Chase UR → Southwest Rapid Rewards 30% Transfer Bonus
Your Chase points just got a free upgrade on the way to Southwest. A 30% transfer bonus to Rapid Rewards is live — and Chase UR is one of only two flexible-currency paths that reach Southwest. Transfer before the window closes.
Why this matters
Chase is running a 30% transfer bonus to Southwest Rapid Rewards — a partner that almost never runs bonuses. Southwest points are worth most when used for high-demand domestic routes where cash prices spike. Transfer only what you have a booking target for; this offer won't last.
If you've been eyeing a Southwest redemption and your Rapid Rewards balance is coming up short, this is the move. Chase Ultimate Rewards is running a 30% transfer bonus to Southwest Rapid Rewards — and because Amex MR, Citi TYP, and Capital One don't transfer to Southwest, Chase UR and Bilt Rewards are your only flexible-currency on-ramps. A 30% bonus on this pairing is rare.
What qualifies:
- Bonus: 30% on all Chase UR transfers to Southwest Rapid Rewards
- Transfer ratio: 1,000 Chase UR = 1,300 Rapid Rewards points (during the bonus)
- Transfer speed: near-instant
- Registration: not required — transfer directly from your Chase account
One thing to keep in your back pocket: transferred points do NOT count toward Companion Pass Qualifying Points or A-List Tier-Qualifying Points. Only Southwest co-brand card spend and revenue flights earn those. So if you're mid-run on a Companion Pass push, this bonus won't help you get there — but if you're booking flights purely for travel, it's a straight 30% more runway on whatever redemption you've been planning.
Best used when you have a specific itinerary in mind. Don't transfer speculatively — Southwest points don't expire as long as your account is active, but UR are more versatile sitting in Chase than sitting in Rapid Rewards.
