Believe it or not, Hilton Honors isn't a Chase Ultimate Rewards® transfer partner. You can't directly transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hilton. However, there is a backdoor way. Here's how you can use your Chase rewards at a Hilton property.

No, Hilton is not a direct 1:1 transfer partner for Chase Ultimate Rewards points. This is a common point of confusion for travelers because Chase does have several other major hotel partners, such as World of Hyatt, Marriott Bonvoy, and IHG One Rewards. If you have a card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Ink Business Preferred, you cannot move your points directly into a Hilton Honors account. Instead, Hilton maintains an exclusive partnership with American Express. If you are looking to earn Hilton points through credit card spending, you would need an Amex Membership Rewards card or one of the co-branded Hilton Amex cards. However, there is a "workaround": you can use your Chase points to book Hilton hotels through the Chase Travel Portal. In this scenario, your points are essentially used like cash to pay for the room at a rate of 1.25 or 1.5 cents per point (depending on your card tier). While this allows you to stay at a Hilton using Chase points, you generally will not earn Hilton Honors points or elite night credits for the stay, as it is viewed as a third-party booking.
