These don’t excite me much, but who am I to judge if it excites you?

First up, Citi ThankYou is offering a 25% bonus to transfer to JetBlue
If you have only a DoubleCash or Dividend card you’ll only get 1 cent with the bonus (vs. the standard 0.8 cents). If you have a Premier or Prestige, you’ll get 1.25 cents. Note that you should always compare the cost of a JetBlue flight for cash or via a portal and calculate the points you’d earn from the flight vs. transferring. I find transferring is best only to top off a TrueBlue award, not to cover an entire award. JetBlue points are also now worth significantly more on economy tickets (as opposed to Mint seats).
Transfer until October 19th for the bonus.
Next, American Express Membership Rewards will get a 25% Bump into Hawaiian Miles
Hawaiian Miles aren’t the most versatile, but they can have utility. If you were looking to fly from the East Coast to Hawaii, you’re looking at a more than 10 hour flight. Hawaiian does offer lie flat for 40,000 one way. The catch? VERY, VERY limited availability. So make sure you know what you are transferring for and that the space is available.
As always, these transfers are irreversible and generally should never be done speculatively.
Will You Transfer?
Let me know here, on Twitter, or in the private MilesTalk Facebook group.
You can find credit cards that best match your spending habits and bonus categories at Your Best Credit Cards.
New to all of this? The MilesTalk “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available on Amazon and at major booksellers.
