You log into your chase account and one of the options for the points is to transfer them to any number of airline and hotel partners (though Hyatt is the only hotel partner ever worth considering)
You'd need a loyalty account with whatever airline or hotel in question set up, then you use the chase website to move your points from chase to the airline or hotel.
Transfer ratio is typically 1:1 but occasionally there's promos where it's better...for example there's a 20% transfer bonus from Chase to Aeroplan running till end of July.
A few more notes:
1) Typically you don't want to transfer out of chase to an airline or hotel unless you have a specific booking in mind.... because once you transfer the points can't be moved back, so you lose all the flexibility of having a lot of airlines to pick from.
2) Who you want to transfer to might not necessarily be the airline you actually want to fly on--- many, though not all, of the best sweet spots for point value are found in partner award charts. Partner awards are also how you can fly on airlines that aren't direct transfer partners of chase while still using chase points.
3) You'll want to ideally, if going anywhere popular, have a little flexibility in your schedule when planning... there might be a route where award seats are available on say a Thursday but not a Friday or something. Likewise WHEN you book matters.... ANA flights like the one I mention for example are notoriously in demand because of how great a value they are... so you usually want to be ready to book those when the award calendar first opens up with ANA, 330 days in advance. As another poster discovered, if you wait until just a couple of months ahead of your travel dates you'll probably have trouble finding anything.
Typically for any given trip just starting with "best use of chase points to Europe" or wherever you're trying to go, will bring up articles from the usual points blogs (TPG, upgraded miles, etc)- look at those and see which are likely to work for you as a start- often they'll include with each suggestion the best way to check award seat availability for the given program too, and even sometimes mention the best time to book (X days ahead or whatever)
No. People refer their spouses all the time for example.
You don't use the portal. The portal is garbage- especially for the pointy end of the plane.
You transfer to an airline. Where business is just about always 2x economy, and you can easily get 4-6 cents a point on the low end for business, 6-8 cents for great redemptions.
I'm flying ANA business from NYC to Tokyo, returning Tokyo to LA, for 85,000 points, which is a $7000 cash ticket roundtrip--- even discounting the taxes on the ticket I'm getting almost 7.5 cents a point.... or compared to your other example tickets I'm paying roughly the SAME amount (if I treated the points as 1 cent each for cash) as your coach redemptions but instead getting to fly in business class in one of the best luxury products in the sky.
If you're still looking at portal values you need to do some reading before trying to discuss the topic further- value via transfers is massively higher than the portal for anything outside budget airlines in coach.
Well put sir thank you for the breakdown and reminder, I would like to be like you when I grow up
Thanks for all the tips in this thread. I've been meaning to open a Preferred because I have 600K+ points on my free Chase Sapphire and have heard I should transfer them to a Preferred to make the best use of them.
My reason for asking is that I'd like to get the card as late as feasible before my international trip, so that I have as much time as possible to charge enough money to get the bonus points. But obviously I don't want to cut it so close that I can't get the card before I have to leave.

The timing starts after you apply, so you want the card asap so you can start working on it immediately. Getting the card late doesn't help.
Not sure where you get "over $1300" from, my total taxes on the reward flight was 763.05 USD.
And I already mentioned that in the math- that's how I got ~7.4 cents a point, I subtracted the cash cost first. If you left that out it'd be well over 8 cents a point.
If you don't think $300 total to fly 14 hours, each way, in business instead of coach is worth it you've never flown anything but coach.
More importantly though it totally debunked your original actual claim that it's 3x the cost to do so, or that points are only worth 1.5 cents.
Now you're just moving goalposts after your original claims were disproven.
They haven't done that for years
Nope!
Same with european travel. My sweet spot is between $400-500 for coach and $1000-1200 for business, RT. Nobody is offering RT from US to EU for 20,000 points at any time (2-2.5c) much less business or first for that. I've taken multiple trips for that price, including one last month that was an open-jaw, and I'm currently looking at flights next fall to europe which are under $1200 business RT. If someone finds me a deal for 20k points RT, no taxes, on a WAS-AMS, I'd be all over it - but it doesn't exist.
