A transfer bonus is like getting rewarded for transferring your points!
Transfer bonuses are when a bank offers an incentive to transfer your points to a particular hotel or airline loyalty program. For instance, a bank might offer a 25% bonus when transferring to a hotel program, so when you transfer 1,000 points ➡️ you would end up with 1,250. It’s a great way to get even more value from your points! 👏🏻
Let’s jump into the current bonuses:
American Express Transfer Bonuses
British Airways, Aer Lingus, Iberia: 30% bonus (ends September 27th)
Chase Transfer Bonuses
IHG: 70% bonus (ends August 31st)
Air Canada Aeroplan: 30% bonus (ends September 30th)

Citi Transfer Bonuses
Flying Blue: 20% bonus (ends August 22nd)
Turkish Airlines: 40% bonus (ends August 31st) *This transfer bonus is offered by Turkish Airlines, so the bonus miles will show up after the transfer.*
Final thoughts
Transfer bonuses are another reason why I love earning flexible points so that I have even more options and opportunities for using my hard earned points!
These bonuses are only for a limited time, but I only recommend transferring your points if you are ready to book. Otherwise, if you transfer just for the bonus points, you might find that your points end up stranded if availability changes or you find a better deal. So transfer with a plan. 🗺️✈️
