With over 50 points and miles deals set to expire in the next two weeks, now is the time for rewards enthusiasts to act. From lucrative transfer bonuses to limited-time award discounts and bonus earning opportunities, these promotions can mean hundreds of extra dollars in value—if you move fast.
Our Take
Good news for deal chasers: This is a rare convergence of high-value opportunities across multiple programs, but only for those who act quickly. If you’re strategic and ready to redeem or transfer, you can squeeze out significant extra value—by our estimates, some transfer bonuses alone can add $200–$400 in value on a $1,000 transfer. But procrastinators risk missing out entirely, as many of these offers won’t return soon.

Who Benefits Most
- Chase Sapphire Preferred cardholders: With a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways Avios, transferring 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points (worth ~$1,025 at our 2.05¢/pt valuation) could net you 65,000 Avios—worth ~$910 for short-haul flights, a 20% value boost over cashing out.
- Amex Gold or Platinum users: A 25% transfer bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan means 100,000 Membership Rewards (worth $2,000 at our 2¢/pt valuation) becomes 125,000 Aeroplan points—worth ~$1,750 for premium cabin redemptions, a $250 bonus.
- Citi Strata Premier holders: If you transfer 75,000 ThankYou Points (worth $1,425 at our 1.9¢/pt valuation) to Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles with a 20% bonus, you’ll get 90,000 miles—enough for two U.S.–Europe business class seats, worth over $2,500.
- Hotel loyalists: Hyatt, Hilton, and Marriott are running bonus-point promotions—Hyatt’s 3x points on stays can net an extra 6,000 points ($99 value at 1.65¢/pt) on a $1,200 booking.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Casual travelers with no immediate plans: If you don’t have a specific redemption in mind, transferring points speculatively can backfire—devaluations or unused points could erase any bonus value.
- Those with low points balances: Many promos require minimum transfers or stays; if you can’t meet thresholds, you won’t benefit.
- Travelers focused on cash-back: Most of these deals are for travel rewards, not cash-back—if you prefer cash, these offers may not be your best play.
What To Do Right Now
- Review your points balances across all major programs and cards.
- Check the AwardWallet promo tracker for expiring deals relevant to your accounts.
- Prioritize transfer bonuses and award discounts that align with your upcoming travel plans—run the math using our point valuations.
- Complete any required spending or bookings before the published expiration dates (most by July 7, 2026).
- Document confirmation numbers and screenshots for any transfers or bookings, in case of post-promo issues.
