What this Tab covers

Business and premium-economy award seats, cheap long-haul economy awards, transfer bonuses and mistake fares from the thirteen largest US gateways, with the exact program and transfer path to book, and the route first in the title.

Why it matters

One business-class seat booked for 60,000 points instead of a $3,000 cash fare covers 25 years of membership, and the seats that make that possible last a few hours.

Who it is for

  • Anyone with a points balance at Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi or Bilt, or miles with a US airline, which is most members with a rewards card.

  • One Mile at a Time reported on November 1, 2026 that Capital One is offering a 20% bonus on miles transferred to Air France-KLM Flying Blue from 12 a.m. ET November 1 through 11:59 p.m. ET November 30, 2026. The standard ratio is 1:1, so 1,000 Capital One miles become 1,200 Flying Blue miles during the offer. One Mile at a Time says Capital One transfers to Flying Blue are generally instant, and the bonus posts at the same time as the standard miles. The Points Party and InsideFlyer also list the offer with the same November 30 end date. Transfers can't be reversed, so price the award seat in Flying Blue before moving miles.

  • American Airlines' AAdvantage award sale offered flights from 8,000 miles one way for reservations made November 9 through 11:59 p.m. CT on November 11, 2026.

Starting prices were 8,000 miles within the contiguous 48 states and to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, 7,000 between Chicago and the contiguous 48 states, 12,000 to South America, 22,500 to Europe, the Middle East and India, and 25,000 to Asia and the South Pacific.

  • One Mile at a Time and The Points Party reported on November 4, 2026 that Turkish Airlines is giving 40% extra miles on Citi ThankYou points converted to Miles&Smiles from November 1 through November 30, 2026. The normal ratio is 1:1 in 1,000-point steps, so 1,000 Citi points become 1,400 Miles&Smiles miles during the offer. Bonus miles are capped at 50,000, earn no Status Miles, and are credited only after the campaign ends at 11:59 p.m. Turkiye time on November 30. One Mile at a Time cites a one-way saver business class award from the U.S. to Istanbul at 65,000 miles, or about 47,000 Citi points with the bonus. Turkish's own campaign page still showed the August 2026 version of these terms during this check, so confirm in your Citi account before transferring.

NerdWallet's transfer bonus tracker, updated November 2, also lists Chase Ultimate Rewards bonuses of 30% to British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus Avios through December 1, 2026.
