Current Transfer Bonuses

This is almost never a good transfer unless you are topping off for an award you are ready to book. Keep in mind that we value a Chase point at roughly 3X the value of a Marriott Bonvoy point.

However, there are always exceptions and you might find a 5 night stay (5th night free) where the tranfser makes sense so do the math – but you likely do not want to transfer speculatively.

As always, your best uses are to fly Delta One to Europe (excluding England) for 50,000 miles – IF you can find available award space and to book ANA First and Business class awards.

Business Class on ANA to Japan would be 35,000 – 37,000 Chase points while First Class would be 56,000 – 66,000 Chase points (depending on if you are on the West Coast (cheaper) or East Coast.

One more great use is domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada.

Important Note: All bonus Avios earned will be reflected in your Privilege Club account by 15 June 2024. In other words, they may or may not show up when you transfer and therefore you cannot count on the full amount if you want to make a redemption now.

Remember that Qatar Avios has become competitive and inline with other Avois partners. It’s always worth checking whether one or another Avois partner (i.e. British Airways, Iberia, or Aer Lingus) has a better redemption price since you can freely move between them. You can even connect your Birtish Airways account directly inside Qatar’s website for easy and instant transfer.

You can book QSuites for 70,000 Qatar Avios from the US to Doha and on to Male, for example, for 85,000 points (one way).

Here’s an interesting one. Aeromexico Rewards points are worth *roughly* 0.75 cents each but with a wide range of ways to redeem.

Normally, you get 1.6 Aeromexico points for 1 Membership Rewards points so that bumps to 1,920 Aeromexico for 1,000 Amex under this ptomotion – so almost 2.1.

Aeromexico uses a range of redemption options including standard fixed awards and flexible awards – and you’ll see what’s available by searching and that does not require an account.

The last Aeromexico transfer bonus was in 2019, so these are pretty rare – though 20% isn’t a total game changer.

You can search here (use Google Translate in your browser if available as it’s in Spanish) to check possible redemptions.

Importantly, note the Aeromexico Rewards cancellation policy which is that, well, you can’t cancel it. You can change it, though.

Award Ticket may not be cancelled or reimbursed. If the Member decides not to use the Award Ticket and does not have a flight date scheduled, their Award Ticket will be open for a future flight on the same route, season and cabin.

The Award Ticket will be open for 1 (one) year after the original issuing date, so the trip must be completed within said validity period. Route or cabin changes are not applicable to new Award Tickets. However, there might be a tax and Premier Point difference between the original Award Ticket and the new one. Said difference must be covered when the new Award Ticket is issued. The issuing of the new Award Ticket is subject to seat availability on the desired flight.

As always, your best uses are to fly Delta One to Europe (excluding England) for 50,000 miles – IF you can find available award space and to book ANA First and Business class awards.

Business Class on ANA to Japan would be 35,000 – 37,000 Chase points while First Class would be 56,000 – 66,000 Chase points (depending on if you are on the West Coast (cheaper) or East Coast.

Transfer time is up to 48 hours (often close to instant, though).

Accor Live Limitless points are worth 2 Euro cents (about 2.2 US cents) towards stays.

That means that normally, transferring Citi points (or Capital One Miles) would only get you 1.1 cents in value due to the exchange rate. With this, you are getting 1.65 cents per Citi ThankYou point to redeem at their brands which include the likes of Fairmont, Raffles, MGallery, and Sofitel – 52 brands in total.

Cashing out Citi points for 1.65 cents could appeal to some.
