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.
Valid 12:00 a.m. MT on 11/3/2025 to 11:59 p.m. MT on 11/30/2025.
I do not think many of you should be taking advantage of this offer.
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. Aeroplan also does not pass along surcharges (nor does United) and both are much easier to deal with.
At a mere 15%, I cannot see a case for the transfer unless you were literally about to make a Lifemiles booking anyway. This is the 3rd transfer bonus from Amex alone to Avianca Lifemiles.
Get 30% more Marriott Bonvoy points when you transfer Membership Rewards® points through 11/30/2025.
You’ll have 2 months to take advantage of this transfer bonus, but should you?
First of all, we have historically seen significantly higher offers across Amex and Chase.
Here is a link to historical transfer bonuses to Marriott Bonvoy, with 50%-70% in the list.
That said, this is still almost never a good transfer unless you are topping off for an award you are ready to book. Keep in mind that we value an Amex 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 transfer partners. Also keep in mind this transfer can take up to 48 hours.

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.

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.

Since Hilton moved to a variable pricing model, on average you'll be offered roughly a 0.5 cent value per point for average hotels. However, what is nice is that although the pricing is mostly variable, they still cap the "standard" redemption rate on all properties. With the 5th night free on all award stays and resort fees waived on award stays, it's very possible to well exceed this value - even getting 1-2 cents per point - when used wisely. With the addition of SLH as fully integrated into the Hilton fold, we had raised the overall expected average redemption value to 0.6 cents, but lowered it back to 0.5 cents after two devaluations in 2025 pushed awards at the top end from 150,000 points to 250,000 points - a sizable increase.

Earn 6X when you book Marriott Bonvoy properties direct. Earn 2X on all other hotel bookings.
While Marriott Bonvoy dropped all award charts in favor of a dynamic pricing system, it hasn't gotten out of hand and the 5th night free on awards can still provide outsized value. It's also hard to beat the breadth of Marriott Bonvoy properties all over the world. That said, the prices have gone up and up again, and the ever increasing resort fees are not waived on Bonvoy award nights, which does draw the point value down.
