Converting hotel points to airline miles (and vice versa) often doesn’t make sense. The math changes a bit when there’s a 15% transfer bonus, however.

Right now, you can enjoy 15% extra Flying Blue miles when converting your ALL – Accor Live Limitless points to Flying Blue, boosting the transfer rate from 1:1 to 1.15. Should you send your ALL Reward points to Air France and Flying Blue? Let’s take a look.

ALL Transfer Bonus to Flying Blue

Typically, you can move points from ALL – Accor Live Limitless to Flying Blue at a 1:1 ratio. Note that there’s a 2,000-point transfer minimum, so 2,000 ALL Reward points would become 2,000 miles in your Air France or KLM account.

To be clear, that ratio isn’t the same in reverse: 4,000 Flying Blue miles become just 1,000 ALL Reward points.

Right now, however, the transfer from ALL to Flying Blue has improved by 15%. You can turn 2,000 ALL Reward points into 2,300 Flying Blue miles. This offer is available until November 17, 2024. Unfortunately, the bonus doesn’t apply in the other direction.

To convert points, you’ll have to do it on the Flying Blue website, which is where we first saw the offer. We couldn’t find it on the Accor website at all.

Hot Tip:

Before you can convert ALL Reward points to Flying Blue, you’ll have to link your accounts. You can only link your ALL account to 1 airline at a time, so you’ll have to head to the Accor website and unlink any other airline from your account (if applicable) before you can take advantage of this offer.

Is It Worth It?

ALL Reward points are worth a flat amount. Redeeming 2,000 points always knocks 40€ (roughly $43) off your bill, making each ALL Reward point worth about 2.15 cents.

Conversely, we value Flying Blue miles at 1.3 cents apiece. Should you turn 2.15 cents into 1.3 cents? No.

With the 15% transfer bonus from ALL to Flying Blue, however, the math shifts. You’ll turn 2.15 cents into 1.5 cents. That’s still a decrease in overall value, but there are other elements to consider.

Redeeming ALL Reward points always happens at a fixed value, but that’s not true when redeeming Flying Blue miles. It’s easily possible to get more than 2.15 cents (the fixed value of ALL Reward points) apiece from your Flying Blue miles when booking flights. You also can use this to boost your Flying Blue account for an upcoming redemption if you’re a bit short.

Unless you’re redeeming your Flying Blue miles above 2.15 cents each, you’re better off leaving the points in your ALL account and not converting them.

Final Thoughts

Through November 17, you can turn 2,000 ALL Reward points into 2,300 Flying Blue miles, thanks to a 15% transfer bonus. The offer isn’t available in reverse, and this transfer won’t make sense for everyone. If it does, this can be a good time to transfer your hotel points into airline miles for an upcoming redemption.
