Right you are, Dan – There is a transfer option, point for point for just the following:

You can ONLY transfer to the following programs, the rest are vouchered as I mentioned before:

Continental Airlines,
British Airways
Marriott International
InterContinental Hotels Group – also mentioned on flyertalk the possibility of Southwest – not sure how, though

(1 Ultimate Rewards point = 1 travel rewards point)

thanks called the 800# and got 25k and no annual fee.

Also, unless you ask for it to be waived, you will be charged the annual fee for the first year.
Got my card yesterday. For those who asked it’s a Visa.

You may be able to still get 25K points by calling Chase at 1-800-730-9710 and asking for 25K points.

They are now offering only 15,000 points. Does anyone have a copy of the original offer for 25,ooo points?

Just got approved instantly. Looking forward to getting the card.

@happy: Why not? @Fitz Mitzvah: Right, Chase must be lying when they advertise the 1:1 benefit on their site. Obviously the single uninformed phone rep you reached must be correct...

THERE IS NO 1 to 1 TRANSFER FOR HOTELS WITH THIS CARD!

Just got off the phone with them. What you get is a $100 voucher per 10,000 points toward a stay with Marriot, Hyatt Etc. When I compllained about this, they didn’t have any response.

Dan thanks for the link to the Picture of the Demo Transfer Screen, but I am still clueless as to what programs you can actually transfer Points to on a 1-to-1 Ratio.

I’m not interested in which programs you can redeem for gift cards, but which Loyalty Programs you can Transfer Points to 1 to 1. Anybody have any clue? Any help is much appreciated!

Can I apply and then have my wife apply for same card?

@michael:
Im sure it will be a Visa or MC.

By: michael

michael — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:48:31 +0000

hey what type of card is this is it amex,mc, or visa- or is sapphire a new thing that i never heard of and where is it accepted- thanx

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:49:53 +0000

@Todd:
There’s a picture of the transfer screen in the travel/transfer points section here:
http://demo.chaseultimaterewards.com/?demo=2&shell=I&chapter=0&source=sapmsT2

@Daniel:
“Rewards Check
Use points for a cash-back rewards check starting at 5,000 points for $50.”

@c:
I’ve seen reports of 2 or 4 AMEX cards being the current limit.
If you want a different card or want to churn you’d have to close it down and wait 30 days before reapplying.

By: c

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:40:29 +0000

Dan what are the maximum amount of amex cards you can have – I just got denied and they wrote I have the max amount – should I cancel some cards so I can churn?

By: Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 12:15:48 +0000

Maybe I can’t read well, but I did a search on the benefits page and couldn’t find the refund check info- can you paste here?

By: Todd

Todd — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 09:59:55 +0000

Dan — Where does it list the Frequent Flyer & Hotel Programs you can transfer to at a 1 : 1 Ratio? I’ve looked everywhere, even downloaded the 16 page pdf “Card Benefits” document, & I cant seem to find it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Dan, Could I apply for this card (or any other cc) and get it sent to me, if I’m living in Europe or Israel?

By: Manny

Manny — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:32:00 +0000

@aaron
it has happened to me with the Chase cards and I’ve been approved both times (Chase Freedom and United) Hopefully will get approved again for this card. But Im curious, maybe Dan you know, why this happens? With my AMEX cards Im always instantly approved…

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 22:38:20 +0000

@aaron:
That’s not what that means.

By: aaron

aaron — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:19:45 +0000

DAN OR Anyone who knows
I AM JUST CURIOUS CAN YOU ASSUME THAT IF THEY SAY AFTER MY APPLICATION “We are currently reviewing your application. You will be notified in writing about the status of your application within 30 days, as required by law.”
THAT YOU ARE NOT ACCEPTED?

By: Dan/Ctownbochur

Dan/Ctownbochur — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:41:15 +0000

@Daniel: Click on view all benefits. @jake: Call and ask for it. @C: Correct.

By: C

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:37:27 +0000

Wait, so technically we can open this card, then book ourselves a 300 dollar ticket, and then cancel the card before we get the fees?

By: jake

jake — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:08:59 +0000

how do you get the refund check?

By: Daniel

Daniel — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:36:07 +0000

Where’s the info about the refund check found?
