A new, bookmarkable resource now tracks every active credit card points transfer bonus in one place, along with a detailed history of past offers. For rewards enthusiasts, this means you can instantly see which programs are offering extra value right now—potentially boosting your points by 10–40% or more.
Our Take
Good news for points maximizers. Having a single, up-to-date source for all transfer bonuses is a game-changer for anyone who wants to squeeze maximum value from their credit card rewards. With transfer bonuses often adding $100–$800 in value to a single redemption (at our cents-per-point estimates), this tool is a must-use for savvy travelers.
What Changed
- A new live tracker now lists all current transfer bonuses across major programs (Amex, Chase, Citi, Capital One, Bilt, etc.)
- Includes a searchable history of past transfer bonuses for reference
- Updated in real time as new bonuses are announced
- Source: Travel On Points
Who Benefits Most
- Flexible points collectors: If you hold cards like the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Amex Gold, you can time transfers to catch a 20–40% bonus, turning 50,000 points into 60,000–70,000 airline miles (worth $1,120–$1,400 at our valuations).
- International award travelers: Booking premium cabins via partners (like transferring Amex points to Air Canada Aeroplan during a 20% bonus) can save you $400+ per ticket.
- Bilt Rewards users: With Bilt’s 2.2¢/pt value, a 25% transfer bonus to a partner like Flying Blue can make rent payments go even further—50,000 points become 62,500 miles, worth up to $1,100 in flights.
- Deal chasers: Anyone who waits for the best transfer bonus before booking a big trip can easily add hundreds of dollars in value per redemption.
Who Should Be Cautious
- Last-minute bookers: If you need to transfer points immediately for an urgent trip, waiting for a bonus may not be feasible.
- Single-program loyalists: If you only use one airline or hotel program, transfer bonuses may not align with your needs or preferred partners.
- Low-balance holders: If you have fewer than 10,000 transferable points, the incremental bonus value may not justify the effort.
What To Do Right Now
- Bookmark the current transfer bonus tracker for quick reference.
- Before transferring points, always check for active bonuses—waiting even a week can mean 20–40% more value.
- Review the historical bonus data to spot patterns (e.g., Amex to British Airways often runs 30% bonuses every spring).
- If you’re planning a big redemption, consider topping up your balance with a new card sign-up bonus timed to coincide with a transfer bonus.
