👑 Best Ever Offer

You may be eligible for as high as 300,000 Membership Rewards® Points after spending $20,000 in eligible purchases on your new Card in your first 3 months of Membership. Welcome offers vary and you may not be eligible for an offer. Find out your offer. Terms Apply.

Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Offer expires on Jul 31, 2026

Get 30% more Virgin Points when you transfer Membership Rewards® points through 7/31/2026.

Chase and Citi have both had 30% transfer bonuses to Virgin this year, but this is the first one of 2026 for American Express Membership Rewards®.

You can see historical transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic here. They can go up to 40%, although we have only seen 30% in 2026.

Redeem for flights starting at 6,000 points. We like using points for domestic Delta flights (when there is availability!) as well as for SkyTeam flights and, of course, ANA First and Business Class flights. Virgin’s own flight rewards are dynamically priced but with high surcharges. I’d been seeing a lot of Upper Class seats from 29,000 points but I’m not seeing much now so do some homework on what you are hoping to book before transferring.

ANA First and Business class awards:

  • First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
  • First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

(Note that you can book one way for half the price of the points price listed. Also you must call to book these. Find availability on United’s site first. If you see it there, Virgin can usually, but not always, book the same for much less. Also, there have been reports that award availability between the US mainland and Japan isn’t bookable through Flying Club within 14 days of departure.)

Get a 20% transfer bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Hilton Honors.

It's back...
Offer expires on Jul 14, 2026

This bonus briefly launched near the end of June and was abruptly pulled. It’s back now for the next two weeks. It was probably always intended to start today.

Hilton just ended a transfer bonus of 20% to Hilton on May 30th and it’s rare to see one repeat so soon, but my American Express Membership Rewards® account is showing a new 20% bonus. Prior to May, the last Amex to Hilton transfer bonus was in September 2025. It’s possible that this is targeted so if you are interested, check your account to see if the 20% bonus is showing.

Here’s what I had to say in May:

Historically, which we can see in our master list of past transfer bonuses from Amex to Hilton, the offers tend to range from 25% -40% (with 40% being somewhat rare).

Obviously it’s been more attractive at 25%, 30% or 40%, but it could be worth considering for some with a redemption in mind, especially using the 5th night free on awards if you have Silver Elite status or higher as that increases your value both by giving the 5th night free and because resort fees and room tax are 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 2,400 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. Note that following devaluations last year, Standard Reward night rates can be as high as 250,000 points / night.

Keep in mind that if you have any Free Reward Night Certificates (valid on any Standard Reward night) which can be earned with a Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card (each anniversary year and after $30,000 and also after $60,000 spent in a calendar year) or the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card (earned after $15,000 spent in a calendar year), you can add before or after a 5th night free award for a longer stay.

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

Bonus is offered by Lifemiles directly
Offer expires on Jul 15, 2026

Transfer American Express®  Membership Rewards® points to Avianca Lifemiles between June 15th, 2026 (12:00 AM GMT-6) to July 15th, 2026 (11:59 PM GMT-6), 2026 and receive a 15% bonus miles.

This bonus is sponsored by Lifemiles directly so you won’t see it on your American Express Membership Rewards® account. Luckily, Limemiles does state that transferred Lifemiles as we ll as the bonus miles will be accrued no later than 24 hours after the Lifemiles Partner reports the request of miles transfer.

You can view all transfer bonus details on the Avianca Lifemiles promo page.

We just saw one of these in March – i.e. these are frequent and nothing to get too excited about unless you were about to transfer anyway.

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

Keep in mind that Avianca devalued their program in 2024.

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, although I know there are some fans.

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.

Pros

  • A wide array of travel and lifestyle credits and exclusive access that can enhance your life.

Cons

  • High annual fee that will require a bit of work to fully maximize.
  • Besides airfare and select hotels, it's not the best card to use for other purchases as it only earns 1X on categories outside of flights booked directly with the airlines (5X) or through the Amex Travel portal (5X on up to $500,000 of airfare purchases per calendar year) and 5X points for prepaid hotels booked with Amex Travel.

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.

🎁 Bonus offer

Earn 150,000 Miles once you spend $30,000 in the first 3 months from account opening

Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer Capital One Miles to EVA Air Infinity MileageLands.

Offer expires on Jul 31, 2026

Transfer bonus of 1,000 Capital One Miles = 975 Infinity MileageLands Miles ends 11:59PM Eastern Time on 07/31/2026. This is a 30% transfer bonus as this normally transfers 4:3 and this makes it nearly 1:1.

Keep in mind that Citi ThankYou points also transfer to EVA at a 1:1 ratio so this only makes sense if you not only use the program but also don’t have ThankYou points.

Typically, the main use of EVA Air miles are to book business class awards on EVA. These are not released to partners, most of the time, although it’s been flagged by Tim @ Roame.travel that they have recently been making some available to partners 7 days before the flight. Still, if you want to advance plan, you need EVA miles.

It can take up to 36 hours for the transfer to go through, so you can’t find space and then transfer, but there is really good award space for its own members so as long as you have some flexibility, you should be able to find a flight.

They do offer Star Alliance Round the World awards and with ANA no longer offering their really generous RTW award, this could be a nice option. These are 180,000 miles for economy, 325,000 miles for business class, and 480,000 miles in first class, although good luck finding 1st award space for that many segments!

While you can book other Star Alliance awards with EVA (like US to Europe in Business Class for 65,000 miles), the prices aren’t compelling enough to use EVA for them, especially without instant transfers. Surcharges are applied.

  • With a $300 annual travel credit and 10,000 miles (worth $100) each year at renewal, the credits you receive are actually worth more than the annual fee.
  • Free authorized user cards
  • No Preset Spending Limit; Earns Capital One Miles

Pros

  • The annual fee is more than covered by annual credits
  • Comes with access to Capital One lounges and Landings and participating Priority Pass™ lounges
  • No Preset Spending Limit

Cons

  • The annual fee, while effectively negative $5 after credits, can feel like a lot.
  • Aside from bonus points for booking through Capital One Business Travel, there are no bonus categories. Still, all eligible purchases do earn 2X miles per dollar spent which is great.
  • Points don't transfer to any domestic airlines, although you can use other partners to book domestic award tickets on domestic airlines.

It's worth noting that some Capital One cards earn 2 miles per dollar on everything, making the 1.6 cent per mile value an understatement as you'd be earning a 3.2% yield on every day spend. However, this assumes you will learn how to utilize the Capital One airline and hotel transfer partners, most of which transfer 1:1. The minimum value is 1 cent when used to book travel in their portal or to  cover previously paid for travel, however, our calculator assumes you will use Capital One's air and hotel transfer partners when calculating a 1.6 cent per point value. We also have a Guide to Capital One Miles.

👑 Best Ever Offer

Earn 100,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.
Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Offer expires on Jul 14, 2026

Flash Sale! Get 30% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on June 9, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on July 14, 2026.

You can view past transfer bonuses to Virgin Red and past transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic which range as high as 40%.

Redeem for flights starting at 6,000 points. We like using points for domestic Delta flights (when there is availability!) as well as for SkyTeam flights and, of course, ANA First and Business Class flights. Virgin’s own flight rewards are dynamically priced but with high surcharges. I’d been seeing a lot of Upper Class seats from 29,000 points but I’m not seeing much now so do some homework on what you are hoping to book before transferring.

ANA First and Business class awards:

  • First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
  • First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
  • Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

(Note that you can book one way for half the price of the points price listed. Also you must call to book these. Find availability on United’s site first. If you see it there, Virgin can usually, but not always, book the same for much less. Also, there have been reports that award availability between the US mainland and Japan isn’t bookable through Flying Club within 14 days of departure.)

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.

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.

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.
