Instant — usually under a minute

This transfer pair is marked instant and typically posts within seconds to a few minutes. Even so, occasional system delays happen — wait until you see the points in your destination account before doing anything else. These are typical times, not guarantees — always confirm award space first because transfers can't be reversed.

Points expiration

Chase UR: Ultimate Rewards points never expire while you hold an eligible Chase card. Close the account and points are forfeited.
Flying Blue: Flying Blue miles never expire as long as you earn (not just redeem) miles at least once every 24 months. Co-brand card spend or partner activity counts.
