Transfers, explained
- How do points transfers work?
- Flexible bank or financial-rewards points convert into an airline program's own currency at a set ratio — often 1:1, sometimes less. You initiate the transfer from your bank's rewards portal; the points then live in the airline account and can be redeemed for award seats.
- Can I transfer airline points back to my bank?
- No. Transfers are one-way and can't be reversed. That's why the golden rule is to find and (ideally) hold the award seat first, then transfer only the exact number of points you need.
- How long do transfers take?
- It varies by program — some post almost instantly, others take a few hours up to several days. Because of that delay, never transfer speculatively against availability you haven't confirmed is bookable.
- Should I wait for a transfer bonus?
- If you don't have an immediate redemption, often yes. Programs periodically run bonuses (for example +15% to +30%) that boost the points you receive. We only show a bonus once it's officially confirmed.
