How to stretch your rewards with transfer bonuses

Credit card transfer bonuses are promotions that incentivize you to convert your bank points into airline miles and hotel points. These promotions can help you squeeze considerably more travel out of your credit card rewards.

You’ll typically receive between 15% and 40% more rewards than usual during a transfer bonus. For example, Capital One miles normally transfer to Avianca LifeMiles at a 1:1 ratio — but during a 20% transfer bonus, the conversion rate improves to 1:1.2. That means you’ll get 1,200 Avianca LifeMiles for every 1,000 Capital One miles you transfer.

You’ll likely see plenty of transfer bonuses for airline programs you’re not a member of or familiar with, but you might find some surprises. With a bit of algorithmic wizardry, PointsYeah will help you to use these promotions to save points on your upcoming flights.

How to spot credit card transfer bonuses

Credit card transfer bonuses come and go with little notice — and only a handful of airline and hotel loyalty programs are eligible for a bonus at any given time. This makes staying updated on current transfer bonuses a bit challenging for the average user.

The good thing for you is -> you’re a PointsYeah user.

There are two ways you can stay informed about valuable transfer bonuses with PointsYeah:

Bookmark this page. We keep the above chart updated just for you.
Search for flights through PointsYeah. The search result card will show you whenever there’s a transfer bonus and even calculate the number of points required, factoring in the bonus.

One final option is to check directly with the bank or airline’s website. Depending on who funds the promotion, the bank or the airline, is where you will find the information. If you don’t see the transfer bonus on your bank transfer portal, it is likely one you would see the T&C on the airline site, while still transferring through the bank portal.

Pretty simple, Yeah?

Credit card transfer bonuses are automatic. Just transfer your bank points to participating airline or hotel loyalty programs during a transfer bonus, and you’ll automatically get extra rewards.

Remember to bookmark this page to keep on top of current transfer bonuses. And if you want to learn more ways to stretch your points and miles, sign-up for the PointsYeah newsletter. More tips = more trips!

Product spotlight: Flights Live Search
Whether this is your first day on PointsYeah or you joined us back in June 2023 when we launched, there is a good chance that you have used our most popular product, our Flights Live Search. This article is built to show you how to navigate the product like an expert. We will start with the most basic features and work our way towards “PointsYeah Expert Mode“, which includes settings and filters suggested by our power users.

Flights Live Search 101

We built this product with all of our users in mind, with speed and simplicity for basic searches combined with best in class filtering and customization for the most advanced needs.

Every search starts with the basics.
- Origin airport
- Destination airport
- Departure dates
If you are using a free account, you can pick 1 origin and 1 destination across 4 departure dates. Our paid members get access to 2 origin and 2 destination airports across 8 departure dates.

Once you are ready, press the YEAH button and our lightning fast search will bring you the results in approximately 20 seconds or less. All of those dates you searched will be displayed across the top, with the lowest priced award ticket shown by day.

Now that you have your dates and route picked, its time to start filtering.

Filters & Sort

We pride ourselves in our customization, knowing that all of our users have unique needs for their travels.

Some of our most popular filters
- Cabins, built for both those who prefer to stretch their points further in economy and those who prefer to stretch their legs in business class.

Congrats, you have found a flight that fits all your criteria! Now what?

The down arrow next to the flight will expand details around the journey, including the layover time, the aircraft types and relevant change/cancellation fees.

Expand further, and you will see the complete list of ways to book this flight.

Is it your first time transferring points or you need more information on how to transfer points to a specific program? Check out our comprehensive transfer guide.

If you dont have enough points, check out our “Buy points” section to get linked out directly to the loyalty program site where you can add to your account.

Cant find a flight that matches your criteria? Make sure to set a price point alert, our game changing tool aimed to continuously search based on your needs. Free members have 4 Price Point Alerts while our premium members have 32!

Cash fares

Today, users have the ability to compare the cash price of a ticket to the award price in real time. We currently only offer this feature on routes where the loyalty program for booking the award matches the operating carrier of the flight, like this American Airlines example below.

Search preferences

Once you have used the live search a few times, you should be comfortable with how you want to see your search results. Take the next step and save your search preferences in your account. This way, every live search you perform after this will be customized to your needs from the start.

Thats it! You are now ready to search for flights like an expert. Have any feedback, shoot us a note at yeah@pointsyeah.com
