March Credit Card and Loyalty Program Transfer Bonuses [Up to 50%!]

It’s a new month, which means a fresh set of transfer bonuses to take advantage of.

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

Here’s everything you need to know!

New Transfer Bonuses for March 2026

Amex Membership Rewards to Avianca Lifemiles

Until March 28, 2026, there’s a 15% transfer bonus from Amex to Lifemiles. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.15.

This transfer bonus is being offered by Lifemiles directly, not by American Express. That means you won’t see the bonus in your Membership Rewards account, but you’ll get the bonus miles within 24 hours of any eligible transfers.

Lifemiles is a great program for Star Alliance awards at fair pricing without hefty fuel surcharges or cash copays when booking premium cabins.

Capital One Miles to Preferred Hotels and Resorts

Through April 1, 2026, there’s a 30% transfer bonus from Capital One to Preferred Hotels and Resorts. The elevated transfer rate is 1:2.6.

Among Capital One’s transfer partners, I Prefer is less known than other programs on the list. However, there are some valuable uses, and we value I Prefer points at 0.5 cents each.

With that said, Capital One isn’t I Prefer’s best transfer partner. You can send Citi ThankYou Points to I Prefer at a 1:4 ratio — double what Capital One offers and still better than the 1:2.6 transfer bonus available right now.

Chase Ultimate Rewards to Aer Lingus, British Airways, and Iberia

Through March 31, 2026, there’s a 20% transfer bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Avios programs. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.2.

There are numerous great ways to maximize this promotion and score some huge value on your upcoming travels.

One such sweet spot — a fan favorite among award travelers — is booking one of the world’s best business class flight, Qatar Airways Qsuite, for as low as 70,000 Avios. The standard price is already a great deal for the flight experience you’ll receive. However, with the 20% bonus, you’ll need to transfer just 59,000 Ultimate Rewards points.

Citi ThankYou to Wyndham Rewards

Through March 21, 2026, there’s a 25% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Rewards to Wyndham Rewards. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.25.

Wyndham Rewards has a simple award chart consisting of just 3 tiers. Award redemptions cost 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per night, depending on the hotel. That said, our average points valuations put Citi ThankYou Points at 1.6 cents each and Wyndham Rewards points at 0.9 cents. Turning 1,000 Citi points (worth $16) into 1,250 Wyndham points (worth $11.25) isn’t a good deal.

Rove Miles to Japan Airlines

Until March 31, 2026, you can transfer Rove Miles to Japan Airlines Mileage Bank with a 50% bonus. The elevated transfer rate is 1:1.5, rather than the typical 1:1 transfer rate.

Mileage Bank is a great program for booking Oneworld partner awards or Japan Airlines‘ own flights in both economy and premium cabins.

Final Thoughts

Earning transferable points is always a great idea, since they’re so flexible when it’s time to book your trip. You can choose to book your hotel or flight through whichever program offers the best deal, then transfer points once you’ve found something you like. Elevated transfer bonuses make transferable rewards even better because you can use fewer points and get even more value out of your next award booking!

That said, remember that transfers can’t be undone, so be sure you have a plan for using points in these rewards programs before moving your credit card points to an airline or hotel’s program. If you change your mind or can’t find the trip you wanted to book, you can’t send the points back.

Remember that transfer bonuses are usually available just for a limited time. Thus, if you’re interested in any of these offers, make sure you take advantage of them before the expiration date.
