How to transfer persecution points to the Southwest
One of the best things of the transferable points is that you can redeem them for awards with airlines that have never flown or accumulated points or miles before. But if that is the case, you must configure a Southwest Rapid Rewards account before you can transfer your persecution points to the southwest.
Go to the Southwest site to create a free one. Then, visit your Chase portal and go to your Rewards Ultimate. Click “Trip” on the upper toolbar and choose “Transfer points to the partners.”
On the next screen, you will see a list of the Chase’s travel partners, with any available transfer bonds indicated at the top. Show down and click on the Southwest option.
This will take him to a page with some rules about the transfer of his points to Southwest. For example, the points transferred through the Chase portal are not eligible for Southwest state. You will also have to pay taxes and rates Redestations of rapid rewards points.

After checking the small print, click on the blue “transfer points” button in the lower right.
On the next page, you must enter your number of rapid Southwest rewards. Chase also allows you to transfer points to an authorized user on their Chase account, so you can enter your fast rewards number. Once this step is completed, click “Next.”
Then enter the number of points you want to transfer. This must be a 1,000 multiple, so it is possible that you should transfer some more points than you need for redemption.
The next page will give you the opportunity to review your information before processing the transfer. Remember that transfers are irreversible, so be sure to have a redemption in mind and have confirmed the availability of awards space before transferring. It is also a good idea to verify the spelling of your name, its number of fast rewards and how many points are transferring before pressing “send”. An innocent typographic error could make thousands of points won with so much effort to transfer only 10,000.
If you are ready to complete the transfer, click “Send” and wait for your points to reach your fast rewards account.
According to the Chase site, “most points transfers occur for the next business day, but can take up to 7 business days.” However, TPG tests have shown that most southwest transfers occur instantly. That means that he could be reserving his prize flight a few minutes after transferring his persecution points.

However, it is possible that it can obtain an even better relationship if you can take advantage of a Transfer Bonus. Chase transfer bonds are sporadic, but if one finds one that aligns with their travel plans, it can save thousands of points.

Should I transfer persecution points to the southwest?
According to the TPG in April 2025 ValuationsThe persecution points are worth 2.05 cents each, while the fast rewards points only are worth 1.4 cents each. That is because Flexibility of transferable points It makes them inherently more valuable.
Awards awards at historic southwest prices based on cash rates, so it will generally obtain a value of around 1.4 cents per point when redeeming quick reward points for flights. However, the airline was recently changed to Variable exchange rateswhich means that you can get a lot or less value of your points. This can lead to more Sweet spots In the Rapid Rewards program, similar to other Chase transfer partners such as United AirlinesAir France and Hyatt.
Before transferring your points to Southwest, make sure this airline makes more sense. Take a look at the other members of the Chase airline first and compare the awards and flight details, as well as the accessories that it is possible to buy, such as Revised bags and seat selection rates. If Southwest is running a sale on your desired route or offers flights at a better time for you than other airlines, it may be the best option. The same happens if you already have a stash of fast rewards or a complementary pass in your account.
For example, a couple of years ago, I transferred the Chase’s rewards points to my fast rewards account to buy a round trip travel ticket Turks and Caicos. My ticket cost 46,000 points, but thanks to the complementary pass I had at that time, I obtained my partner’s ticket just for the cost of taxes and rates. As a result, I spent 46,000 persecution points in two seats that would have cost almost $ 1,400 in total, giving me a value of around 3 cents per point. I could not have reached that kind of deal with any other airline.
But most importantly, make sure it is not a better treatment simply reserve your southwest flights directly through Chase Travel. Depending on the Chase card you have, you will get a value of 1.25 cents per point or 1.5 cents per point. In addition, reserved flights in this way will gain rapid rewards points such as a normal income ticket. This could make it a better option, depending on the flight you are taking.
For example, this unidirectional flight from the Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in February would cost 16,000 points plus $ 5.60 in taxes and rates when reserved in the southwest.
However, from me Chase Sapphire preferred It gives me 1.25 cents per point through Chase Travel, I can book the same flight for 14,919 points, and gain rapid reward points in the process. If you hold the CHASE SAPPHIRE Reserve® (see rates and rates), which offers 1.5 cents in value by point through Chase Travel, could book the same flight for only 12,467 points.
In fact, it is better to reserve all kinds of Southwest rates directly through Chase Travel on this flight. In each case, he will exchange fewer persecution points than if he transferred them to their fast rewards account.
However, if you already have a decent balance of fast rewards points and you only need to overcome your account to have enough for the prize ticket, transfer from Chase to Southwest could make more sense.
As such, it is important to always compare prices with Chase Travel and Southwest to make sure you are not using more points than you need.

How to win pursuit points
The more rewards points accumulate, the sooner you can exchange your next free trip with Southwest or any of the other Chase members. These are some of the favorite TPG cards that will help you gain final rewards points through welcome bonds and daily expense:
However, you are not limited to these persecution cards. I personally love him CHASE FREEDOM FLEX® (see rates and rates) and the CHASE FREEDOM UNLIMITED® (see rates and rates). They do not win final rewards points for themselves, but they also have one of the letters listed above, it can Return those points in cash at complete final rewards and transfer them to any of the Chase members.
