. Choose Combine points. You can then choose to move your points between your own credit card UR accounts, or "Add a Household Member" to transfer points to.
If you are experiencing technical problems combining points, please see Problems Combining UR points between accounts.
Combining is not the same as transferring. The rules for transferring to an airline or hotel program are subtly different. Those rules and procedures are discussed in another thread:

You can move your points, but only to another Chase card with Ultimate Rewards belonging to you or one member of your household.
Go to chase.com/ultimaterewards, call the number on the back of your card or visit a Chase branch to move your points.
You can't move points to another eligible card if either account is prohibited from earning or using points at the time you attempt to move the points.

If we believe you've engaged in any of these acts, we'll close your credit card account and you'll lose all your points.

Combining UR points from multiple card accounts [Consolidated]
I just transferred points from my mom to my dad UR points and got this message warning see below, does this mean any member in the household can combine UR points even a brother to a sister or son to a daughter? I thought it was only spouse to spouse transfers allowed? were the rules changed?!!!.

There are two different types of transfers. The rules are similar, but not identical.
This thread primarily discusses the second type (transfers to airlines or hotel partners), but your post reports on the first type (transfers to another UR account).
1) Combine points with other Chase cards with Ultimate Rewards
You can move your points, but only to another Chase card with Ultimate Rewards belonging to you or one member of your household.
You can move your points, but only to another Chase card with Ultimate Rewards belonging to you or one member of your household.
2) Transfer points to frequent travel programs
You can transfer points in 1,000 point increments, but only to participating frequent travel program accounts belonging to you or one additional household member who is listed on your account as an authorized user. Once you transfer points to an authorized user, that person will be the only authorized user eligible to receive point transfers through this program.

I would be concerned about the phrasing "one member of your household" rather than something more general, like "another member of your household." It sounds like you get to choose a specific person from your household and that person is the only person who can get the points. Of course, if you only have one other person in your household, then this would not really be a restriction.
With that limitation (one specific person), it does sound like you could transfer to a non-spouse member of the household. If so, it is a little more flexible than a spouse-only limitation.
Of course, it doesn't matter what I think or how I read it. What matters is how Chase interprets its own rules. Way too often, I get some business saying, "What it means is..." when it clearly says something else.

Combine UR points from multiple card accounts [Consoilidated]
I have a lot of Ultimate Reward Points in my Chase Ink Plus Account and do not want to pay the annual fee. I was thinking of opening a Chase Sapphire Preferred Account with the current no first-year fee.
Can I then transfer my UR points from my Ink Plus Card to the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card?

Chase UR transfer without CSP to household member?
My gf was thinking about downgrading her CSP to freedom to take advantage of the bonus categories at sams/costco and not pay an annual fee.
Since we live together and i have the CSP & ink plus, I wanted to see if she could transfer points to me without her CSP? I know you cant transfer it to airlines/hotel partners, but I dont know how it works to transfer it to someone else.
