Chase Ultimate Rewards is offering a 30% bonus on points transferred to three Avios programmes, giving cardholders a clear window to top up their balances before the end of November.
What Chase Ultimate Rewards Covers
One Mile at a Time reports that the bonus applies to transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways Club, Iberia Plus Club and Aer Lingus AerClub. The three programmes all run on Avios, so points transferred to any one of them can be moved between the others afterwards, giving cardholders flexibility over how they use the uplift.
The promotion runs from 12AM ET on 1 November 2026 to 11:59PM ET on 1 December 2026, according to One Mile at a Time. That is a firm, calendar-limited window with no indication of an extension.
How Transfers Work
One Mile at a Time also notes that transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to these three partners are typically instant, which matters if you are trying to book a specific seat and cannot wait days for points to appear.
The speed of transfer is worth bearing in mind alongside the bonus percentage. A 30% uplift on a transfer of, say, 50,000 points produces 65,000 Avios, and having those land in your account immediately leaves you free to search and book without delay.
A Changed Programme for British Airways Members
If you are directing points to British Airways specifically, the programme has changed since the offer may last have been available. Head for Points reports that the British Airways Executive Club was replaced by the British Airways Club in April 2025. Under the new structure, Head for Points notes, membership years now run from 1 April to 31 March for all members, replacing the old system in which each member had a different anniversary month.
That standardised calendar year could affect how an Avios top-up interacts with your tier status, depending on where you are in the current membership year.
Fitting Into a Busy Season for Points Offers
Transfer bonuses have appeared across several programmes in recent weeks. We looked at how Bilt added JetBlue as a transfer partner in October, and at changes to Amex Membership Rewards pooling rules that affect how some cardholders manage their points. Our Miles and Points Offers Closing Soon tracker is the right place to keep an eye on other deadlines running at the same time.
You can use our Airline Search to explore British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus routes and plan where those extra Avios might take you.
The Bottom Line
A confirmed 30% bonus to three interlinked Avios programmes, with instant transfers and a hard deadline of 1 December 2026, is a straightforward opportunity for Chase cardholders who already have a redemption in mind. The value depends entirely on what you plan to do with the Avios once they arrive.
