The secret sauce to travel rewards is when issuers offer travel transfer partners. The Chase Sapphire Preferred is one of three Chase cards that allow you to transfer your rewards to Chase’s travel transfer partners. The other two are the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and the Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card.
Transferring rewards directly to travel partners can save you a lot of points, so this is a worthwhile perk for anyone seeking a travel card.
For instance, if we compare the price of a JetBlue (one of Chase’s partners) flight Thanksgiving week in November 2025, one way from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) to New York’s JFK airport, the lowest cash price is $209.
Since bookings made through Chase Travel are based on the cash price, it would cost you 16,720 Ultimate Rewards points with the Chase Sapphire Preferred’s 25% points boost to book this flight through Chase Travel.
That same flight, when booked with points through JetBlue, requires just 13,900 TrueBlue points.
This means you can save 2,820 points by transferring your Ultimate Rewards to JetBlue TrueBlue and booking that way. It may not seem like a huge difference, but the savings can really add up across multiple tickets or travel bookings.
Good news here for authorized users of the Chase Sapphire Preferred: Both primary users and authorized users can transfer their rewards directly to one of Chase’s travel transfer partners.
