🔥 Active Bonuses
🆕 NEW! Avios are best for short-haul flights. Great for intra-Europe hops, NYC-Dublin on Aer Lingus, or short domestic flights on AA. 20% bonus makes sweet spots even sweeter!
LifeMiles has amazing sweet spots: 63k for Lufthansa First US-Europe, 87k for ANA First US-Japan. The 15% bonus stretches your points further. Great for aspirational awards!
Worth it if you're targeting Wyndham all-inclusive resorts in Mexico/Caribbean (15k-30k per night). Otherwise, Citi points are usually better transferred to airlines.
Preferred Hotels redemptions rarely beat cash rates. Capital One miles are better used for airline transfers or Pay With Points at 1¢ each.

💡 Transfer Bonus Tips
Don't Transfer Speculatively
Only transfer when you have a specific redemption in mind. Points stuck in airline accounts can devalue.
Check Award Availability First
Before transferring, verify the award space exists. Nothing worse than points trapped with no seats.
Hotel Bonuses Are Usually Traps
Marriott, Hilton, IHG bonuses look big but hotel points are worth less. Do the CPP math first.
Airline Bonuses Can Be Gold
30% to Virgin Atlantic? That turns a 110k ANA F redemption into 85k. Now we're talking.
