Nice video! Any recommendations for airline transfer partners that fly to Italy? I’m based on the west coast, looking to travel later this year/early next. I have some chase ur points to deploy as well. Hope this trend of transfer bonuses continues.

Can anyone explain this to me? I am confused on transfer points to an airlines and it group (ex: Star Alliance, One World and SkyTeam) I want to transfer point to British Airway and book an American Airline flight, how does it work? Do I go to American Airline's website to book or British Airway's website or their group's website?

I pretty much plan to use my points for regular first class trips to Japan and am thinking of transferring enough MR points to Virgin to pair with the 169,000 Virgin Atlantic points I already have to have enough for 4 first class flights to Japan over the next 4 years. Worst case, they no longer partner with ANA in a couple of years and I use the points to fly to Europe instead.

May have to do this…

Hi Ben, we have been doing the math and it does not make sense to transfer our MR points to an airline. It seems that we're getting less than $0.01 per point. Could you do a video explaining how transferring works and how to calculate the value of the points using an airline as an example?

I think this will really help us understand how to better use our points.

I transferred some points to delta and will be leaving for Belize soon…anyway, it’s a no brainer how to transfer points to an airlines program and then book a reward ticket…but my question is how to you transfer your MR points to an airlines program snd then book with another airline.
In your video you said you can transfer to air cananda and then book star alliance airlines like United.

Their motivation for doing so is because they need a MR sink. Too much people hodLing them for a rainy day and AMex is looking for ways for people to dump it

Get them off the books…the points out there is a liability. Transfer out and transfer out the liability to the partner

I actually have received marketing emails from Amex regarding the transfer bonuses.

Ya I’m leaning towards no one is traveling and everyone is building up points and they would like to reduce the liability of those.
