Points transfers cannot be reversed, so make sure you have found the flight you want to book before transferring points.
When should you transfer Chase points to Singapore Airlines?
TPG’s December 2025 valuation puts Chase Ultimate Rewards miles at 2.05 cents each and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer miles at 1.3 cents each. On the surface, it may not make sense to make a transfer, but in many cases, when you redeem your KrisFlyer miles for premium rewards, you can earn more than 2.05 cents per KrisFlyer mile.
As with any points transfer, compare the cost of booking the required award ticket versus paying cash or redeeming points through the Chase Travel℠ portal. Often, especially when redeeming for Singapore Airlines premium cabin flights, you’ll get a head start by transferring to Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer.
Here are some KrisFlyer redemptions to get the most bang for your Ultimate Rewards points:
- Book Singapore Airlines’ ultra-long-haul business class flight from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) or John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) for 117,000 miles one-way, plus taxes and fees.
- Traveling on Singapore Airlines’ fifth freedom route, from JFK Airport to Frankfurt Airport (FRA), business class one-way mileage is 89,000 miles, plus taxes and fees.
- Book one-way economy flights on United Airlines from the continental U.S. to Hawaii or Central America for 20,500 miles, plus taxes and fees.
bottom line
