July 2026 Transfer Bonuses (4 new!)

Flexible miles and points are even more valuable when you transfer them to hotel and airline partners during a transfer bonus period. Here is what July has in store:

New: Capital One 30% Transfer Bonus to EVA Air

Through July 31, 2026, get 30% transfer bonus from Capital One miles to EVA Air Infinity MileageLands miles. The normal transfer ratio is 1000:750, but with this bonus it’s 1000:975.  Note that Citi Strata Elite cardmembers have a 1:1 transfer ratio, so even with this bonus, the ratio isn’t quite as good. I’ve heard great things about EVA Air, and the airline now has a nonstop flight from my home airport (DFW) to Taipei. Business class flights from USA to Asia run 75,000-80,000 miles each way.

New: Amex 30% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic

Through July 31, 2026, get 30% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Note that Chase also has a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic through 7/14/26. You can fly from USA to UK on Economy for as low as 6000 points. In addition, you can use Virgin Atlantic points to book award flights on partners like ANA, Delta and Air France/KLM.

New: Amex 20% Transfer Bonus to Hilton

Through July 14, 2026, get 20% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to Hilton Honors. We’ve seen higher transfer bonuses to Hilton in the past, and this isn’t the best value for your Amex points. But if you need to top of your Hilton account for an award stay, this bonus may help.

New: Rove 25% Transfer Bonus to Frontier Airlines

Rove is an online booking portal where you can earn miles without a credit card. It just launched a new transfer partner, Frontier Airlines. Through July 31, 2026, get 25% bonus from Rove miles to Frontier Airlines.

Continued from last month: Chase 30% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic

Through July 14, 2026, get 30% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. See my comments above under Amex 30% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic.

Continued from last month: Citi 50% Transfer Bonus to ALL Accor

Through July 18, 2026, get 50% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou points to ALL Accor hotels. Each Accor point is with 2.3 cents towards your hotel booking or to erase charges at checkout. Accor has a large international footprint.

Continued from last month: Amex 15% Transfer Bonus to Avianca 

Through July 15, 2026, get 15% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to Avianca LifeMiles. This bonus is offered on the LifeMiles side and therefore won’t be visible in the Amex portal. I’ve used LifeMiles in the past to book awards on partner airlines like United and Air New Zealand.
