Monday News Recap: More Elevated Bonuses, New Transfer Bonuses and More

100k Bonuses on Chase Avios Credit Cards: Last Friday, I wrote about some elevated credit card bonuses. Now, 3 of those cards have even higher welcome bonuses. All 3 of the Chase Avios-earning credit cards now have 100k bonuses after spending $7500 in the first 6 months. See Doctor of Credit for non-affiliate links. I am definitely going to apply for one of these soon, and I’ll let you know the results.

Air France/KLM Flying Blue Card 70k Bonus: The bonus on the Bank of America Air France/KLM Flying Blue card (non-affiliate link) is back up to 70k miles plus 100 Experience Points (XP) after spending $3000 in the first 90 days. Sometimes, if you start to book a flight on the website, you can get an equal offer plus a $100 statement credit included. My husband and I have both had this card, and we used the miles to fly my family of 5 to Europe in business class.

New Citi 25% Transfer Bonus to Leaders Club: Now through 11:59 pm ET on October 19, 2024, get 25% bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou points to Leading Hotels of the World Leaders Club. See this post on Award Wallet for all the details.

New Citi 25% Transfer Bonus to Avianca LifeMiles: Now through 11:59 pm ET on October 19, 2024, get 25% bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou points to Avianca LifeMiles. Avianca is part of Star Alliance network, and you can sometimes find good deals on United domestic award flights.

New Chase 50% Transfer Bonus to Marriott: Now through November 15, 2024, get 50% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott. I only recommend doing this transfer if you need to top off your Marriott Bonvoy account for a specific award.

All 3 of these new transfer bonuses have been added to the September 2024 Transfer Bonuses post.
