Transfer bonuses abound

by Colin Hogan, Newsletter editor

Transfer bonuses on your credit card rewards are like magic. They take your points and effortlessly turn them into … more points! And if July was the month of great credit card welcome offers, August is staking its claim as transfer bonus month.

Right now, you can take advantage of lucrative transfer bonuses from several top credit card rewards programs. Since these are limited-time offers, we’ll get right into what’s available.

American Express Membership Rewards

You can get a 30% bonus when you transfer your Amex Membership Rewards points to British Airways Executive Club, Iberia Plus and Aer Lingus AerClub. This offer, which is available until Sept. 30, gives you 1,300 Avios for every 1,000 Amex points you transfer.

You can also get a 20% bonus if you transfer Amex points to Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles. This offer ends Aug. 31, and you will receive 1,200 HawaiianMiles for every 1,000 Amex points you transfer.

You’ll need to log in to your Amex account to check whether these offers are available. If you need a refresher on how to utilize Amex’s transfer partners, be sure to check out our Membership Rewards guide.

Capital One

You can get a 20% bonus when you transfer Capital One miles to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. The offer is available until Sept. 1. You will receive 1,200 Qantas points for every 1,000 Capital One miles you transfer.

You can check out our guides on how to transfer your Capital One miles and how to maximize their value through transfer partners for more insight.

Chase Ultimate Rewards

From now until Aug. 14, you can get a 70% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy. This gives you 1,700 Marriott Bonvoy points for every 1,000 Chase points you transfer. While this partnership isn’t the most valuable way to use your Ultimate Rewards points, this is one of the higher bonuses we’ve seen offered for this transfer. So if you’ve been wanting to boost your Bonvoy points stash, this may be a good time to do it.

Citi ThankYou Rewards

Last, but certainly not least, you can get a 25% bonus when transferring Citi ThankYou Rewards points to the Air France-KLM Flying Blue loyalty program. This is an especially great deal when you pair it with Flying Blue’s monthly Promo Rewards, which include economy flights from the U.S. to Europe for as little as 15,000 miles one-way. That means you would only need to use 12,000 ThankYou points to score one of those fares!
