This isn't the first time this year we've seen a 50% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy. This promotion started in August, and it's ending soon: September 30, 2023. Marriott Bonvoy is one of the less valuable Chase transfer partners, so this isn't a great deal in comparison to other uses of your Chase points. However, you might want to take advantage of it for the right situation. Here's when it could make sense.

Now through October 3, 2023, you can buy Virgin Points with up to a 70% bonus. When maximized, you can 340,000 Virgin Atlantic Points for just 1.48¢ each. When you combine this with Virgin Atlantic's sweet spots — from domestic Delta economy to ANA first class — this can present a fantastic opportunity to save.

For the second time ever, Virgin Australia Velocity is offering members a discount on points! From now until October 5, 2023, Velocity members can get a 25% discount on points purchases. If you maximize this promotion, you can grab Virgin Velocity points for as little as 1.13¢ each, but you'll need to act quickly if you want them.

Spirit Airlines is offering up to 60% bonus points when you buy Free Spirit points through October 13, 2023. This brings the price of each point down to 1.68¢ each. But for a budget airline, does it make sense to buy points to redeem for flights that are already cheap? The answer might surprise you.

American Airlines’ ongoing buy miles promotion lets AAdvantage members grab miles with up to a 35% discount. The lowest purchase rate through this promotion is a pretty miserable 2.45¢ per mile. However, let's look at a few times when it can make sense to buy points at this rate.

Air France/KLM Flying Blue just announced a new 15% transfer bonus through October 1, 2023. Members transferring Accor Live Limitless points to Flying Blue will receive a 15% bonus. Accor already offers one of the best transfer rates we've seen from a hotel program to an airline mileage program. However, Accor points are some of the most valuable hotel points around. So, when does it make sense to transfer?

Chase has a 30% transfer bonus from Ultimate Rewards to British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia Avios, but it's ending soon. This is an incredible opportunity to save a significant number of points on your next redemption. In this post, we show you how to take advantage of this bonus and some of the best uses.

Emirates just launched a new promotion to buy Skywards miles, offering up to a 30% bonus on purchases through September 29, 2023. You can buy Skywards miles for as low as 2.3¢ per mile, which is a pretty crummy rate. So does it ever make sense to jump on this promotion? Let's consider the details.

Alaska Airlines just launched a new promotion to buy miles, offering Mileage Plan members the chance to earn up to 50% bonus miles. Members who maximize this sale will be able to purchase Alaska Mileage Plan miles for 1.97¢ apiece. This sale could make sense in the right situation, so let's check out a few times when it does.

Citi ThankYou just launched a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

From 6k-point domestic awards on Delta to 27k-point ANA business class awards to Japan, here are some examples of the incredible value that unlocks.
