What happened
Chase Ultimate Rewards has launched a limited-time transfer bonus to IHG One Rewards. Between April 1 and April 30, 2026, members receive a 70% bonus on transfers. Points normally transfer at a 1:1 ratio, but during this promotion, 1,000 Chase points become 1,700 IHG points. Transfers are typically instant and can be used an unlimited number of times. This 70% bonus is considered average compared to historical offers which have ranged from 50% to 100%
