Episode Description

Is it a good idea to speculatively transfer points from a credit card account to an airline account? This is a particularly relevant question this week because three of the major transferable points currencies (Amex, Chase, and Capital One) are currently offering transfer bonuses when you move points from your credit card accounts to specific airline transfer partners for a limited time.

Transfer bonuses offer a unique opportunity to get even more value from your points. However, whether or not it’s really a good idea to speculatively transfer your flexible points to take advantage of a bonus is a subjective matter that you need to seriously consider before committing.

Tune in this week to discover whether it’s a good idea to speculatively transfer your flexible points to take advantage of bonuses. I’m sharing the specific offers that are on the market as of July 2023, and I’m showing you the risks you need to consider when trying to maximize the potential value of your transferable points.
