Current point transfer bonuses

Amex Transfer PartnersThe best points rewards programs, in my opinion, are those that allow points to be transferred to many different airline and hotel loyalty programs.  In this way, it is often possible to get outsized value from your points.  For example, suppose you want to fly lie-flat business class to Europe.  Prices from the US are typically $3,000 or more.  If you use a point program to pay with points for that airfare, you’ll pay 300,000 points when points are worth 1 cent each or 200,000 points when points are worth 1.5 cents each (as with the Chase Sapphire Reserve or US Bank Altitude Reserve).  If you can find award availability for those same flights, though, the same flights will typically cost 140,000 miles or less…  Sometimes much less (depending on the airline program).

One way you can get even better value is to take advantage of transfer bonuses.  Every now and then a transferable points program will offer a bonus: you’ll get more miles or points than usual by transferring points to a particular airline or hotel program.  Similarly, airlines sometimes offer bonuses for transferring points from hotel programs.  Usually transferring hotel points to airline programs doesn’t offer good value, but Marriott Bonvoy can offer good value for certain types of transfers.

This page is designed to always show current point transfer bonuses.  Please keep in mind that we list all transfer bonuses regardless of whether or not we consider them a good deal.  In general you should only transfer from a transferable points program if you have a specific high value use in mind for the transferred miles or points.

Chase 30% transfer bonus to VS just started today. Ends Nov 15th.

[…] Step 3: Check to see if there are any transfer bonuses. That is when a bank will give you extra points/miles just for transferring your points to a specific transfer partner. Frequent Miler keeps an ongoing list of all current transfer bonuses. So check here for that list. […]

Is there anyway to subscribe to this page to send an email notification whenever a new transfer bonus pops up?

Greg The Frequent Miler

No, there isn’t a way right now, but our team is discussing this to see if we can make something work

GET 20% BONUS
AEROPLAN POINTS

For a limited time, eligible Chase cardmembers get 20% more Aeroplan bonus points when they transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points to Aeroplan points.

Hurry, this offer ends July 31, 2023

Just got it in my email today.

Also, missing Qatar 30%

erik

There are quite a few missing, and the admins do not update even though we point it out.

Tim Steinke

What’s missing? I can add it in today.

Stephen

Did the Qatar Airways bonus close early? Haven’t seen it since Monday this weem

adam

hey guys,

take a look at your Citi–> Lifemiles 25% bonus. It must have been a typo, but your expiration date is incorrect hence, it’s showing it in the expired chart. 🙂

Tim Steinke

Thanks, fixed it

erik

I’m a big fan of the AirFance bonuses, make for great rates for travel to Europe from North America. However for the last 2 weeks, I am unable to search on the AirFrance website. I get results on the first search then zero results on all subsequent searches. I’ve tried clearing the cache, different browsers etc and nothing works… anyone else seeing this?

Fenspinbi

We’re past due for a 40% bonus to British Airways Avios. I’m looking to book QSuites again as a couple…

SiPapi

Yeah I am waiting for the bonus too. Hopefully from Amex since I have a good stash of 150k points there! Any idea around when the bonus will come around?

ChadS

That makes several of us, waiting on British Airways, mainly because of the household account I can use for my family easily with the Avios.

Greg The Frequent Miler

If you have Citi points you can do the current 30% transfer bonus to Qatar Avios and then move the points to BA.

ChadS

Good idea. I have 60K in Citi, 90K in Chase and 70K in Capital One, 190K in IHG, trying to leverage them all for my 2024 Europe trip. Just not sure which one (other than IHG that is a slam dunk) to use for free hotels and which ones to use for free flights. Been waiting and piling a while 🙂

ChadS

I found out that this Citi Thank You points offer is available only for those with Citi Premier and Citi Prestige cards. I have a Citi Business credit card, so no cigar :). For anyone else wondering about this offer, this information might help if you were thinking of transferring Citi Thank You points to Qatar Airways. Thanks

Ethan

I dont have that even though i have citi primier

ChadS

I am going based on what the Citi Thank You customer support told me. Regardless, I will find other means to use my points.

Jacob

I did not realize the Amex to Cathay Pacific was targeted as I did not click on the link above. Can you all please put Get 20% bonus when transferring American Express Membership Rewards to Cathay Pacific Asia Miles[Targeted] going forward? I planned a trip thinking the 20% was public. Thanks

Amex 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic started today through 6/14/23

John S

The “start date” and “end date” columns use different forms (MM/DD/YY versus YYY/MM/DD). Perhaps this can be fixed to a common format?

Richard

Citi transfer bonus to Flying Blue – 25% now through June 17th.

Adam Garrett

From May 1st to May 31st, 2023 there’s a 15% promo from Amex MR-Lifemiles for existing Lifemiles members prior to the transfer promo.

David

Just saw an AMEX transfer bonus to Flying Blue of 25%. I think launched today (5/1) through 5/22.

jordan23

way past due for some bonuses

Adam Garrett

Getting them to actually credit the miles was rough, took months, and required a lot of back and forth, but there was a 50% transfer bonus from Capital One Miles to Etihad during October 2021 that ended on October 31, 2021. CNBC & Dans Deals reported on it. More than 99% of my Etihad miles are from that transfer.

Erik

Great resource, only one that i know of!

Adam Garrett

There’s a 30% transfer bonus from Chase UR to Aeroplan points through 11:59 PM EST on Nov 30th.

Landon

I love this resource and keep coming back to it. My only quibble is that I wish the table used the same format for start and end dates. One is M/D/Y and the other is Y/M/D.

my name

Agreed

Gubmintmole

I am seeing a transfer bonus of 20% for Amex to Etihad on my Amex account

There was a targeted 20% promo from Amex to Singapore Air in December. Stephen Pepper reported on it with a FM article on it and I took advantage of it.

Adam Garrett

I’m seeing a targeted 20% bonus to Aeromexico from Amex through 2/15/2022 on my account (while not my dad’s account).

Greg The Frequent Miler

Updated. Thank you!

William Richter

Does anyone know if there are any bonuses for January 2022?

Adam Garrett

Is there any chance that the title of the “Brex: 20% Transfer Bonus To Select Airlines (LifeMiles, Flying Blue & More)” could be shifted to reflect the airlines of the “more” part, that way those remain searchable in the search option here? For instance, to look up the highest previous non-targeted bonus promo to Singapore Airlines, you would need to look up Singapore (max 15% transfer promo from a search for Singapore), and wouldn’t find it, unless you also searched “more”.

Ryan

Just FYI, you still mention SPG in the text 🙂

Greg The Frequent Miler

Oops! Fixed. Thank you!

George

Should probably add the current Bonvoy>LifeMiles 25% bonus, and the hotels>MileagePlus 30% bonus.

Maybe you can help:

Is it wise to link my BA account with my wife’s into a family pool?

I see these issues that may come up:

Transferring from, say, AMEX. Now we each have AMEX points and can transfer to our own BA mileage accounts (incidentally it is 1000 to 1400 today, but maybe that is targetted). How woudl we change that with AMEX? Or do we still retain our individual BA accounts and have the family pool as an additional account?

Also, what about Iberia where we also are linked and can transfer back and forth between BA and Iberia?

Any other issues with a family pool?

Greg The Frequent Miler

You’ll each retain your original BA number so I don’t think there will be any issues transferring from Amex. Moving points between BA and Iberia may be an issue. If moving points from Iberia to British Airways, your British Airways account cannot be a household account (but you may be able to get around this by transferring points first to Aer Lingus and then to British Airways… I’m not sure). I *think* you can move points in the other direction from a BA household account to an individual Iberia account, but I’m not sure.

Frank

Hmmm, I think I will keep them separate for now .. Thanks.

Adam Garrett

While it’s pretty underwhelming I’m seeing a 33.33% bonus miles promo in my account from Capital One to British Air ending 8/31, making Capital One to British Air transfer 1000:1000 instead of 1000:750. I miss the Amex 40% bonus promos to BA…

Adam Garrett

Hi,

I love the way that this list is set up! I think it’s the best compilation available because of the searchability. It looks like the [Targeted] 30% transfer bonus to Flying Blue from Membership Rewards that’s currently available that Frequent Miler reported on and the targeted one from December 2020 that I took advantage of at the time are missing.

Adam Garrett

I love the format of this list. What about the targeted flying blue 30% transfer from Amex? I recently took advantage of that one.

Greg The Frequent Miler

Thanks. I guess we missed that one!

Chase is offering a 60% bonus transfer promo to IHG. It is not one I will use since even with a 60% bonus it’s still far below the value of Chase Ultimate Rewards in my opinion & the opinion of many on average. That said, it’s the only public bonus transfer promo offer at the moment that I am aware of & the first of its kind!

Nick Reyes

Thanks for letting us know! This is the second Chase transfer bonus (they did one to British Airways last year), but the first to IHG. Terrible deal, but very interesting to see.

adam garrett

Yes I was saying the first bonus from Chase to IHG. I also was disappointed by the 30% Avios option last year since it’s less than the recurring 40% Amex transfer bonus to Avios. What would be incredible, though we may never see it, would be a bonus transfer to Hyatt.

Also there’s a 20% transfer bonus to Ethiad for October 2018

Nick Reyes

Where are you seeing this? I’m not seeing any bonus from Membership Rewards or Thank You points…

Nick Reyes

Update: I see. It’s from hotel points. I’ll add it.

YHBU covered it in German… basically it’s coming from Ethiad… any points transferred to Ethiad from hotels or Citi get a 20% bonus. I also got an email about a week ago so it’s for sure a thing

[…] Theoretically, the Boston-to-Dublin route (2,993 miles in distance) should also be in Zone 4, but a few years ago British Airways decided to begin charging (higher) Zone 5 prices for flights on that route.
