Credit card transfer bonuses (March): 50% bonus to JAL, 30% bonus to Wyndham and more

Transfer bonuses can offer lucrative opportunities to help you maximize your points and miles and work your way toward fantastic award redemptions. You can sometimes get significantly more value from your rewards by transferring them to an airline or hotel partner during one of these bonus periods.

Remember, though, that these are limited-time offers — so you'll need to act fast if you find one that suits your travel plans.

We've compiled transfer bonus updates for most major programs with transferable rewards to make tracking these offers easier. Just note that transfer bonuses are sometimes targeted, so some may not be available to you.

Capital One transfer bonuses

Capital One is offering a 30% transfer bonus to Preferred Hotels & Resorts I Prefer. From now through March 31, when you transfer 1,000 Capital One miles to I Prefer, you'll earn 2,600 points, as the regular transfer ratio is 1:2.

I Prefer is an under-the-radar program with multiple independent hotels in its portfolio. If you find a redemption that excites you, this could be a solid bonus to leverage.

How to earn Capital One miles

If you're looking to earn more transferable miles, the following Capital One cards are solid options to consider:

• Capital One Spark Miles for Business: Earn 50,000 bonus miles after spending $4,500 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
• Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card: Earn 75,000 bonus miles after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Plus, upon approval, you'll receive a $250 Capital One Travel credit to use during your first year.

Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer bonuses

Chase is currently offering four transfer bonuses.

Through March 31, you can transfer your Chase points to Aer Lingus AerClub, British Airways Club or Iberia Club with a 20% bonus. All three of these programs use Avios as their currency, so when you transfer 1,000 Chase points, you'll receive 1,200 Avios.

Avios are a versatile currency that can be used to book flights with multiple airlines. If you're planning to book travel with a Oneworld alliance airline soon, this could be a solid bonus to take advantage of.

The next bonus is a 30% transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards, also ending March 31. When you transfer 1,000 Chase points, you'll receive 1,300 Wyndham points.

Chase recently added Wyndham as a transfer partner. However, given that TPG's valuations place Chase points at 2.05 cents apiece and Wyndham points at a mere 1.1 cents per point, this bonus is really only worth it if you have a specific redemption in mind.

As always, it's best to transfer points only when you're ready to book an award, since transfers are irreversible and award availability can change quickly.

How to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points

If you want to earn more Chase Ultimate Rewards points, the following Chase cards could make good additions to your wallet:

• Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees): Earn 75,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
• Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees): Earn 125,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
• Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card (see rates and fees): Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $8,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

Citi ThankYou Rewards transfer bonuses

Citi ThankYou Rewards is offering a 25% transfer bonus to Wyndham Rewards, from now through March 21.

You'll only unlock the bonus in its entirety if you hold the Citi Strata Elite℠ Card (see rates and fees), the Citi Strata Premier® Card (see rates and fees) or the Citi Prestige® Card (no longer available to new applicants). Other Citi cards do not unlock the full 1:1 transfer ratio, so the transfers aren't as valuable.

The information for the Citi Prestige has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

Regarding this bonus, if you unlock the full transfer ratio with an eligible card, 1,000 ThankYou points equals 1,250 Wyndham points. If your card does not unlock a full transfer bonus, 1,000 ThankYou points equals 875 Wyndham points with this bonus.

As mentioned above, TPG's valuations do not value Wyndham points highly, so this bonus is likely only worth it if you need to top off a redemption you already have in mind.

How to earn Citi ThankYou Rewards points

To earn more Citi ThankYou Rewards points, consider these Citi credit cards:

• Citi Strata Elite Card: Earn 75,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening.
• Citi Strata Premier Card: Earn 60,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

TPG values Citi ThankYou Rewards points at 1.9 cents each, per our valuations, and most transfers happen instantly.

Marriott Bonvoy transfer bonuses

Although you can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to various airlines, the program does not currently offer any transfer bonuses from Marriott Bonvoy to airline partners.

How to earn Marriott Bonvoy points

If you're looking to earn Marriott Bonvoy points, the following Marriott cards may be of interest:

• Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card (see rates and fees): Earn two free night awards (valued at up to 50,000 points each) after spending $1,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Certain hotels have resort fees.
• Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card (see rates and fees): Earn five free night awards (valued at up to 50,000 points each) after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Certain hotels have resort fees. Additionally, you can receive up to $100 in statement credits (up to $50 biannually) after spending $500 on eligible airline purchases.
• Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card: Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first six months of card membership.

Rove Miles transfer bonuses

Rove Miles is currently offering a 50% transfer bonus to Japan Airlines Mileage Bank. From now through March 31, when you transfer 1,000 Rove miles to Mileage Bank, you'll earn 1,500 JAL miles, as the regular transfer ratio is 1:1.

Rove Miles recently added JAL to its list of transfer programs, so this current bonus coincides with JAL's introduction as a partner.

Some of the best ways to redeem Japan Airlines miles include:

• Fly to Japan from North America for 27,000 miles in economy, 40,000 miles in premium economy and 55,000 miles in business class each way with reasonable fees, taxes and carrier-imposed surcharges.
• Fly Japan Airlines' fabulous new A350 first-class suite from the U.S. to Japan for 110,000 miles in low season, 125,000 miles in regular season and 140,000 miles in high season each way. (You can check the season dates on JAL's website.)

How to earn Rove miles

We're excited about the new "no credit card required" rewards program, Rove Miles. You can book hotels and flights and shop online through the Rove Miles portal; it allows you to earn incredible amounts of transferable miles, such as up to 54 miles per dollar spent on select hotels.

Rove Miles is rapidly adding transfer partners, including Lufthansa Miles & More, a program that has traditionally been difficult to earn miles in. This opens up the ability to book Lufthansa's incredible first-class product in advance with miles.

If you don't have any Rove miles, you can earn 1,000 miles at no cost right now just by signing up through TPG's offer.

Should you transfer points and miles?

We only recommend transferring points or miles if you have a short-term plan to use them. Transfers are irreversible, and you don't want to be stuck with thousands of points or miles in a program you have little use for.

If you don't have a specific redemption in mind but still want to earn points or miles, you're likely better off earning rewards through card welcome bonuses and everyday spending.

We always recommend verifying award availability before transferring your rewards.

Bottom line

When a program with a transferable currency offers a transfer bonus, it's important to run the numbers to determine whether it is worthwhile.

Generally, you won't want to transfer your points or miles unless you have a specific redemption in mind. After all, a large part of the value of transferable points and miles comes from their flexibility, which you'll give up when you convert them to a partner's currency. However, a transfer bonus can help you get more value from your points and miles if you frequently use a partner program or plan to redeem them soon.
