Points transfers and deals

Last updated:

Most bank points move to airline and hotel partners at 1:1. Right now Capital One miles earn 30% more at Virgin Red until Nov 20, Amex points earn 35% more at Marriott until Dec 10, and Capital One's British Airways bonus ends Oct 31.

Transferable points let you move rewards from a bank program to an airline or hotel program, usually at 1:1. The value comes from the award you book, not the transfer itself, so check award space before you move anything. Transfers are normally one-way and cannot be reversed.
