It’s a new month once again … and with a new month comes a new round of transfer bonuses to take advantage of.

Today, we’ll dive into all of this month’s newest transfer bonuses for the top transferable rewards programs so you can get the absolute most out of your hard-earned points and miles.

Here’s everything you need to know!

New Transfer Bonuses for April 2024

American Express Membership Rewards to Avianca LifeMiles

Through March 15, 2024, you’ll receive a 15% bonus when transferring points from Amex Membership Rewards to Avianca LifeMiles. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.1.5.

The 15% bonus will appear after you transfer your Amex points to Avianca, as this promotion is offered from the airline’s end. Avianca LifeMiles can help you book Star Alliance flights for cheaper, including New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) in Lufthansa first class for 87,000 LifeMiles and more.

American Express Membership Rewards or Citi ThankYou Rewards to Cathay Pacific

Through March 31, 2024, you’ll receive a 10% bonus when transferring points from Amex Membership Rewards or Citi ThankYou Rewards to Cathay Pacific. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.1.

It’s important to note that to qualify for the 10% transfer bonus, you must register in advance.

Unlike other transfer bonuses, the bonus miles aren’t automatically applied to your account and the airline says it can take up to 10 weeks after the promotion concludes for the bonus miles to post.

American Express Membership Rewards to Etihad Guest

Through April 4, 2024, you’ll receive a 20% bonus when transferring points from Amex Membership Rewards to Etihad Guest. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.2.

Etihad miles are great for booking premium cabin tickets aboard Etihads own metal, including the top-notch Etihad Apartments.

Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France-KLM Flying Blue

Through April 30, 2024, you’ll receive a 25% bonus when transferring points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air France-KLM Flying Blue. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.2.5.

Flying Blue has some of the best business class award flights to Europe starting at 55,000 points (so 44,000 points with the transfer bonus), as well as reasonably priced economy tickets.

Citi ThankYou Rewards to Avianca LifeMiles

Through April 13, 2024, you’ll receive a 30% bonus when transferring points from Citi ThankYou Rewards to Avianca LifeMiles. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.3.

Avianca LifeMiles are useful for Star Alliance business class redemptions, including Lufthansa’s prized first class route between New York (JFK) and Frankfurt (FRA) for 87,000 LifeMiles.

Final Thoughts

Earning transferable points is always a great idea since they’re so flexible when it comes time to book your trip. Also, transfer bonuses make transferable rewards even better because you’ll be able to use fewer points and get even more value out of your next award booking!

Remember that transfer bonuses are typically only around for a limited time, so if you’re interested in any of these offers, make sure you take advantage of them before the expiration date.
