Every active transfer bonus and the airline and hotel partners behind Chase, Amex, and Citi points — updated monthly with the newest elevated transfer offers.
Moving points to an airline or hotel partner is usually worth more than redeeming for cash back or a flat travel credit — and transfer bonuses (a temporary boost like an extra 25% or 30% points) make the math even better. This hub tracks the current bonuses plus the full partner rosters for Chase, Amex, and Citi points.

- If You Think Buying Miles Never Adds Up, You May Be Wrong: 250,000 Cathay Pacific Asia Miles for $3,990 Is About 1.6 Cents a Mile, Less Than the Bank Points It Would Take — Read November 3, 2026 on ASMALLWORLD's offer page and Cathay Pacific's own partner page: ASMALLWORLD's Prestige membership with 250,000 Asia Miles costs $3,990 instead of $5,790 through November 3, about 1.6 cents a mile. At our values the miles alone are worth about $2,875, but every bank route to the same 250,000 Asia Miles uses points worth $4,000 to $5,938. Cathay's New York to Hong Kong nonstops were $4,175 one way in business for January 13, 2027. The membership also starts a 90-day Hilton Honors Diamond trial and a year of GHA DISCOVERY Titanium, Jumeirah One Gold and SIXT Platinum.
- If You Think November's Transfer Bonuses Aren't Worth Moving Points For, You May Be Wrong: At Our Values Most Come Up Short on Paper, but One Seat Turns 66,000 Capital One Miles or Amex Points Into an ANA First Class Ticket That Sells for $15,728 — Every transfer bonus running in November 2026 from Capital One, Chase, Amex, Citi and Rove, priced per 1,000 points at our values: only the Capital One and Amex bonuses to Virgin Atlantic beat keeping the points. Four real bookings show where single seats and nights land: ANA First to Tokyo for 66,000 Capital One miles or Amex points against a $15,728 fare, Aer Lingus business to Dublin for 39,000 Chase points, a Wyndham resort night in Puerto Rico for 35,000 Chase points, and a Ritz-Carlton stay in Grand Cayman that stays under our values. Checked November 2, 2026; Amex's Virgin Atlantic bonus added November 3.
- If You Think the $1,591 Grand Cayman Night for 39,000 Chase Points Is the Deal, You May Be Wrong: Those Points Are Worth About $780 at Our Values, and IHG Sells the Same 70,000 Points for Under $400 Until Thursday — Read November 1, 2026 on IHG's own booking pages (signed out) and Chase's card pages. Chase's 80% transfer bonus to IHG One Rewards runs November 1 through December 3, 2026, and the claim going around checks out: the Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa on Grand Cayman shows reward nights at 70,000 points on January 3, 11 and 24, 2027, which is 39,000 Chase points after the bonus, against a cash rate of $1,591 a night on January 3 to 6. At our values the transfer still loses to the cheaper route: 39,000 Chase points are worth about $780, and IHG's current points sale, up to 100% bonus on targeted accounts through 11:59 pm ET Thursday November 5, sells 70,000 points for about $350 to $390. An IHG Premier card makes every fourth reward night free, so four nights run about $1,050 bought. The catches: the sale is targeted, reward availability is three January dates on a three-night search, a points night adds the $95 amenity fee and a 12% service charge, which the $1,591 cash rate already partly includes, and Chase transfers cannot be reversed.
- If You Think Capital One's 20% Flying Blue Bonus Isn't Worth It, You May Be Wrong: 1,000 Miles Become 1,200 Flying Blue Miles Worth About $16.80, Against $18.50 Kept. One Business-Class Seat to Paris for 38,000 Miles Says Otherwise — Read November 1, 2026 from Flying Blue's Promo Rewards page, Flying Blue's Light, Standard and Flex fare page, and the Capital One app. On paper the transfer loses: 1,000 Capital One miles become 1,200 Flying Blue miles worth about $16.80 at our values, against $18.50 if you keep them. The November Promo Rewards flip it for one month. Every long-haul row is 25% off, and a 20% bonus is a 16.7% discount, so the two multiply to 37.5% fewer Capital One miles, not the 45% people are adding up. That makes New York to Paris in business class 45,000 Flying Blue miles, or 38,000 Capital One miles transferred, and economy from Washington, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Portland, Las Vegas, Toronto and Vancouver 16,000. Book in November for travel through April 30, 2027; the bonus ends 11:59 pm ET November 30. The Promo price is the Light fare: in business that is one checked bag, no changes, no refunds and lounge access at an extra cost. Find the seat, then transfer.
- If You Think Flying Blue's Promo Rewards Are Only for Europeans, You May Be Wrong: Boston to Paris for 18,750 Miles, or 15,000 Amex Points With the Transfer Bonus — Read October 30, 2026 on Flying Blue's own page: October's Promo Rewards can be booked through October 31 for travel until March 31, 2027, at 25% off. Seven North American cities price from 18,750 miles one way to Europe in economy; Amex's 25% transfer bonus, ending the same day, makes that 15,000 points, and Rove's 40% makes it about 13,400 Rove Miles. Air France's Boston to Paris nonstop was $1,084 on December 19 and $310 on January 19, so the same award is worth it on one date and not the other. The Promo price is the Light fare: no checked bag, no changes, no refund.
- If You Think 75,000 Avios Is the British Airways Card's Best Offer, You May Be Wrong: Chase Is Emailing Some People 90,000 — Read October 24 and 25, 2026: Chase's public page offers 75,000 Avios on the British Airways Visa Signature after $5,000 in 3 months. A targeted British Airways and Chase email offers 90,000 for the same spend and $95 fee, with an October 28, 2026 deadline, and the Chase application page it links to shows the 90,000. At 1.35 cents an Avios, the extra 15,000 is about $202.50. What the email says, the eligibility line and what 90,000 Avios buys.
- If You Think Chase Points Boost Tops Out at 2 Cents, You May Be Wrong: Our Fairmont Empress Search Came Back at 2.5. One $250 Credit Decides Whether to Spend the Points — Checked October 19, 2026 in Chase Travel with a Sapphire Reserve: Chase's own Points Boost list prices two Edit hotels above the 'up to 2x' its terms promise, our Fairmont Empress search confirmed it with The Edit's perks still attached, and the Reserve's Edit statement credit decides whether points or cash comes out ahead.
- If You Think Singapore Airlines Awards Are Out of Reach, You May Be Wrong: Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle to Singapore Is 30,800 Miles Each Way in November — Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer Spontaneous Escapes takes 30% off Saver awards on a list of its own flights, ticketed by October 31 for travel November 1 to 30, 2026. From the U.S. that's 30,800 miles each way in economy between Singapore and Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle, 55,300 in premium economy to San Francisco, and Frankfurt to New York from 19,250. The table of U.S. flights with their open November dates, what the miles are worth, how bank points get there, and the no-change, every-flight-in-November rules, read on Singapore's page October 17, 2026.
- If You Think Amex Business Checking's 35,000-Point Bonus Isn't Worth Tying Up $5,000, You May Be Wrong: The 60 Days Cost About $17 in Interest — American Express is offering 35,000 Membership Rewards points on a new Amex Business Checking account: deposit $5,000 within 30 days, keep an average of $5,000 for 60 days and make five qualifying transactions. We price the points as a deposit and moved to airline partners, work out what the $5,000 costs in interest next to Amex's own Business Savings, and lay out the one-bonus-per-business rule, which transactions count, and the account's fees, read on Amex's pages October 16, 2026.
- If You Think Chase's 70% Marriott Bonus Is This Week's Best Transfer, You May Be Wrong: The Same 1,000 Points Are Worth $13.09 at Marriott and Up to $33.00 at Japan Airlines — Every transfer bonus running the week of October 15, 2026, priced per 1,000 points at our house values with the break-even for each: Chase to Marriott 70% (ends October 15), Citi and Rove to Qatar 15% to 35% by transfer size, Amex to Flying Blue 25%, Capital One to British Airways 20%, Rove to Japan Airlines 50% and Rove's new JetBlue partner at 20%. Plus Singapore KrisFlyer's 30% off November award seats and Chase's DoorDash credit going monthly on co-brand cards.
- If You Think Chase's 70% Marriott Bonus Isn't for You, You May Be Wrong: Chase Points Are Worth 2 Cents, Marriott's 0.77, and the Math Says Skip It. Five Nights in a $10,925 Overwater Villa Say Otherwise, Until October 15 — On a normal day a Chase point is worth about 2 cents. Until October 15, 2026, five nights in an overwater villa run 220,000 to 282,000 Chase points at hotels charging $1,178 to $2,185 a night, 2.5 to 3.9 cents a point: the W Maldives Superior Overwater Villa for 282,000 in late January or 236,000 in late May, and the Westin Bora Bora bungalow for 220,000 in December. One Marriott rule and one Chase bonus do it; the article names both, walks through the Bora Bora booking with Marriott's calendar screenshots, and prices seven more overwater resorts the same way, four of which fail.
- Atmos Members Day: Paris for 25,000 Points, Seoul for 20,000, Book by October 10. The Stopover Rule That Makes One Sale Fare Cover Two Cities, Priced Against April — Alaska's October Atmos Members Day deal prices Seoul from 20,000 points one way, Paris, Helsinki and Munich from 25,000, Sapporo and Stavanger from 30,000, for travel January 15 to March 8, 2027, booked by October 10. The free 14-day stopover survives the sale too: Seattle to London on Alaska's 787, a week there, then Finnair to Helsinki for 25,000 points plus $79 total. We read the 31-day price strip for every city from Seattle and searched the same routes in April: Paris and Seoul were about half off on October 7 (an October 8 re-check found cheaper April partner space to Paris, 27,500 on Condor), Munich is 9% against Condor's April price, and from New York the Paris price exists year-round on Aer Lingus. Corrected November 4, 2026: Alaska's FAQ says the Summit card's Global Companion Award excludes multi-city trips and can't be combined with other discounts, so two travelers should plan on the sale price for each seat.
- Bilt Is Cutting Its Hyatt Transfers on January 1, 2027. Here's What Stays 1:1 Until Then — Bilt's transfer rate to World of Hyatt drops from 1:1 to 4:3 on January 1, 2027, the same cut Chase made on four cards on October 1, 2026. The dates, the dollar math and the cards that still move points to Hyatt at 1:1.
- What Ends Tonight, Sept 30: Card Credits, Two Transfer Bonuses and Two Marriott Offers — Checked September 30, 2026: the monthly and quarterly card credits that reset at midnight, the two transfer bonuses and the Sapphire Preferred Hyatt ratio that end tonight, and the two Marriott card offers American Express lists as ending today.
- New York to London for 6,000 Miles on Virgin Atlantic: What the Flight Really Costs — Checked September 29, 2026 in Rove's flight search and on Google Flights: a Virgin Atlantic nonstop from New York JFK to London Heathrow on January 7, 2027 for 6,000 miles plus taxes and fees. What the same flight cost in cash, how to work out what each mile is worth, how a Rove transfer booking works, and which other points programs transfer to Virgin Atlantic.
- Alaska Now Lets You Choose How You Earn Status. Which of the Three Ways Should You Pick? — Checked September 29, 2026 against Alaska's own announcements, fact sheet and FAQ: from October 1 you choose how Alaska and Hawaiian flights earn points and status points in 2027 (distance, price paid or segments), and the default drops today's fare bonuses. Which option earns the most for different trips, what the coming Bank of America points transfer is worth at different rates, and every other change Alaska announced that day.
- Bilt Rent Day, October 1: Three Months of Hilton Diamond for Bilt Gold and Platinum, and Is the Transfer Worth It? — On Rent Day, Thursday October 1, 2026, a Hilton transfer of 1,000 Bilt points brings instant Hilton Diamond through December 31 for Bilt Platinum members, and Bilt Gold members can reach it by paying $200 of Bilt Cash to move up one tier. Silver tops out at instant Gold. The Hilton bonus runs 75% to 175% by tier, but at our everyday value of 0.4 cents per Hilton point, 1,000 Bilt points buy $7 to $11 of hotel against about $16 at Hyatt, so the points pay only for a high-cash-rate night. Also: Amtrak at 25% to 100%, double points, and the terms, with screenshots.
- Delta's SkyMiles Flash Sale Ends September 24: Round-Trip Awards From 12,800 Miles — Delta's SkyMiles award flash sale runs through September 24, 2026. Every fare is a round trip in Main cabin on a fixed date pair: Los Angeles to Las Vegas from 12,800 miles, Boston to Florida from 17,600, Dallas Fort Worth to Lisbon at 50,400, and Rome, Porto, Catania, Marrakesh and Cape Town at 68,000 round trip from Atlanta. Taxes were $12 on nearly every domestic deal. Amex Membership Rewards transfers 1:1 into SkyMiles; Marriott and Hyatt do not.
- Costco on DoorDash and the Amex Gold 4X: We Priced One Cart on Three Apps, and Only One Beat the Warehouse — Costco warehouses take Visa only, so the Amex Gold never earned there. Through the delivery apps it earns 4X, because the app is the merchant. We priced the same cart on the shelf and on DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub: DoorDash marks every line up 11.25%, Uber Eats 12%, then fees, and the 4X returns about $4 on orders that cost $9 to $12 more than walking in. Each app has one card credit that flips it. Two got to even or a little under. Only one came in well under the warehouse, before and after its credit.
- Citi ThankYou Now Transfers to Japan Airlines: 30% Bonus Through October 24, and the Ratio Depends on Your Card — Citi added Japan Airlines Mileage Bank as a transfer partner on September 20, 2026, with a 30% launch bonus through October 24. The bonus is the same on every card, but the base ratio is not: Strata Elite, Strata Premier, Prestige and AT&T Access More get 1,300 miles per 1,000 points, the no-fee cards get 910. JAL's own chart puts a one-way business class seat from the US at 55,000 miles, so 43,000 points on one tier and 61,000 on the other, plus about $345 in surcharge and fees. One JAL rule can strand the bonus: a new account cannot redeem for up to 60 days.
- Where Do Avios Work? Which Airlines Take British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Qatar Avios, and How to Move Them — Avios is one currency shared by British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus and Qatar Airways, and it books every oneworld airline. This page answers the questions people actually search: which airlines, how to move Avios between your own accounts and to other people, when they expire, what joining and booking cost, and which US bank points convert.

- Transfer Bonus History: Every Bank-to-Airline Bonus We Priced in 2026, and Which Were Worth It — A dated record of the transfer bonuses we priced in 2026 from Chase, Amex and Bilt, with the verdict we gave on each and the three things that caught readers: bonuses the bank's screen never shows, bonuses set by your status tier, and airline promotions that stack with a card offer. Plus the four-step way we price one.
- Dallas to Madrid for 20,000 Avios Each Way (16,000 Amex Points Until September 27) — Iberia's nonstop from Dallas to Madrid prices at 20,000 Avios each way in economy (plus $102.40 in taxes and fees at checkout), 36,750 in premium economy and 50,500 in business on off-peak dates, and Amex is paying 30% extra on transfers to Iberia through September 27, 2026. That makes an economy seat 16,000 Amex points and business 39,000. Here is Iberia's published chart for every US gateway, the two November 2026 dates we found, and how to run the same search on avios.com for free.
- 8 Transfer Bonuses Are Live in September 2026. We Priced a Real Seat or Night Behind Each One. — 8 transfer bonuses across 5 programs are live in September 2026. We read 6 of them on first-party pages, priced one real award from each program's own chart, and ran the holding test on the six we can value: only Capital One to Japan Airlines beats leaving the points alone. Checked September 5, 2026, re-checked September 6.

- Amex Gold April 2026 Refresh: What Changed and Whether You Should Care — Amex updated the Gold Card on April 30, 2026: same $325 annual fee, but the welcome spend requirement jumps from $6,000 to $8,000.
