May 2026 Transfer Bonuses (5 new!)

I can’t believe it’s May already! The next few weeks are a bit crazy for my family with end of year school performances, my son’s high school graduation, and two international trips right after that. Let’s do this!

Reminder: I don’t recommend transferring points until/unless you see the award availability you need now.

Chase 20% Transfer Bonus to Air France/KLM Flying Blue

From May 1 through 11:59 PM ET on May 27, 2026, get 20% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France/KLM Flying Blue. I’ve used Flying Blue miles in the past to book flights to/from Europe on Air France and KLM. But I’ve also used Flying Blue miles to fly to and from Asia on partner airlines. Very useful!

Chase 65% Transfer Bonus to Marriott Bonvoy (Early Bird Offer)

From May 1 through 11:59 PM ET on May 15, 2026., get 65% transfer bonus from Chase to Marriott Bonvoy. Then, from May 16 through 11:59 PM ET on June 30, 2026, get 55% transfer bonus. This bonus is higher than what we usually see from Chase to Marriott. However, transferring from Chase to Hyatt is more valuable, in my opinion, due to award pricing structure.

Amex 10% Transfer Bonus to JetBlue

This is a 1-week transfer bonus. From May 4, 2026 through May 11, 2026, get 10% transfer bonus from American Express to JetBlue TrueBlue. Note that the regular transfer ratio from Amex to JetBlue isn’t 1:1, it’s 250:200. So even with the transfer bonus, you’re getting less than a 1:1 transfer ratio.

Amex 20% Transfer Bonus to Hilton

Through May 30, 2026, get 20% transfer bonus from American Express to Hilton Honors. Hilton award stays cost a lot of points, so this usually isn’t a great value for your Amex points.

Capital One 20% Transfer Bonus to Qantas

Through 11:59 PM ET on May 31 2026, get 20% transfer bonus from Capital One to Qantas. I’ve never booked an award flight using Qantas points, although I’ve flown on Qantas using partner airline points. Qantas can be cheaper on some AA domestic award flights.

Continued from last month: CITI 25% TRANSFER BONUS TO LHW

Between April 19 and May 16, 2026, get 25% bonus when converting Citi ThankYou points to Leading Hotels of the World program. See this post on Loyalty Lobby for more details.
