Overview of Transferable Points Programs<\/span><\/h2>\n
Transferable points are the easiest way to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to award travel. And there are numerous rewards programs that you can use to make it happen. Let's take a look at each of them.<\/p>\n
American Express Membership Rewards<\/span><\/h3>\n
American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> are a fan-favorite for many reasons. First, they're flexible points that can be transferred to 17 different airline partners and three hotel partners<\/a>. It's also easy to earn Membership Rewards through a variety of cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Plus, you can boost your rewards through your regular spending by going through the Rakuten shopping portal<\/a> and cashing out your earnings as Membership Rewards.<\/p>\n

Barclaycard<\/span><\/h3>\n
Often overlooked because these transfers are available on just one card and the fact that card isn't available to new applicants, it's worth mentioning transfers from the Barclaycard Arrival Plus\u00ae<\/sup> World Elite Mastercard\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>. Transfer ratios vary, but the eight airline transfer partners include several programs that receive points from nearly every rewards currency on this list, as well as unique partners like InterMiles and Japan Airlines.<\/p>\n
Bilt Rewards<\/span><\/h3>\n
Bilt Rewards Points are earned through a variety of activities, including paying your rent through the Bilt program<\/a> (up to 100,000 points in a calendar year)>\u00a0and Rent Day promotions<\/a> on the first of each month.
