British Airways is the only airline that overlaps both MR and UR, and they can be redeemed for flights on their partner American Airlines.

However be forewarned that you are NOT allowed to transfer points into a frequent flier account that isn't yours. Chase will close down your account, cancel your card and confiscate all of your points without warning if you do this. They don't give second chances either, so I wouldn't try it.

hey CS,

so can I transfer UR points to united (my account as well), and use those points to buy an air ticket for my brother for example?

Is it against the rules to transfer UR points to my spouse as well?

You can transfer UR points to your own account, and after they're in your own United account Chase doesn't care what you do with them. The names on the United account and your Chase account need to match. Afterwards if you want to redeem it for a ticket for someone else, you're free to do so. You should also be able to transfer UR points to your spouse's account, and this is the only exception.

Do you know how do they verify if it's my spouse? Same physical address? 

Will it count for people who live with their girlfriends? (counts as domestic partner or whatever the term is right?) 

Thanks!

I know they use address to verify, but after that I'm not 100% sure. Others may have a better idea than I do about this one.
