INSIGHT

Outsized Value from Transfers

Transferring credit card points to airline or hotel programs can net values far above the usual 1 cent per point.
For premium flights or hotels, values of 4 to 5 cents per point or more are attainable via transfers.

ADVICE

Start Small to Gain Confidence

Start small by searching and booking low-cost partner awards like Delta flights through Virgin Atlantic.
This builds confidence to explore more complex and valuable transfer opportunities later.

INSIGHT

Transfer Points Beyond Airline Loyalty

You often transfer points to a program without intending to fly that airline directly.
Many partner programs let you book flights on entirely different airlines, unlocking better availability and pricing.
