Earn 200,000 150,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $20,000 in eligible purchases on the Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership. Terms Apply.

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

Offer expires on Nov 30, 2025

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 a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy.

Offer expires on Nov 30, 2025

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.

  • With an array of both luxury travel perks and small business benefits, this is the ultimate premium card for high-spenders.
  • Generous protections when using the card to make purchases that provide genuine peace of mind.
  • Amex Membership Rewards® points are extremely valuable, especially for their ability to be transferred to hotel and airline partners.

Pros

  • Robust 5x Membership Rewards® on flights and prepaid hotels at Amex Travel
  • Access to over 1,550 worldwide airport lounges as part of the American Express Global Lounge Collection including Centurion Lounges, Priority Pass™ Select membership, and more.
  • Unlock over $3,500 in business and travel value annually on the Business Platinum Card.

Cons

  • High annual fee of $895
  • While there are variety of generous statement credits, they are mostly specific to certain merchants: i.e. Dell, Adobe, Indeed, etc.

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.

  • With over $3,500 in annual value, this is a premium travel rewards card with benefits galore. (Terms apply.) Note: Aside from the listed bonus categories, earn 1X on all other eligible purchases.
  • The Platinum Card® hasn't shed its travel roots, but it’s expanded beyond to become a lifestyle card with perks like Uber, lululemon, Saks Fifth Avenue, Oura Ring, Equinox, and more. (Enrollment required)
  • American Express Membership Rewards® points are extremely flexible, with the option to redeem for travel directly through Amex Travel or transfer to a wide range of airline and hotel partners.

Pros

  • A wide array of travel and lifestyle credits and exclusive access that can enhance your life.
  • There is no better card for the breadth and variety of airport lounge access worldwide. Plus, the Centurion Lounge network is the largest amongst credit card issuers.
  • One of the best cards to earn points on airfare: 5 points per dollar on airfare purchased directly with airlines or through the Amex Travel portal (on up to $500,000 of airfare purchases per calendar year).

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.
  • Car rental insurance is only secondary, not primary as it is with premium cards from Chase and Capital One.

Earn 125,000 bonus points after you spend $6,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening.

Get up to a 40% transfer bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Tiered Offer Based On Transfer Date
Offer expires on Dec 05, 2025

Get 40% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on November 7, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on November 20, 2025.

When the early bird offer ends, get 30% bonus Virgin Points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on November 21, 2025 and 11:59 PM ET on December 5, 2025.

Chase did this two tiered transfer bonus earlier this year as well (February), with 40% for two weeks, then 30%. They also had a flat 25% offer in the middle of this year. See all past transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  • Potential to earn an Earned Choice Award every year by spending $60,000+ on this Marriott credit card in a calendar year
  • The card offers an up to $300 dining statement credit, which can cut down the annual fee by nearly half

Pros

  • Annual free night award presents immense value with a redemption level of up to 85,000 bonus points

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.
