How to Book Lufthansa with Amex or Chase Points

I actually just went through this last month when I wanted to book my Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt using my Amex points, so I totally get the confusion! Here’s what worked for me — and it saved me a ton of time.

I first tried booking directly through the Amex Travel portal, but the Lufthansa flights I wanted weren’t showing the best redemption options. A friend suggested transferring my Amex points to Chase Ultimate Rewards first (since I also have a Chase Sapphire card), and that opened more seat availability through Lufthansa’s partners like United. Still, I wasn’t 100% sure about seat upgrades and fare classes.

That’s when I called 877-764-3622, and honestly, that made all the difference. The rep helped me check availability, walked me through the exact transfer steps, and even confirmed the booking while keeping my taxes and fees low. It was way faster than waiting on the airline’s international line.

If you’re trying to use Amex or Chase points for Lufthansa, I’d say start online—but if things look confusing or you’re stuck between redemption options, call 877-764-3622. They’ll get you sorted out instantly, whether it’s booking, canceling, or changing your flight.

You can easily book Lufthansa flights with Amex or Chase points by transferring them to a partner airline within the Star Alliance network. Lufthansa itself doesn’t accept direct transfers from these programs, but you can transfer Amex Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards points to programs like Air Canada Aeroplan, United MileagePlus, or Avianca LifeMiles, and then book Lufthansa flights through their reward portals. For example, Aeroplan offers good value for Lufthansa Business and First Class redemptions. Once you transfer points, search for flights on the partner’s website and choose “Book with Miles.” Keep in mind that transfers are usually instant for most partners but irreversible. Taxes and surcharges may apply, especially for premium cabins. If you prefer simplicity, you can also book Lufthansa flights directly through the Amex Travel or Chase Travel portal using your points like cash, earning miles while redeeming points simultaneously.
