Current Credit Card Transfer Bonuses (April 2025)

This guide tracks all current credit card transfer bonuses across major flexible points programs. Transfer bonuses are one of the best ways to maximize your points, as they can provide significantly more airline miles or hotel points during promotional periods. For example, a 30% transfer bonus means 100,000 credit card points would become 130,000 airline miles instead of the standard 100,000 – effectively giving you 30,000 free miles just by timing your transfer strategically.

These bonuses can substantially reduce the number of points needed for awards. A business class ticket that normally costs 100,000 miles would require only 77,000 credit card points during a 30% transfer bonus promotion. When combined with sweet spot award redemptions, transfer bonuses can help you book premium cabin flights and luxury hotel stays for significantly fewer points.

Programs covered in this guide:

• American Express Membership Rewards
• Chase Ultimate Rewards
• Capital One Miles
• Citi ThankYou Points

Each transfer bonus listing includes the bonus percentage, end date, standard transfer ratio, and ratio with the bonus applied. For strategies on maximizing transfer bonuses and step-by-step transfer instructions, see our complete guide on how to transfer credit card points to transfer partners.

Key Takeaways

Transfer bonuses are one of the most effective ways to maximize your credit card points. Here are the key points to remember when leveraging these promotions:

• Always have a redemption in mind and confirm award availability before transferring, as point transfers are irreversible.
• Transfer bonuses can significantly boost your points value, effectively discounting award travel.
• Most transfer bonuses are announced with little advance notice and run for limited time periods.
• Some programs offer transfer bonuses multiple times per year to the same partners.
• Multiple programs sometimes offer bonuses to the same partner simultaneously – always compare rates across programs before transferring.
• Transfer times vary significantly by program – check expected transfer times before making time-sensitive bookings.
