No, Chase is not an American Airlines partner. This means you cannot transfer Ultimate Rewards points to the American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty program. However, there are a number of Chase credit cards that offer rewards for booking American Airlines flights.
Chase Sapphire Reserve cardmembers, for example, can be eligible to receive a statement credit up to $100 every four years for either a Global Entry, TSA PreCheck or NEXUS application fee. Memberships last five years.
