Able to Buy UR Points?
I'm a few thousand points short of what I need for a flight purchase. Is there a way to purchase UR points? I do not have the time to open a new account and get points in that fashion.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Option to buy points was discontinued ~5 years ago.

Theres no way that I know of that you can buy Chase points. You can put on expenses to the cards though and earn points that way. Use the card at places that give you good return in points.

If you're buying a revenue ticket through Chase (rather than transferring UR points to an airline for a reward booking), you can pay the shortfall with money. I've done that several times.
