How to Transfer Amex Points to Chase

American Express Memberships Rewards is considered a flexible point program, which will make points transfers easy. However, you cannot simply transfer Amex points to your Chase account. Instead, you have to "pool" points into a partner program that works with both Amex and Chase.

Here are popular programs where you can pool your Chase Ultimate Rewards points and American Express Membership Rewards points:

Airlines

Hotels
Aer Lingus

Air Canada

British Airways

Emirates

Iberia

JetBlue

Singapore Airlines

Virgin Atlantic
