Chase Launches 20% Bonus on Transfers to Air France–KLM Flying Blue

The boosted rate can lower the miles needed for discounted redemptions only if award seats are available and you are comfortable with added fees.

Overview

  • With the bonus, 1 Ultimate Rewards point converts to 1.2 Flying Blue miles, with a minimum transfer of 1,000 points.
  • Bonus miles are posted by Flying Blue after the transfer completes rather than by Chase at initiation.
  • Monthly Promo Rewards can price some U.S.–Europe economy awards under about 11,000 miles one way, which this bonus helps reach more easily.
  • Awards often carry notable surcharges, especially in business class, and availability can be scarce, so transfers are best made when a specific flight is bookable.
  • Flying Blue miles expire after two years, and receiving transferred points from a bank program resets the expiration clock.
