Key Considerations Before Transferring Points

Transfer bonuses are a powerful way to extract more value from your points, but they are best used when you have a specific redemption in mind. Before transferring:

• Confirm award availability with the partner airline or hotel.
• Compare cash prices to ensure you’re getting good value.
• Check transfer timelines. Most are instant, but not all.
• Remember transfers are final. You cannot reverse them once completed.

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Transferring

• Do I have a specific trip or redemption I want to book soon?
• Do I already have a balance in the partner program, or do I need to start from zero?
• Am I flexible with travel dates or airports in case the exact award I want is unavailable?
