- Amex –> Hilton
- Chase –> Air France Flying Blue
- Added April 12th All US programs –> Avianca Lifemiles
I also left the Chase –> Marriott Bonvoy in the table below as it’s ongoing.
Remember you can always find all Transfer Bonuses – past and present – here.
| Chase | Get 25% Bonus Flying Blue Miles when you transfer Chase points to Air France Flying Blue | Ends 11:59PM EST on May 15th, 2023. | FlyingBlue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. The best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond. |
| Chase | 50% Bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy | Ends May 15, 2023 | Could be nice for a 5 night stay (5th night free) but do the math first and don’t transfer speculatively.
Remember that for 2023 and on, Marriott’s program will be all revenue based, so really look before you transfer. |
| Amex | Get a 30% bonus when you transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Hilton (1,000 Amex = 2,600 Hilton Honors) | Ends April 30, 2023 | Never say never. While Amex points are worth about a third of an Amex point, this promotion closes the gap pretty well. If you are booking a 5 night standard room award stay where the 5th night is free, the math could work in your favor.

Added April 12th
| From: Amex, Citi, Capital One, and Brex | 10% bonus on transfers from Amex, Citi, Capital One, and Brex. Transferred LifeMiles and the bonus miles will be accrued no later than 24 hours after the LifeMiles Partner reports the request of miles transfer. Details. | Ends April 22nd | Notes: Known for the best way to fly First Class to Europe on Lufthansa with no surcharges and other good deals. Also see: Downsides of LifeMiles program |
There is also apparently a highly targeted Amex –> Emirates transfer bonus (100% bonus), but I cannot find anyone with it nor the expiration date, so comment below if you have it!

New to all of this? My “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available on Amazon and at major booksellers.
What do you mean by saying from 2023 and beyond Marriott’s program will be all revenue based? Do you mean points no longer accepted? Confused.
I could have worded it better – but it refers to the fact that they are (more and more, not all at once) tying the cost in points to the cash price, making it harder to get outsized redemption value.
