Get 30% Bonus Points When You Transfer AMEX Points Into Avios

You can get a 30% bonus for transfers from AMEX to BA, Aer Lingus, or Iberia Avios through 7/15 at 11:59pm MT.

With this bonus, 1,000 AMEX points transfer into 1,300 Avios.

In general, you shouldn’t transfer miles unless you have short-term plans to redeem them for flights.

It can be tricky to book Qatar awards, so read this post first to learn all about Qatar Avios.

You can also transfer BA Avios to Qatar, Finnair, Iberia, or Aer Lingus Avios. You can combine Avios via this link via the BA site here or on the Qatar site here.

Avios aren’t what they used to be. British Airways seems to devalue them every few months, bringing them from first to worst in no time.

You can save with the Qatar award chart or the Finnair award chart, which is the only Avios program that doesn’t charge per leg flown, though both Qatar and Finnair recently devalued their Avios.

You can search for award availability using BA Avios here. Finnair or Qatar should be able to book any award space that you find using BA Avios for fewer Avios, but you may need to call them or chat to book.
