October 2024 Transfer Bonuses

It’s a new month with several new transfer bonuses!

New: Citi 30% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic

From now through November 16, 2024, get 30% bonus when transferring Citi ThankYou points to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Keep in mind that Chase is currently running a 40% transfer bonus (see below). Starting in November, Virgin Atlantic is moving to dynamic award pricing. So, peak travel award flights will most likely cost more.

New: Citi 20% Transfer Bonus to Wyndham Rewards

From now through November 16, 2024, get 20% bonus when transferring Citi ThankYou points to Wyndham Rewards.

New: Amex 20% Transfer Bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue

From now through November 11, 2024, get 20% bonus when transferring American Express Membership Rewards points to Air France/KLM Flying Blue. I’ve flown on both Air France and KLM between USA and Europe on Flying Blue miles.

New: Chase 40% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic

From now through 11:59PM EST on November 30 2024, get 40% bonus when transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic. This is the highest transfer bonus we’ve seen from Chase to Virgin Atlantic. Starting in November, Virgin Atlantic is moving to dynamic award pricing. So, peak travel award flights will most likely cost more.

New: Chase 30% Transfer Bonus to Avios

Last month, American Express offered a 30% transfer bonus to Avios. Now, it’s Chase’s turn. Get 30% more when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways Avios, Aer Lingus Avios and Iberia Plus Avios. Offer expires October 31, 2024. My family has used Avios to book Business Class and Premium Economy from DFW to Madrid on Iberia.

New: Marriott Bonvoy 15% Transfer Bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan

From now through October 31, 2024, get 15% transfer bonus when you convert Marriott Bonvoy points to Air Canada Aeroplan. The normal transfer rate is 3:1. Minimum transfer is 3000 points. If you’re swimming in Marriott points, this may be a good idea.

New: Citi Up to 40% Transfer Bonus to Etihad Guest

Etihad is offering a transfer bonus from several of its partners of up to 40%, depending on the amount you transfer. While many of the partner banks are international, Citi is included. See this link for all the details. Offer ends October 31, 2024.

New: Hotel Points Up to 30% Transfer Bonus to United

United currently has a promotion through October 31, 2024, where you can get up to 30% bonus by transferring from different hotel brands to United. You must register for the promotion here. There are a lot of caveats to this promotion. See this post on Frequent Miler for more details.
