These include 3 of the more desired partner airlines so that is good to see. It has been tougher to find domestic space with partner airlines this year, but hopefully that changes into the fall. Internationally it has been easier to find space though, especially in economy. I wouldn’t transfer anything speculatively because of the struggles to find space but this is a good way to extend the life of some miles. It has worked for me in the past for LifeMiles even though it says in their terms it shouldn’t.
Final Thoughts
There seems to be quite a few more of these transfer bonuses coming this summer than normal. Especially from non Amex lenders like Citi, Capital One and even some from Chase. Transfer bonuses are always good to see and just makes our points more valuable. I think the airlines are pushing it more to get some extra income from these deals.

It’s of my opinion that airline programs are showing the highest redemption amounts to redeem in all decades I’ve participated in these programs.While there are always sweet spots in most programs
I’ve seen KLM charging 900,000 miles one way to Europe from the US in business class!American charging 400k.It’s shocking
So while the bonuses are better than not having anything these partial Ponzi schemes aren’t all that aspirational like they used to be
The old 50k award is now 100k if your lucky
And when you find that 60 k award like BA count on 700 dollars in add on fees one way
KLM frequently has a poor operating website displaying errors
That said hopefully the bonuses works well for some none the less
It is rough out there for sure. Hopefully this fall / winter prices drop back a bit to the norm
I am not seeing the 50% bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy on the Chase site.
It comes from Marriott not Chase, that is why
