Get 70% bonus Marriott Bonvoy® points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET September 15, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on October 15, 2026. Bonus points will be awarded by Marriott Bonvoy in your Marriott Bonvoy account up to 7 days after your transfer is complete.
Although this is the best offer we have seen on a transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy since November of 2025, that doesn’t make it “good.”
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. You might do better paying cash or even using the Chase portal to see how much value per point Chase is giving at a particular hotel (perhaps with Edit benefits).
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.
This has also been added to our increasingly popular Transfer Partner Matrix.

The Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, 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. In the Chase Travel℠ portal, Points Boost allows you to redeem for airfare or hotels with point values ranging from 1.5 - 2 cents depending on cabin class or hotel. Specific flights and hotels that appear in Point Boost vary. If you do not have at least one of these cards, Ultimate Rewards are worth exactly 1 cent per point. You can also read our Guide to Chase Ultimate Rewards points.

Citi is the only US credit card transfer partner offering this bonus, although Rove Miles is as well. It’s tiered and you must transfer by October 31, 2026.
You must transfer the points in one transaction to qualify. It’s important to note that the terms say “Bonus Avios earned as part of this campaign will be credited to a Member’s Privilege Club account by 30th November 2026. ”
That doesn’t mean you won’t get them instantly, but know that you might not.
You can view the promotion here, as it’s being run by Qatar with several partners and won’t appear on the Citi ThankYou page.
Even if you didn’t want to use Qatar’s Avios program, you can link with British Airways Avios (emails must match and accounts must be open for 30 days) or on to other Avios programs like Iberia or Finnair.
Qatar’s program is best for booking Qatar-metal flights (70k for business class from JFK-Doha) or, my favorite, for JetBlue flights.
Transfer ThankYou Points to Lifemiles and receive 25% bonus miles. Offer is valid for points transfers to Lifemiles completed between 12:01 AM ET September 20, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET October 24, 2026.
This bonus gives you 1.25 Lifemiles per point transferred on a Citi Strata Elite℠, Citi Strata Premier℠, Citi Prestige®, and AT&T Access More. Other eligible ThankYou cards will get 0.875 miles per point (up from 0.7 normally).
25% is not bad, although Citi made the same offer twice last year (you can see all historical bonuses to Avianca Lifemiles from all issuers here) and again earlier this year. Many recent transfer bonuses from other credit card currencies have been just 15%.
Avianca has really been messing with its program lately. They’ve devalued twice in the last year or so although in the most recent devaluation all sorts of quirks emerged with pricing. For instance a business class ticket from the US to/from Europe could be 69,000 miles or it could be 80,000 miles.
All of the same issues I’ve always had around Lifemiles customer service remain. I don’t want to ever have to deal with a schedule change than needs a ticket reissued with them again, and sometimes the website shows phantom availability and phone agents are often unable to help after incredibly long hold times.
You can also stack a Lifemiles+ membership with this (from $20 / month or free if you have the Lifemiles Amex). If you found a business class ticket for 69,000 miles, after the 10% lifemiles+ discount and 25% transfer bonus, it would be a great deal at 49,680 – if you know the risks of Lifemiles bookings and are ok with that.
So, for expert Lifemiles users, this could be a great deal…. but would I speculatively transfer? I would not.
As of today, Citi ThankYou transfers to JAL Mileage Bank 1:1 on annual fee ThankYou cards and 1:0.7 on no-annual fee ThankYou cards.
And until October 24th, you will get a 30% bonus on your transfers from Citi ThankYou to JAL.
This bonus gives you 1.3 JAL miles per point transferred on a Citi Strata Elite℠, Citi Strata Premier℠, Citi Prestige®, and AT&T Access More. Other eligible ThankYou cards will get 0.91 miles per point (up from 0.7 normally).
The 1:1 transfer is nice, given that Capital One only transfers at 1:0.75 without a transfer bonus on.
Keep in mind that you can transfer 1:1 to JAL from both Bilt Rewards and from Rove Miles (if you are new and use this link, you’ll get 1,500 Rove Miles just for signing up).
We have a full guide to JAL Mileage Bank.
I absolutely love JAL Mileage Bank. I have written about how I used just 42,000 JAL miles and paid $285 in tax for an Air France Business Class flight on their newest product from CDG to JFK when Air France Flying Blue wanted over 90,000 miles + $600 in fees.
The guide will also point out that you can get great deals on one way flights but *killer* deals on round trip flights.
And of course, if you are skilled you can grab First Class or Business Class on JAL itself at 360 days out (you have to be quick, though!).
If you want even more, I wrote along piece today on MilesTalk about the Citi ThankYou –> JAL Mileage Bank launch.

ThankYou points have recently gained quite a bit of value with the ability to transfer to American Airlines' AAdvantage. Points can be combined among ThankYou earning cards. The value also assumes you will take advantage of transfer partners rather than book via the portal. You get a full 1:1 transfer ratio to most transfer partners when you have a Citi Strata Elite℠, Citi Prestige, or Citi Strata℠ Premier Credit Card. No fee Citi ThankYou cards transfer at a lower ratio, generally 0.7x the standard rate, unless you have one of the aforementioned card as well in which case all points are pooled with the best features of all cards (i.e. 1:1 transfer ratios). Some ratios may be higher or lower than 1:1 and are indicated when transferring.

Earn unlimited 3 miles for every $1 spent on eligible Alaska Airlines purchases; otherwise earn 1X
Alaska miles have a few things going for them that make them worth a bit more than the average mile, especially to Asia, Fiji, and the South Pacific where they still have separate charts with great rates on First and Business Class. However, since joining Oneworld, they are increasingly making awards more expensive as they integrate new programs. Generally, AA awards remain a bargain. They also partner with luxury Taiwan based Starlux and now own Hawaiian Airlines as well, which is now fully integrated into Atmos.
