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.

Promo is run by Qatar - Will not show on Citi site

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.

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.

Bonus is offered by Lifemiles

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.

Two weeks only – Ends Feb 17, 2025

While they had a transfer bonus for 40% that ended at the end of November, you may still find 20% worthwhile if you have a trip to book now…

KEEP IN MIND: Virgin Flying Club has moved to a dynamic pricing for awards. In some cases we are seeing extreme value like 29,000 point Business Class awards from the US to London. In other cases, the prices have risen dramatically.  Run some searches before transferring.

It’s also worth Virgin Atlantic transfer bonuses are fairly frequent between various programs. See historical transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic here. This is the 8th transfer bonus in the last year from a bank program to Virgin Atlantic.

Best Uses of Virgin Flying Club points:

Two great uses are domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada and for economy flights to/from Europe that are as few as 12,000 miles each way on partners such as KLM or Delta.

If you could actually find a Delta One award FROM Europe to the US, it would be just 50,000 points. Availability is a unicorn. Unfortunately, awards TO Europe on Delta now cost more and have $1,000 + surcharges)

The other, well known, “best use” is to book 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

One day only; Tiered by status

In September, Bilt offered a transfer bonus to Avianca Lifemiles at a flat 50% bonus for all.

This round is tiered by status. with Blue, Silver, Gold, and Platinum members getting 20%, 40%, 50%, and 100% respectively.

A 100% bonus is tempting and I’m sure many Platinum members will jump on it, though the lower tiers are a bit less compelling. I still wouldn’t speculatively transfer even at 100%, but that’s just me.

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. But “expert Lifemiles users” that are familiar with all the negative quirks, may find the 50-100% bonus very tempting. I would not consider the lower tiers.

Get 20% Bonus Aeroplan® points when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

Chase Aeroplan Cardmembers can get up to 30% bonus Aeroplan points (20% from the limited time offer and 10% for being a Cardmember). To get the additional 10% bonus, Chase Aeroplan Cardmembers need to transfer a minimum of 50,000 points or more from Chase Ultimate Rewards® to Aeroplan, up to a maximum of 25,000 bonus points per calendar year.

This is the 3rd transfer bonus this year of 20% from Chase to Aeroplan.

Aeroplan sweet spots: No fuel surcharges; just a $39CAD booking fee. Lap infant just $25CAD. Can book Etihad and Emirates as well as Star Alliance flights. Add a stopover for just 5,000 miles!

Get 20% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Ultimate Rewards® points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 5th transfer bonus from a credit card rewards program to Flying Blue this year, all ranging from 20% – 25%.

Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as just 50,000 Flying Blue miles. That would be just 42,000 credit card points during this promotion!

Flying Blue is often the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic, however with Virgin’s new dynamic pricing you really have to compare the pricing on both programs as it can now be cheaper with Virgin in some cases. Flying Blue can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members when Saver award space is available.

Get 70% Bonus IHG One Rewards points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on December 4, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2025.

This is the 3rd transfer bonus from Chase to IHG One Rewards this year. One was 60% and one was 80%. This is right in between at 70%.

My same thinking applies whether 60%, 70% or 80%.

Do some sample searches before considering this bonus as we value an IHG point around 0.4 cents and a Chase point around 1.75 cents making the math here hard to justify. It’s a bit better if you have an IHG Premier or IHG Business Premier credit card which gives the 4th night free on awards.

We have seen past bonuses from Chase and American Express of up to 70%, so while 35% seems like a large bonus, it’s in the midrange of historical bonuses. (See historical transfer bonuses to Marriott Bonvoy).

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 Membership Rewards point at almost 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 Amex partners.

This offer runs through the end of 2024, so no rush to decide.

It’s also worth Virgin Atlantic transfer bonuses are fairly frequent between various programs. See historical transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic here.

Two great uses are domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada and for economy flights to/from Europe that are as few as 12,000 miles each way on partners such as KLM or Delta.

Another great use is on ITA Airways to/from Italy for 75,000 miles in Business Class. Surcharges are low; even FCO to JFK has only $55 in fees. (Expect that to end once Lufthansa closes on the ITA acquisition). And if you could actually find a Delta One award FROM Europe to the US, it would be just 50,000 points. Availability is a unicorn.

This simply makes the rate an even 1:1 as it’s normally 1:0.8. You’ll also have to pay the excise transfer fee. Unlikely to be a great deal for most.

One possible outsized redemption would be a Qatar Airways QSuite bookable with 70,000 points if terminating in Doha. Unfortunately, connections like to Male add quite a bit on. You may find better award space to Doha on JetBlue compared to other Oneworld airlines like American, but find the space on the JetBlue website before transferring anything!!

There are so many transfer bonuses to Avios, many 30% – 40%, that I don’t think you need to speculatively transfer on this one unless Capital One Miles are your only transferable point and you regularly use Avios anyway (meaning you know how you’ll use them in advance).

Otherwise, my usual thoughts apply:

Despite past shortfall domestic sweet spots evaporating, you can still transfer these miles over to Qatar Airways Avios where that same flight would be 9,500 miles (up from 6,000 but still cheaper than BA). And that’s the thing – you can transfer these Avios to any other Avios program airline including Finnair.

Also – outside of the US, BA still prices flights under 650 miles (i.e. SYD-MEL on Qantas) at 6,000 miles in Economy and only 12,500 miles in Business – hello, sweet spot!

BA does have a very favorable lap infant policy – 10% of the miles paid for the adult fare. Beware their draconian surcharges on long haul awards.

Get 40% Bonus Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points when you transfer Ultimate Rewards points between 12:00 AM ET on October 15, 2024 and 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2024. Most point transfers process by the next business day, but may take up to 7 business days.

CAVEAT: Beginning October 30th, 2024, Virgin Flying Club will move to a dynamic pricing for awards. Historically this has never been good news as higher priced times that you would get higher value from awards become more expensive with points. If you are transferring during the first two weeks of this bonus, you have time before the switch. We aren’t 100% sure if the dynamic pricing will apply only to Virgin metal awards or a wider swath of awards.

Virgin Atlantic transfer bonuses are fairly frequent between various programs. See historical transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic here. Excluding Bilt’s one-day 100% bonus on Sept 1st, other bonuses this year have been 30%.
