If you’re an American Express (Amex) Membership Rewards points holder, you’re in for a treat! Right now, Amex is offering a fantastic 30% bonus when transferring points to British Airways Avios, Aer Lingus AerClub, and Iberia Plus. This is a golden opportunity to maximize the value of your points and make your travel dreams more attainable. Here’s everything you need to know about this exciting offer.

Avios can be transferred between BA, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and Qatar at a 1:1 Ratio so this deal can be used for Qatar deals as well!

The Transfer Bonus Breakdown

For a limited time, Amex is giving you an extra 30% on every point you transfer to British Airways Avios, Aer Lingus AerClub, and Iberia Plus. This means that for every 1,000 Membership Rewards points you transfer, you’ll receive 1,300 points in the respective frequent flyer programs. Essentially, this bonus amplifies the value of your points and allows you to accumulate more miles for your travels.

How to Take Advantage of the Bonus

Check Your Points Balance: Log into your Amex Membership Rewards account and review your points balance to determine how many points you’d like to transfer.

Plan Ahead: Check availability and redemption options with your chosen airline or frequent flyer program before transferring points to ensure you’re points aren’t getting stuck with the airline, since once you transfer the points over, theres no going back!

Transfer Points: Go to the “Transfer Points” section in your Amex account. Select British Airways, Aer Lingus, or Iberia Plus as your transfer partner.

Enjoy the Bonus: Once the transfer is completed, you’ll see the additional 30% bonus points reflected in your frequent flyer account.

Once you have the miles in your Avios account, you can transfer them at a 1:1 ratio to Qatar.

Here is the partner award chart for flying domestic in the USA:

9,500 Economy, 20,000 Busines
13,000 Economy, 27,000 Business
14,500 Economy, 34,000 Business
16,000 Economy, 43,000 Business

There are many ways to use Qatar Avios but let me give you a couple of good examples.

JFK-LAX Direct (American Airlines) for 16,000 Avios in Economy, which would only be 13,000 Amex Miles with the transfer bonus! (It’s really a drop less than 13,000 but Amex only lets you transfer in increments of 1,000 so you would need to transfer 13,000, unless you have a few miles sitting around your Qatar account.)

JFK-MIA Direct (JetBlue) for 8,500 Avios in Economy, which would only be 7,000 Amex Miles with the transfer bonus! (It’s really a drop less than 7,000 but Amex only lets you transfer in increments of 1,000 so you would need to transfer 7,000, unless you have a few miles sitting around your Qatar account.)

After all said and done, even though Qatar keeps devaluing there award prices, there are still some good redemptions values out there such as these above, and many more!
