New information has been added to the post.
A year ago, American Express launched a record number of transfer bonuses from MembershipRewards to various airlines and hotels.
Another huge set of transfer bonuses was brought back by Amex. Today is the last day of many of these. Time is running out for you to transfer membership rewards points from your American Express card to book a trip.
Amex has transfer bonuses for hotels and airlines. The current transfer bonuses are between 15% and 30%.
Excellent redemption options for flights and hotel stays can be unlocked with the use of transfer bonuses. Transfer bonuses aren't the highest we've ever seen for many of these partners. We don't recommend speculatively transferring membership rewards to airlines or hotels.
If you want to transfer and book a high- value award, these transfer bonuses may be the catalyst you need. The majority of these will go away at midnight. The time is Mountain Time.
Let's look at some of the best ways to maximize American Express Membership rewards transfer bonuses.
If you sign up for the daily newsletter, you will get the latest points, miles and travel news.
Transfer bonuses can be used to fly for less points on American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and United Airlines.

For as little as 6,000 Amex Membership rewards points, you can use the 25%Avios transfer bonus to book domestic flights. British Airways has a distance-based award chart that shows how much it costs to fly domestic up to 651 miles. During this bonus, you can transfer 6,000 Membership rewards points.
You can only transfer MembershipRewards points toAvios in the amount of 1,000 during this promotion.
British Airways has a system for booking award flights.
United domestic award tickets can be booked with Avianca Lifemiles. During this 15% transfer bonus, LifeMiles can be transferred for 8,050 LifeMiles, which is one-way for an inter region flight. Some routes have cheaper awards than this one.
It costs more miles to fly longer. You pay LifeMiles to fly from Los Angeles to New York. This is a small amount of membership rewards points.
If you want to know which transfer partner is best for your flight, play around with your dates. You could save a lot of money if you use it.
There are many ways to use Amex Membership rewards points.
On off-peak dates from select hubs on the eastern side of the U.S., you can book an Iberia business-class journey to Spain for just 34,000 IberiaAvios.
This redemption is usually an incredible deal, but the 25% bonus lowers this to a mere 28,000 Membership Reward points transferred to British Airways. You can transferAvios from British aways to Iberia.
Most of the year is off-peak. You can find a list of peak and off-peak dates on the website of the airline.
You can fly business class to Europe from 34,000 flights.
Delta One suites are a great way to travel to Europe. It stacks up well against international business-class products and is consistently better than what other airlines offer. Some suites equipped Delta jets have sliding doors for extra privacy.
Delta One awards can be booked through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Virgin points are charged for a nonstop business class flight from anywhere in the US to Europe. With the 30% transfer bonus, this drops to 39,000 Membership rewards points.
All Delta award tickets can be booked on the Virgin Atlantic website. Search for your flights and transfer points.
There is a way to save thousands of miles on Delta One awards.
One of the most flexible round-the-world booking is offered by Aeromexico Club premier. The economy- or business-class round-the-world ticket costs 224,000 or 352,000 kilometers.
The 20% bonus increases the transfer ratio to a 1:1.92 ratio. The price of a round-the-world ticket has been lowered to 117,000 Membership Reward points in economy and 184,000 in business class. It is your responsibility to pay taxes and other surcharges.
The tickets can have up to 15 stops and must start and end in the same country. These rules can be used to build out some really great itineraries.
Booking these tickets is difficult. If you want to find award space, you have to use SkyTeam or ExpertFlyer. You have to call Aeromexico. If you want to transfer your points, we recommend getting the itinerary figured out over the phone.
There's a reason I prefer membership rewards over ultimate rewards.
If you mix this transfer bonus with the right hotels, you'll get great value.
10,000 MembershipRewards is equivalent to 20,000HiltonHonors points without the transfer bonus You can transfer with a 30% bonus and it's a 1: 2.6 ratio. Transferring 10,000 Membership rewards points will give you 26,000 points.
There are a number of great redemptions that can be opened by this transfer bonus. Prices change by property and the date of your stay. You can get a good deal if you can find reasonably priced redemptions at high cost properties.
After tax, this five-night stay at the Conrad is costing $5,890. You can get 185,000 Membership rewards points with a 30% bonus if you book on the same dates. The Amex valuation of 2 cents per point is much lower than this one.
Before your next stay, do the math and see if it makes sense for you to transfer membership rewards points to the hotel of your choice. It can be a good way to save money on your next vacation if you use a redemption.
There are 8 ways to maximize the redemptions of the hotel rewards program.
There are many opportunities to redeem fewer points for more travel with American Express. Combining existing sweet spots with the transfer bonus will give you a better deal.
If you haven't finalized your plans yet, today is the day to do it.
