The Deal

• Spend $900 in one or more purchases of flights directly with airlines and get $200 back as a statement credit via an Amex Offer for Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® cardholders.

Key Terms

• Expires February 28, 2027.
• Offer valid only on qualifying airfare for scheduled flights on passenger carriers, for flights booked online, through the airline mobile app, phone, in-person at an airline ticket counter.
• Offer not valid for flights purchased through any third-party, including third-party booking sites or travel agencies.
• The purchase must meet minimum spend requirement.
• Any portion of Membership Rewards points, credits or Miles used to partially pay the airfare will not count towards the minimum spend requirement for the purchase.
• Excludes charter or private jet flights, flights booked as part of a vacation or travel package, inflight purchases, gift cards, purchase of miles/points, and any other purchases made within airports such as retail, dining, and lounge charges.
• Qualifying purchases must total a minimum of $900 USD, following conversion from a foreign currency.
• Purchases must be made in USD.
• Offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries.

Quick Thoughts

This is a pretty useful Amex Offer for Marriott Brilliant cardholders seeing as it’s valid for four months and eligible spending across multiple flight purchases will count.

Even if you don’t plan to spend $900 or more on airfare, this will work when paying taxes and fees on award flights too. Just be aware that purchases need to be made in US dollars, so if you’re booking with a foreign airlines and they charge in their local currency, that’ll presumably be ineligible spend.

If you’re someone who frequently flies with United, I suspect that purchasing $900 of TravelBank Cash (or however much you need in addition to your organic airline expenditure in order to hit the $900 spending threshold) will also work to trigger the statement credit. A member of our Frequent Miler Insiders Facebook group has already confirmed that buying American Airlines gift cards from American Airlines works.

The Deal

• Get a 40% bonus when transferring Citi ThankYou points to Turkish Airlines.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• The campaign is valid between November 1 and November 30, 2026, and will end on November 30, 2026 at 23.59 Türkiye time (UTC+3).
• Campaign will provide 40% extra Miles to Miles&Smiles members who convert their ThankYou Points into Miles&Smiles Miles.
• Within the scope of the special offer, 40% extra Miles will be awarded to members. No extra Status Miles will be awarded.
• As part of this offer Miles&Smiles members can earn extra Miles up to a maximum of 50,000 Miles.
• The Miles earned during the campaign will be credited after the campaign ends.
• This campaign cannot be combined with any other Turkish Airlines campaign.

Quick Thoughts

A 40% transfer bonus is an excellent offer, albeit not quite as high as past 50% transfer bonuses we’ve seen from Citi and Rove to Turkish. It does, however, help go a long way towards negating the devaluation we saw late last year when redeeming Miles&Smiles for domestic United award flights.

With a limit of 50,000 bonus miles, you’ll max out this promotion when transferring 125,000 Citi ThankYou points. Do note though that the bonus miles won’t be awarded until December 1 at the very earliest, so you won’t have immediate access to those additional miles. That’s because the transfer bonus is being offered on Turkish’s end, so you won’t see the 40% bonus being displayed when logging in to your Citi ThankYou account.

h/t OMAAT

Here’s a list of all current and past transfer bonuses to Turkish Airlines from all transferable currencies:

American Airlines is running a new promotion through December 31 to incentivize people to join AAdvantage Business. They’re offering 10,000 bonus miles when you join with promo code BNS10K, but be aware of issues with a past promotion: they clawed back everyone’s 25,000 miles and gave only 5,000 miles as a consolation prize.

The Deal

• Join AAdvantage Business and earn 10,000 bonus miles when using promo code BNS10K.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• This is an exclusive offer available only to eligible businesses that successfully register in the AAdvantage Business program using promo code BNS10K during the promotion period.
• This enrollment offer ends on Dec. 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM CDT. All enrollments received after this date will not be eligible for the bonus miles offer.
• Each business is eligible for only one (1) enrollment bonus mile offer.
• Existing AAdvantage Business program members are not eligible for this offer.
• Following the successful enrollment in the AAdvantage Business program, a bonus of 10,000 AAdvantage bonus miles will be deposited to the eligible AAdvantage Business account within six (6) to eight (8) weeks after the promotion period ends.
• AAdvantage Business members must meet program activity requirements to access bonus and earned program miles – including the bonus miles associated with this enrollment offer. The minimum requirements are 5 active travelers and $5,000 USD in eligible program travel from the active travelers in a calendar year. See AAdvantage Business terms and conditions for more details.
• All miles awarded in connection with this promotion will be bonus miles.  Bonus miles don’t count toward AAdvantage status qualification or AAdvantage Million Miler status.

Quick Thoughts

July’s promotion turned out to be unexpectedly generous. That awarded 25,000 bonus miles, and at first it seemed like qualifying for the bonus miles would be tricky because the terms—as with this latest promotion too—state that the minimum requirements are five active travelers and $5,000 of program spend.

However, a reader pointed out that those requirements are waived for any Citi American Airlines business cardholders. That meant many people could register using that previous promo code and get the 25,000 bonus miles awarded instantly.

That was awesome, but it didn’t last long. American Airlines ended up clawing back all the 25,000 bonus miles awards that they’d issued instantly, providing 5,000 miles as compensation for affected members, which was scant consolation. I’m therefore a little surprised to see American Airlines offering a similar promotion again, albeit with a less generous reward, especially as it’s double the amount that they gave as a consolation prize to everyone who experienced a clawback just a few months ago.

I suspect that Citi American Airlines business cardholders won’t benefit from waived requirements this time around, but perhaps they’ll get lucky. If so, that’ll be an easy 10,000 bonus miles, but I wouldn’t count my chickens given that past experience.

The Deal

• Spend $20+ on Uber Eats & get a $10 statement credit via a targeted Citi Offer.
• Direct link to Citi Offers.

Key Terms

• Enroll by November 24, 2026.
• Redeem by November 30, 2026.
• Offer applies to valid purchases of $20 or more in a single transaction.
• Offer valid online only.
• Cashback is limited to 2 redemption(s) per Offer Cycle.

Quick Thoughts

This is a nice little deal considering it only requires $20 of spend. Unfortunately it won’t stack with Uber Cash received from an American Express Platinum Card® and/or American Express® Gold Card as you have to pay with an Amex card in order to redeem that version of Uber Cash.

The Deal

• Earn two elite night credits for every one night you stay on a Hilton for Business rate.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Promotional Period: Promotion begins November 2, 2026, at 5:00a.m. Eastern Time (“ET”), and ends on December 31, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET (the “Promotional Period”).
• Offer only valid for eligible stays booked at a Hilton for Business rate during the Promotional Period at participating hotels or resorts within the Hilton portfolio. A member must be enrolled in Hilton for Business prior to checkout of the applicable stay to be eligible for the additional night credit.
• No separate registration for this Promotion is required.
• Members will earn one (1) additional tier-qualifying night credit for each eligible night completed during the Promotional Period, up to a maximum of five (5) additional tier-qualifying night credits. If a stay begins before or ends after the Promotional Period, only eligible nights occurring during the Promotional Period will qualify.
• Please allow six to eight weeks after completion of an eligible stay for night credits to appear in your Hilton Honors account.

Quick Thoughts

Hotel chains often like to run these types of bonus elite night credit promotions towards the end of the year as it can incentivize people to make reservations they might not otherwise have booked in order to earn the next level of elite status.

This new promotion doesn’t require any registration, but you do have to book a Hilton for Business rate. That requires registration in the Hilton for Business program which many people will already have had done automatically when registering for the up to $50 quarterly Hilton credit on the Business Platinum Card® from American Express.

It’s a shame that the number of bonus elite night credits that you can earn is capped at five, but those could still prove to be useful nonetheless. Even if elite nights aren’t a consideration when it comes to elite status, they do also count towards Milestone Bonuses that start at 40 elite nights each year.

The eligible new properties were previously bookable for three months ahead of time. Since March 2026 though, IHG has extended the booking window, allowing you to make reservations for the new locations up to six months in advance.

With it being the start of a new month, there’s a new list of new IHG hotels that can be booked with points for a reduced amount.

The Deal

• Save 15% on award stays at new IHG hotels.
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Book by November 30, 2026, December 31, 2026, January 31, 2027, February 28, 2027, March 31, 2027, or April 30, 2027 depending on the property.

Quick Thoughts

A lot of the new IHG hotels—particularly in the US—aren’t very inspiring seeing as many are for brands like Garner, Candlewood Suites, Holiday Inn Express, etc. However, I find it’s always worth perusing the new lists because there are sometimes hotels that could be of interest.

There’s the new InterContinental Presidente Mexico City Miyana in Mexico, along with an all-inclusive Kimpton in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. There’s a Crowne Plaza in Times Square, New York; I’m not sure if this is a property that’s been rebranded from a different brand, or if this is the same Crowne Plaza in Times Square that’s been been revamped. Its recent ratings of 3.28/5 don’t inspire confidence either way.

There’s a new Vignette Collection property in Hong Kong, a voco in Shenyang, China, and an InterContinental in Taipei, Taiwan. In Europe, a Crowne Plaza in Vienna, Austria has opened, the Ruby Lilou Hotel Marseille has joined IHG, and Vignette Collection properties in England, Spain, and Portugal have also opened.

There are lots of other new hotels too, so it’s worth checking the list to see if any can save you points on upcoming stays.

Those savings are usually for hotel stays, but right now there are a few flight-related offers for Alaska Airlines and Aer Lingus.

The Deals

• Capital One Travel is offering savings for the following for targeted cardholders:
  • Get 10% off select international Alaska Airlines flights (max $75 savings)
  • Get 10% off select Alaska Airlines flights to Hawaii (max $50 savings)
  • Get $100 off select Aer Lingus flights
• Direct link to Capital One Travel offers. If that link doesn’t work, go to the Capital One Travel portal, then click the menu button in the top-right corner, then ‘Travel Wallet’, then ‘Offers’.

Key Terms

• Aer Lingus expires December 31, 2026.
• Alaska Airlines offers expire February 10, 2027.

Quick Thoughts

These offers can provide some decent savings, especially because you’ll also earn up to 5X miles by booking through the portal depending on your Capital One card.

The discount should be displayed during the checkout process, so make sure the 10% or $100 discount is being taken before submitting your booking. I needed to book an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Liverpool for me and my wife which came to more than $100 in total. There’s no minimum spending amount for that offer, but the $100 discount wasn’t applied. I therefore wouldn’t be surprised if the Aer Lingus flights need to either depart from or arrive in the US.

The discounts should also stack with any Capital One Travel credits you have, such as the $300 annual credit for bookings made through Capital One Travel on the Venture X and Venture X Business cards. For example, an eligible $200 Alaska Airlines flight should be reduced to $180 from the offer, with the $180 balance being payable with a $300 travel credit.

Unlike a recent Air France/KLM Amex Offer that was only valid for flights booked through Amex Travel, this latest iteration will be far more useful for many people as it’s valid on flights booked directly and so should work not only for airfare, but taxes and fees on award flights too.

The Deal

• Spend $1,500 in one or more purchases with Air France or KLM online & get $150 back as a statement credit with a targeted Amex Offer.

Key Terms

• Expires December 15, 2026.
• Offer valid only on Air France-marketed and KLM-marketed flights booked online through US websites airfrance.us and KLM.com or through the US mobile app.
• Flight must originate in the US and be charged in USD to qualify.
• This Offer applies only to eligible bookings that are paid for during the Offer period.
• Not valid for purchases made through partner sites, agents, or affiliates.
• Excludes KLM Package Deals, City Pass Amsterdam, hotel bookings, car rentals, ground transportation, tours, airport transfers, equipment services, Shop@KLM, purchases of miles, and lounge access fees.
• Excludes Air France Music, Air France Saphir, Air France Shopping, convention / conference / seminar services, baggage drop off, group reservations, La Boutique Air France, parking, Stress Free Flying workshop, flight crew training, Flying Blue Store, KLM Jet Center, KLM Wanna Gives.
• Excludes bookings made through a travel agent.

Quick Thoughts

The most important factor to be aware of with this Air France/KLM Amex Offer is the fact that flights have to originate in the US; if they are, that should also ensure that you’ll be charged in US dollars—another requirement for your flight(s) to be eligible.

Seeing as this offer is valid on flights booked directly, it should also be valid when paying for taxes and fees on award flights that cumulatively cost $1,500 or more. If you’re booking a few business class award tickets across the Atlantic, it won’t take too long to get to $1,500 of spend in addition to the mileage requirements.

The Deals

• There are targeted Amex Offers for Marriott brands including:
  • St Regis – spend $1,000 & get $200 back
  • Ritz-Carlton – spend $1,000 & get $200 back
  • EDITION – spend $1,000 & get $200 back
  • JW Marriott – spend $800 & get $160 back

Key Terms

• Offers expire November 30, 2026.
• Terms below are for the JW Marriott offer; terms are similar for the other brands
  • Offer valid only on room rate and room charges at a participating JW Marriott property in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
  • Reservations must be made online at jw-marriott.marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy App or by calling 1-888-236-2427.
  • Excludes all other Marriott brands, timeshares, residences, flight and hotel packages, car rentals, Vacations by Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club, gift cards, online retail purchases, hotel amenities, and purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points.
  • Qualifying purchases must total a minimum of $800 USD, following conversion from a foreign currency.
  • Offer not valid for lodging stays that are paid for before the promotion start date or after the promotion end date.

Quick Thoughts

All four of these Amex Offers provide the opportunity to save up to 20% on your stay. I was targeted for all of the above offers; there might be other Marriott brands out there, or different spending requirements and statement credits for the same brands, so be sure to check the terms for any offers you’re targeted for.

Note that the offers are only valid for stays at the individual brands in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, so they sadly won’t be of use any further afield than that.

These offers are only valid for payments made through the end of this month. If you have a stay at an eligible brand but your stay is due to take place after November 30, you could call the hotel and see if you can prepay for at least some of your stay in order to lock in the savings from the statement credit.

Alternatively, if you can find a property that sells Marriott gift cards (or Ritz-Carlton gift cards that are also valid at other Marriott brands), you could ask to buy gift cards at the front desk as that should also work to trigger the statement credit from the Amex Offer.

Quick Thoughts

If you’re interested in buying Choice points with this latest sale, it’s worth checking the pricing available on your account as there are sometimes targeted discounts that are higher or lower than other people see on their accounts. Choice cardholders in particular often benefit from lower pricing due to a larger discount or bonus.

We peg the Reasonable Redemption Value of Choice Privileges points at 0.75 cents per point (recently raised from 0.67 cents per point). That’s a (very, very slightly) higher value than the price available with this latest sale, plus there are opportunities to get outsized value with Choice points, so it shouldn’t take much effort at all to come out ahead when buying points with this latest sale. However, bear in mind that when paying a cash rate you’ll earn points on the stay, plus you can earn rewards through a shopping portal.

Despite these points purchases being processed by Points.com, a reader pointed out in the past that you earn 5X or 10X by buying these points with a Choice credit card (depending on which of the cards you have), as it treats it the same as spending at Choice properties.

You can also click through from a shopping portal to earn additional rewards on the purchase.

Right now, you can save 20% on ALL Signature plans when using promo code PREBLACK2026 which means you can pick up Accor points more cheaply than normal, while also getting elite status along the way (depending on which plan level you pick).

The Deal

• Save 20% on Accor ALL Signature plans when using promo code PREBLACK2026
• Direct link to offer.

Key Terms

• Expiry date unknown (but presumably before November 27, 2026 given the code).
• Status Nights awarded to a Member upon subscribing to or renewing an ALL Accor+ or ALL Signature membership, regardless of the number or type of memberships held, are subject to a maximum limit of 30 (thirty) Status Nights, aggregated across all memberships, for the purpose of determining the Member’s annual Status Nights balance.

Quick Thoughts

There are four ALL Signature levels—Essential, Discover, Explorer, and Absolute—and you can choose to subscribe monthly, quarterly, or annually.

Here’s a list of the annual pricing for each plan level, along with the various benefits that you’ll receive. It’s worth noting that the pricing displayed in the image is in Brazilian Reais.

The USD pricing based on the current exchange rate is as follows:

• Essential – US$168
• Discover – US$320
• Explorer – US$927
• Absolute – US$1,677

That means that when using the PREBLACK2026 promo code, the pricing will be as follows:

• Essential – US$134
• Discover – US$256
• Explorer – US$741
• Absolute – US$1,342

To give a sense as to the value on offer here, let’s take a look at the Absolute plan. Even with the 20% discount, the annual cost of $1,342 isn’t cheap. However, you do get some good benefits off the back of that subscription.

The most valuable of those are the points you’ll receive. Each month you’ll have 5,000 Accor points added to your account, along with an additional 5,000 points every four months. That means that at the end of the subscription year you’ll have received 75,000 points. ALL Accor points are worth a fixed 2 Euro cents per point, so 75,000 points are worth €1,500 which equates to US$1,679 at the current exchange rate. That means the ordinary price of an ALL Signature plan would purchase you points at the same value as they’re worth which isn’t worthwhile (if you ignore the other benefits). However, the fact that the PREBLACK2026 promo code gives you a 20% discount on that price makes it much more appealing, especially considering it’ll stack with Accor’s rate sales given the way Accor points are redeemed.

Accor gives two different ways you can earn elite status in the ALL program: status points and elite night credits. When subscribing to an ALL Signature plan, in addition to the points you receive, you’ll also earn both status points and elite night credits each month. With an Absolute plan, you’ll get 1,000 status points each month and 5 elite night credits.

Silver status is earned with 10 elite nights or 2,000 status points, so in both cases you’d earn that after two months of subscribing which should mean you’d earn that by the end of the year (assuming the nights and points start getting awarded this month). Gold status requires 30 elite nights or 7,000 status points, so you’d qualify via elite nights after six months. Platinum status requires 60 elite nights or 14,000 status points, but unfortunately Accor caps your elite night earnings to 30 per year when they’re earned via a subscription plan, so you’d still need to stay 30 nights in a year to hit Platinum (thanks to JoeSchmo in the comments for highlighting that 30 night cap). Accor’s top-tier Diamond status can only be earned via status points—26,000 of them—which means you’d need to earn 16,000 additional status points in 2027 which is equivalent to €6,400 (~$7,160) of Accor stays in a year.

If you only wanted to subscribe for 12 months in order to take advantage of the 20% discount, you’d earn 10 elite night credits and 2,000 status points by the end of 2026, then 30 elite night credits by June 2027 (due to the 30 night cap) and 10,000 status points by October 2027. That would mean you’d need to either stay 30 nights at Accor properties during 2027 in order to hit Platinum status by the end of next year, or earn an additional 4,000 status points.

There are a couple of other miscellaneous benefits for ALL Signature subscribers of any plan level:

• 10% bonus on transfers to partners
• Points don’t expire

In addition to those, there are other benefits available for higher plan levels:

• Transfer points for free to other Accor accounts after being subscribed for at least 4 months (Explorer and Absolute levels only). n.b. It only mentions transferring to other accounts; I don’t know if other people can transfer points to your account for free.
• Gift Accor elite status to another member after being subscribed for at least 4 months (Absolute level only)
• Exclusive tickets for Elite Experiences (all levels except Essential)
• Access to exclusive Dream Stay Offers (all levels except Essential)
• Access to the Pullman Guarulhos Executive Lounge at GRU airport in Brazil, limited to 5 visits per year; reservations required 3 days ahead of visit (Explorer and Absolute levels only)
• Exclusive experiences in select hotels once every 4 months (Absolute level only)

If you ever book paid stays at Accor, this sale can be a compelling way to save 20% on your stays. I believe Accor runs these Black Friday (or pre Black Friday) sales each year; I’m not sure if it’s possible to subscribe for a year, cancel the plan, then reapply with next year’s promo code to keep an ongoing discount. Please let us know if that’s possible, or if they stop you from obtaining a discount in consecutive years.

Given that pricing for these plans is denominated in Brazilian Reais, it’ll presumably process as a foreign transaction, so you’ll want to pay with a card that doesn’t have any foreign transaction fees. This could also be an appealing option for Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card holders seeing as that card awards 3X points on foreign transactions.

Quick Thoughts

This is an even more extensive list of Flying Blue Promo Rewards than normal, with good coverage from the west coast to the east coast. The bulk of the city/country/continent pairings are listed under long-haul flights, but the pairings for China, Mauritius, and Kenya are all listed under short/medium-haul despite being even longer distances than between the US and Europe.

If you have any semblance of flexibility with your travel dates, it’s worth leaving the date field blank when running award searches with Air France or KLM. That’s because the search results will then be displayed on a monthly basis, making it far easier to see award availability and discounted pricing at a glance.

Remember that Flying Blue recently made changes to its awards, introducing different levels. The lowest award pricing provides less flexibility and fewer perks than the more expensive tiers, so be sure to be check what you’re getting for the pricing.

Also be aware that there’s a 20% transfer bonus from Capital One to Flying Blue right now, so that can get you even better value if you don’t have sufficient Flying Blue miles in your account right now.

• Finnair Plus is selling Avios with a tiered discount:
  • 30% off when you buy 5,000-19,000 Avios
  • 35% off when you buy 20,000-49,000 Avios
  • 40% off when you buy 50,000-84,000 Avios
  • 50% off when you buy 85,000-200,000 Avios
  • Note that the exact price differs depending on the currency in which you pay, though at the top end you can buy Avios for as little as 1.06c per point. See below for more details.
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Sale is valid from 12:01AM EET on November 2 and 11:59PM EET on November 16, 2026
• Avios will be added to your account 1–3 days after the purchase
• The offer is only applicable to Finnair Plus members who joined the program before 30 October 2026 and have a minimum balance of 50 Avios in their Finnair Plus account.
• For this offer, the annual buy limit is reset, allowing members to purchase up to 200,000 Avios even if they have already reached the annual limit earlier in 2026. All other Buy Avios terms and conditions apply.

Quick Thoughts

Do note that in order to take part in this promotion, you’ll need to have joined Finnair Plus before October 30, 2026, and have a minimum balance of 50 Avios in your Finnair Plus account. That said, it’s easy enough to get Avios in your Finnair Plus account by moving Avios from one of the other Avios programs.  It’s also worth mentioning that you’ll get a 10% tier bonus based on the number of Avios you buy, so that could be useful if you’re chasing elite status with Finnair.

As a reminder, British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Qatar, Loganair, Vueling, and Finnair all use the Avios currency. It is possible to move Avios from one airline program to another in order to take advantage of the many different best uses of Avios.

As flagged by One Mile at a Time, to get the best possible discount, you’ll want to pay in Japanese yen. Finnair lets you decide which currency to use when buying Avios, and the price differs based on the currency you choose.

If you choose to pay in U.S. dollars, you’ll pay 2.17 U.S. cents per Avios before the discount. Assuming you’re buying between 85,000 and 200,000 Avios, that means you’ll pay about 1.09 cents per point when paying in U.S. dollars. However, they charge the equivalent of about 2.11 U.S. cents per Avios when paying in Japanese Yen. Therefore, if you choose to pay in Japanese Yen, after the 50% discount for the top tier, you’ll pay about 1.06 cents per Avios. Either way, it’s a terrific deal. Keep in mind that currency conversion rates can fluctuate, so you’ll want to check the latest valuations before you choose your payment currency.

Points purchases are processed by points.com, so they won’t qualify for any sort of airline bonus. However, Atmos Summit cardholders earn 3 points per dollar on foreign purchases. If you pay in Japanese Yen, I expect you’ll earn 3x Atmos points. Also keep in mind that if you’re going to pay in a foreign currency, you don’t want to use a card that charges a foreign transaction fee.

Whether or not this is a good deal depends on your capacity to use Avios. There are certainly some terrific uses of Avios among the many Avios programs so this could be well worth a purchase, depending on your points needs and your current points holdings.

Depending on your stash of cash versus points, it might make more sense to buy points in this deal than to transfer to an Avios program. Keep in mind, though, that we frequently see point transfer bonuses to the Avios programs, including a new one that dropped today. Therefore, whether or not you’ll be interested in buying is really going to vary based on your situation. This is certainly an offer to keep in mind, though, if you would like to become more flush with Avios.

The Deal

• A new Amex offer is out that’s good for $200 back when you spend $1,000 or more on flights with Etihad Airways by December 31, 2026. Note that the terms indicate that flights must originate in the U.S. and be charged in U.S. dollars to qualify, and enrollment is required.
• Direct link to this deal

Key Terms

• Enrollment is limited.
• Eligible Card Members must first add offer to their Card and then use same enrolled Card for qualifying purchases.
• Any Cards issued outside of the US are not eligible.
• Only Card Members who enroll are eligible.
• Limit of 1 statement credit per eligible Card Member account.
• Offer valid Etihad Airways-marketed flights booked directly with Etihad Airways online at US website etihad.com or through the Etihad Airways US app.
• Flights must originate in the US and be charged in USD to qualify.
• Excludes tickets purchased by phone or in-person at airport ticket offices, and purchases made on-board flights.
• The Offer is only valid for bookings paid for by 12/31/2026, however the travel can occur after the end date for the Offer, provided that the booking was paid for within the applicable Offer period.
• Purchases must be made in USD.
• Offer is only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries.

Quick Thoughts

The main challenge here is that flights must originate in the United States and be charged in U.S. dollars to qualify. On the surface, that’s not a big deal, but given that this is an Etihad Airways offer, that means you’ll need to be flying to or through Abu Dhabi to make use of this offer, and that’s obviously a long distance from the US. Still, it could be a great deal, particularly if it actually saves you around 20% on a booking you would have otherwise made.

I’m not positive whether taxes and fees on an award flight would count towards the offer, though I suppose if you’re booking on Etihad.com, they probably would (note that bookings made over the phone are explicitly excluded). That could make this useful for anyone flying an itinerary with a family that has particularly high taxes, so long as it is available on the Etihad website.

As always, keep in mind that this is a targeted offer that will show up for some cardholders but not others. You will need to make sure you enroll and use the card with which you enrolled in the offer to pay for your booking.

The Deal

• Get an 80% bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG One Rewards between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026

Key Terms

• Expires December 3, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

Chase Ultimate Rewards points normally transfer to IHG on a 1:1 basis, so this transfer bonus makes that 1:1.8. If you aren’t familiar with the value of IHG points, you might think that an almost doubling of the transfer ratio would be worthwhile, but far from it.

IHG points are – at the time of publishing this post – on sale for 0.5 cents per point. That means that you can buy two IHG points for one cent. If you needed, say, 45,000 IHG points, you could buy those for $225. If you were to transfer from Chase, even with this bonus, you’d need to transfer 25,000 Ultimate Rewards, so you’re getting less than one cent per point. That’s awful value, so it shouldn’t be done.

The Deal

• American Express Membership Rewards is giving a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic.

Key Terms

• Expires November 30, 2026.
• Minimum transfer is 1,000 Membership Rewards points.
• Redeem for this exclusive offer from 12:00 a.m. MST on 11/2/2026 to 11:59 p.m. MST on 11/30/2026, to receive 30% additional Virgin Points.
• Additional Virgin Points may take up to 72 hours to show in your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account.

Quick Thoughts

You can book economy saver awards between the US and UK from 6K Virgin points (albeit with a decent amount in taxes/fees as well). With this 30% transfer bonus, you’d only need to transfer 5K Membership Rewards points for every person; that would then give you a few Virgin points left over for future redemptions.

One way premium economy awards between the US and UK are available from 10,500 points. That means that if you already have 100 Virgin points in your account, you’d only need to transfer 8K Membership Rewards points in order to have enough points to book a ticket. If you’re more interested in booking Upper Class (i.e. business class) tickets, those can be available on select dates and routes for only 35K points one way (with very high taxes and fees to go along with it). That would only require 27K Amex Membership Rewards transferred with this 30% bonus.

This transfer bonus could also come in handy for other Virgin redemptions like cruises with Virgin Voyages or this all-inclusive stay at Finch Hattons in Kenya. That latter redemption costs 100K points per night with a minimum two-night stay, with that covering the cost of two people. You’d therefore only need to redeem 77K Membership Rewards points per night when transferring them from American Express.

You can also book three nights at Necker Island for two people for 750K Virgin points, with each additional night costing 250K points. That would “only” require 577K Amex points to be transferred, which is, admittedly, a lot, but it could be a worthwhile bucket list redemption for some people who are flush with Membership Rewards points.

Here’s a list of all current and past transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic from all transferable currencies:

The Deal

• Capital One has added Copa Airlines ConnectMiles as a new transfer partner. Miles ordinarily transfer at a ratio of 1,000 Capital One miles to 750 Copa Connect miles (2:1.5). At launch, Capital One is offering a 30% transfer bonus through 11:59pm Eastern Time on 12/1/26.

Key Terms

• Must transfer a minimum of 1,000 miles
• 30% bonus applies through 11:59pm Eastern Time on 12/1/26

Quick Thoughts

Copa appears to be making a push to become more relevant to U.S.-based travelers. Several months back, we saw Copa added as a Rove transfer partner. More recently, Citi added Copa as a ThankYou transfer partner, and now we see Capital One adding Copa. It’s great to see multiple ways to top off your Copa account if you’re interested in transferring to Copa Connect Miles.

Keep in mind that Copa charges no surcharges with partner airlines like ANA, Emirates, Lufthansa, and Swiss. The lack of surcharges on Emirates in particular has a lot of potential, especially because saver business class awards between the US and Dubai (as well as the rest of the Middle East and Africa) theoretically cost 80K miles. That said, availability seems hard to come by, so your mileage may vary. Air France is another Copa partner that could potentially become of interest in the right situations.

Overall, it’s great to see Capital One continue to expand its transfer partner stable, and great to see an additional option for collecting Copa Miles. That said, you’re better off right now with Citi and Rove since transfers from those programs to Copa are 1:1 and Capital One’s ratio is less than 1:1. Even with the 30% transfer bonus, the elevated Capital One ratio is still 1,000 Capital One miles to 975 Copa miles, so a bit less than the 1:1 that you can get any day of the week from Citi or Rove. Capital One could still make sense if you’re particularly flush with Capital One Miles. Otherwise you might look to those other currencies first.

I will say that I’m disappointed to see another airline transfer partnership that is not based on a standard one-to-one transfer ratio. It’s disappointing to see programs continue to move in this complex direction of differing transfer ratios, which feels like it will make partnerships a bit less accessible to newcomers. However, if they can’t make the economics of that work, I suppose this is better than not adding a new transfer partner.

The Deal

• Get a 30% transfer bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Wyndham Rewards.
  • Valid between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026.
  • 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points = 1,300 Wyndham Rewards points during the promotional period.

Key Terms

• Offer is valid for points transfers to Wyndham Rewards completed between 12:00 AM ET on November 1, 2026 and 11:59 PM ET on December 3, 2026.
• Minimum transfer is 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points.
• Wyndham Rewards bonus points will be deposited by Wyndham Rewards into your Wyndham Rewards member account within 7 days after the points transfer is completed.
• Once you have transferred Ultimate Rewards points, they become Wyndham Rewards points subject to the terms and conditions of the Wyndham Rewards program and cannot be transferred back to your Chase Ultimate Rewards Program account.

Quick Thoughts

There are still some appealing uses of Wyndham points, but in most cases, it won’t be a worthy destination for your Ultimate Rewards.

Our Reasonable Redemption Value for Wyndham points is just 0.57c per point. Even with a 30% transfer bonus, an average Wyndham redemption would still yield less than one-cent-per-point value for your Chase points…and you can do far better than that.

We certainly wouldn’t recommend transferring speculatively, but if you have a specific vacation rental in mind or perhaps an all-inclusive in the Caribbean during a busy week, it could make sense. Outside of that, it’s best to wait for better options.

The Deal

• Get a 30% bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to the following Avios programs:
  • British Airways
  • Iberia
  • Aer Lingus

Key Terms

• Expires December 1, 2026.

Quick Thoughts

If you have a good supply of Ultimate Rewards points, getting a 30% bonus on Avios transfers can provide very good value.

Be aware that even though they all use the same rewards currency, British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus price awards differently, both in terms of how many Avios are required and how much you have to pay in taxes and fees.

One of the main sweet spots for Avios award booking is booking short flights, so being able to take advantage of a 30% transfer can make those awards even better value.

Booking flights to/from the UK can also end up being pretty good value, particularly on the UK to US leg. Off-peak economy pricing from New York to London is 25,000 Avios + ~$83 in taxes when booked with BA Avios, so only 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points need to be transferred (or only 19,000 if you already have a few hundred Avios in your account). That’s not amazing, especially compared to the ability to book Virgin Atlantic from only 6,000 points + ~$110 in taxes and fees, but it’s not awful either; with the transfer bonus it’s more akin to Flying Blue Promo Rewards pricing.

As mentioned above, though, it’s the UK to US leg that has more attractive pricing. One-way cash flights from the UK to US tend to be very expensive; it’s usually cheaper to buy a round-trip ticket originating in London than it is to buy a one-way flight. An off-peak one-way economy award flight from London to New York can be booked for 25,000 Avios + $100, though, so only slightly more expensive taxes/fees-wise than the US to UK leg. Why is that more attractive, though? It’s because of the higher taxes and fees you’d pay for an award booking with other programs. With American Airlines AAdvantage miles, you’re looking at ~$210; with Alaska Atmos it’s ~$220; with Virgin Atlantic it’s ~$245. For a family of four, booking with BA Avios would save you ~$600 in taxes and fees over Virgin Atlantic. That’s not to say that 25,000 Avios + $100 is a superb deal, but it can be a convenient one if you want to fly nonstop between the two countries.

Key Terms

• Valid through 11:59pm Eastern time on 11/30/26.

Quick Thoughts

Flying Blue doesn’t have an award chart, so there aren’t sweet spots that you can count on. However, they do offer decent business class pricing to Europe on connecting itineraries if you have some flexibility. And the partnership with the French rail system means that they reach even more destinations than they serve directly.

Flying Blue also has some lesser-known partnerships, such as with Copa Airlines and Aerolineas Argentinas, which could make them pretty useful for those going south. And moving westward, you could book the Air France flight from Los Angeles to Tahiti for fewer miles if you’re able to take advantage of this transfer bonus.

As is typically the case, I probably wouldn’t speculatively transfer to Flying Blue, especially given the lack of an award chart and the fact that the lowest-priced awards can no longer be changed or cancelled and no longer include things like seat selection and lounge access even in business class, but for those who frequently use Flying Blue and/or those who find a useful redemption this could certainly be a nice bump.
