Bonus Offer

Earn 100,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $15,000 on eligible purchases with the Business Gold Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership. Terms apply.

Get a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Hilton Honors.

Offer expires on Mar 14, 2025

While it’s always hard to recommend speculative transfers, Hilton points have gotten more attractive since integrating SLH hotels into Hilton Honors (See Dave’s musing about his thinking on how Hilton points may be becoming more valuable and this more recent article about the extreme value in SLH and other high end Hilton brands.). The integration is already providing exceptional value at properties with rates in the $1,000 – $2,000 a night range for, on average, 130,000 points a night. So, it appears his musing has become a reality.

And as long as you have at least the lowest tier Hilton status, the 5th night is free on any award and resort fees are also waived on award stays.

We value an Amex point at 1.7 cents and a Hilton point at 0.5 cents and while those values are an average, with a 5th night free award you can definitely do well transferring 1,000 Amex points for 2,500 Hilton Honors points.

Our advice is to run some sample searches for potential redemptions to see the value you’re likely to get before transferring.

For context on the size of this bonus, since 2022 Amex has had 6 transfer bonuses to Hilton. A 40% one for Platinum Card holders only last year and the other 5 were 30%, 25%, 30%, 30%, and 30%. So this is in line with a standard offer that Amex offers 2 to 3 times a year.

Get a 15% transfer bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Avianca Lifemiles.

Bonus is offered by Lifemiles
Offer expires on Feb 28, 2025

It may take up to 24 hours to get the bonus miles which are being offered by Lifemiles rather than Amex.

Exact end time is February 28th, 2025 (11:59 PM GMT-6).

Details of the transfer bonus are here on the Lifemiles website. The bonus is being solely offered by Lifemiles and therefore you will not see the offer on the American Express website.

That said, I do not think almost anyone should be taking advantage of this offer.

As I said on the 1st, when Bilt was offering up to a huge 100% transfer bonus:

Avianca is a Star Alliance partner that does not pass along fuel surcharges, however:

Keep in mind that Avianca recently devalued their program.

Also see: Downsides of the LifeMiles program.

With frequent website issues, terrible customer support, and change/cancel fees of up to $200 a ticket, it’s just not for me.

Unlike the Bilt offer, with this offer a mere 15%, I cannot see a case for the transfer unless you were literally about to make a Lifemiles booking anyway.

  • Amazing Membership Rewards points earning rate for 6 popular business spending categories
  • No Preset Spending Limit means your spending limit is flexible. Unlike a traditional card with a set limit, the amount you can spend adapts based on factors such as your purchase, payment, and credit history.
  • Card membership includes the very well regarded American Express customer service

Pros

  • You can't beat the 4X points on 2 out of the following 6 categories each month: U.S. advertising and media, U.S. gas stations, U.S. electronic goods retailers and software & cloud system providers, U.S. restaurants, U.S. wireless telephone service providers, and U.S. Transit
  • Although the annual fee seems high, if you max out the 4X on $150,000 in purchases, that earns you 600,000 Membership Rewards points which Your Best Credit Cards values at around $10,000
  • Card membership includes the very well regarded American Express customer service

Cons

  • The high annual fee, despite being worth it for high spenders
  • If you spend well over $150,000 a year in these categories, you may max it out and remaining spend earns at just 1X.
  • Car rental CDW coverage is secondary to your own auto insurance

Instant Transfers as well as solid transfer partners. The value would go up if they had any hotel partners with a fair exchange rate. ANA (an exception to instant transfers), Virgin, Air Canada and Avianca are top airline partners for maximizing your points. They can also transfer to Delta if you wish and while the rates aren't ideal, they can transfer to Marriott and Hilton as well.  ANA provides almost unbeatable value for booking a Round the World flight all in Business Class. The stated value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via their booking portal, where they are only worth between 1 and 1.5 cents. We've also created a Guide to American Express Membership Rewards.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners. We use an average value that you can expect to get by utilizing your points for these transfer partners. If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. Also keep in mind that when you redeem your points, you can elect to book travel through the Ultimate Rewards portal where the Sapphire Preferred and Ink Preferred have a point value of 1.25 cents per point and the Sapphire Reserve has points worth 1.5 cents each. You can move points freely between your Ultimate Rewards cards, i.e. from a Chase Freedom Unlimited to a Chase Sapphire Reserve. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..

They have a similar network to AA in terms of reach via the Star Alliance and also (unlike Delta) allow for booking First Class international awards in the Star Alliance network, but they charge noticeably more for Partner Awards and the rates keep (stealthily) rising. United partner Lufthansa tends to have good availability to Europe making it somewhat easier to use to Europe than American, which relies heavily on British Airways and BA charges incredibly steep surcharges on those awards.

For a limited time, earn 75,000 bonus ThankYou® Points after spending $4,000 in the first 3 months of account opening, redeemable for $750 in gift cards or travel rewards at thankyou.com.

Get a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou to Qatar Airways Avios.

Promo is run by Qatar - Will not show on Citi site
Offer expires on Mar 15, 2025

This transfer bonus is being run on the Qatar side, so you will not see the bonus offer on the Citi ThankYou website. 

This bonus offer is valid for Point Transfers completed between 02/16/25 12:01 AM ET and 03/15/25 11:59 PM ET

Terms and Conditions for Citi Strata Premier™, Citi Prestige®, AT&T Access More Cardholders in the US:

  • For the Avios Points promotional offer, you will receive 1.2 Avios for every 1 ThankYou Point transferred during the promotional period listed above. The normal conversion rate is 1 Avios for every 1 ThankYou Point transferred. For example, if you transfer 1,000 ThankYou Points, you will receive a total of 1,200 Avios.

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, Finnair, or Aer Lingus) has a better redemption price since you can freely move between them. You can even connect your British Airways account directly inside Qatar’s website for easy and instant transfer.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Qatar has devalued their own program twice in recent months, first significantly raising the pricing for AA and Alaska awards, then by adding significant new surcharges on long haul premium awards by almost 200%. I wouldn’t transfer speculatively for just 20% myself, but an Avios pro user with lots of ThankYou points might.

Also, I have to admit I did not realize that AT&T Access More cardmembers could transfer to Qatar – however, the card has not been available to new applicants or even by product change in many years.

Here is a link to the offer on the Qatar website.

If you have a Citi Strata Premier® card or a legacy Citi Prestige card, you can transfer your points to Citi's full range of airline and hotel partners. Other ThankYou points-earning cards can be pooled with your Premier or Prestige to unlock airline and hotel program transfers. We calculate that you can get an average of 1.6 cents per point when redeeming this way. If you have any other Citi ThankYou point cards and do not have a Strata Premier or Prestige, then your ThankYou points are worth 1 cent each.

Hyatt award rates range from 3,500 to 45,000 points per night at their regular hotels and resorts. At all-inclusive resorts and Miraval, the prices can reach as high as 58,000 points per night, Almost without fail, during even remotely peak times, we can find roughly 2 cents per point in value. You can even book Suites for incrementally more points (Premium Suite costs twice as much as a room, for example). I tend to find these are one of the best ways to spend Chase Ultimate Rewards points which transfer 1:1. They are the only major hotel program in the US with fixed award charts making it a great program to be able to set goals for your redemptions..

Delta uses a fully dynamic pricing model on most awards, with the program aiming to offer you about 1.1 to 1.2 cents per point. However, you can still occasionally get much more value, especially during SkyMiles Flash Sales. Note that while you can book SkyTeam alliance flights with Delta SkyMiles, you cannot book international First Class on any SkyMiles partner.

Bonus Offer

Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. That's $900 toward travel when you redeem through Chase Travel℠.

Get a 50% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy.

Offer expires on Mar 31, 2025

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 Ultimate Rewards 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 transfer makes sense, so do the math – but you likely do not want to transfer speculatively unless you are a Bonvoy pro and believe you will exceed value you can get via other Ultimate Rewards partners.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, and Ink Preferred all have the ability to transfer to airline and hotel partners. We use an average value that you can expect to get by utilizing your points for these transfer partners. If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. Also keep in mind that when you redeem your points, you can elect to book travel through the Ultimate Rewards portal where the Sapphire Preferred and Ink Preferred have a point value of 1.25 cents per point and the Sapphire Reserve has points worth 1.5 cents each. You can move points freely between your Ultimate Rewards cards, i.e. from a Chase Freedom Unlimited to a Chase Sapphire Reserve. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.
