Watch us on YouTube! Delta made some changes to their fare structures that are likely to lead to confusion for some travelers. Richard and Ed are weighing in on those changes. Bilt has added their 20th transfer partner. Japan Airlines is a very useful program to get to Japan and other points in Asia, but has been a difficult program to transfer points to. That changes with this new partnership! A listener shares a heartfelt story about their recovery and some very kind words for the co-hosts. Frontier has rolled out a companion pass benefit after their recent status match, which may lead to more Frontier tales! Newark airport continues to disappoint. Even with softening travel demand, Richard and Ed are recommending you avoid for now. Lastly, Ed has a poll question for viewers and listeners in regards to how many Membership Rewards points he should transfer from AMEX to Hawaiian to send to Alaska Airlines.

114: All About Transfer Bonuses: What They Are and How to Use Them To Get Even More Points

Transfer bonuses are one of the best ways to stretch your points further, and in this episode we're breaking down everything you need to know about them. From understanding how they work to sharing the bonuses we've taken advantage of, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you maximize your rewards and travel more for less. What Are Transfer Bonuses? Pam explains that what transfer bonuses are and how big a difference they can make in your redemptions.  For example, a recent American Express bonus to Virgin Atlantic offered a 40% increase, turning 100,000 Membership Rewards into 140,000 Virgin Atlantic miles.  When to Use Them While transfer bonuses can be tempting, Alex emphasizes the importance of having a plan. Speculative transfers (moving points without a specific booking in mind) can leave you stuck with miles you don't need if your plans change. The takeaway? If you're new to points, only use transfer bonuses when you know you'll use the miles. Stacking Bonuses for Maximum Value Jess shares how stacking transfer bonuses with existing airline or hotel promotions can unlock even more value. And Alex highlights Flying Blue's monthly promo awards and child discount, which allow you to save even more by pairing discounted flights with transfer bonuses. Hotel Transfer Bonuses Jess dives into the hotel side of transfer bonuses, highlighting the best options and the ones that might not be a good deal. Our Favorite Transfer Bonus Wins Each of us shares a recent win: Pam: Transferred 100,000 Amex points to Virgin Atlantic with a 40% bonus, booking a round-trip business class flight to London for just 58,000 miles and $600 in fees. Alex: Used a 20% transfer bonus to Flying Blue to book business class flights to Morocco with her mom and sisters for just 55,000 points each way. Jess: Took advantage of a Capital One transfer bonus to Virgin Red, then Virgin Atlantic, to book a KLM flight for nearly 50% fewer points. Transfer bonuses are an incredible way to maximize your points and miles, but timing and planning are everything. Whether you're saving for a luxury business-class flight or looking to reduce the cost of a family vacation, these promotions can make a big difference. Check out our blog for monthly updates on the latest transfer bonuses, and start planning your next big adventure!   Links: Subscribe to Points Talk Premium: https://pointstalk.supercast.com/ Links For All Things Travel Mom Squad: stan.store/travelmomsquad Transfer Bonuses and Sales on Points & Miles January 2025 - Travel Mom Squad   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:30 – Introduction: What are transfer bonuses? 01:15 – Pam explains how transfer bonuses work 10:30 – When to use (and not use) transfer bonuses 15:00 – Stacking bonuses for flights and hotels 21:30 – Jess's Hilton strategy and hotel transfer tips 27:55 – Favorite transfer bonus wins from Pam, Alex, and Jess 35:00 – Final thoughts on maximizing transfer bonuses

Thinking about diving into points and miles but feeling overwhelmed by annual fees? You're not alone! In this episode, we're breaking down our favorite no-annual-fee credit cards and those with annual fees waived for the first year. These cards are not only budget-friendly but also offer incredible rewards to help you travel more for less. Chase Freedom Flex: A Keeper in Every Wallet Alex kicks off the episode with her top pick, the Chase Freedom Flex. This no-annual-fee card earns Chase Ultimate Rewards points and offers 5% back on rotating categories like PayPal and grocery stores. With a 20,000-point welcome offer after spending just $500, this card can easily cover a one-way flight to Europe. Alex highlights how pairing this with a Chase Sapphire card allows you to transfer points to travel partners, unlocking even more value. Chase Ink Business Cards: Pam's Love Language Pam shares her favorite no-annual-fee business cards, the Chase Ink Cash and Chase Ink Unlimited. These powerhouse cards earn Ultimate Rewards points on categories like office supply stores and internet or offer a flat 1.5% back on every purchase. With a whopping 75,000-point welcome offer (after spending $6,000), these cards are a cornerstone of her strategy for racking up points. Maximizing American Express Options Jess introduces the Amex Blue Business Plus card, a no-annual-fee option that earns 2X Membership Rewards points on every purchase up to $50,000 annually. She also mentions the Hilton Honors card, which comes with no annual fee and Hilton Silver status, unlocking perks like the fifth night free on award stays. For anyone looking to maintain Hilton points without paying a fee, this is a fantastic option. Waived Annual Fees: United and American Airlines Cards The team also highlights cards like the United Explorer and Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select, which waive their annual fees the first year. These cards offer valuable perks like free checked bags, priority boarding, and extra award availability for flights. No-Fee Travel Wins From Alex's PayPal points strategies to Jess's tips on tracking targeted offers, this episode proves that no-annual-fee cards can still pack a punch. Whether you're just starting with points and miles or looking to add another card to your wallet, these recommendations are the perfect way to travel smarter without extra costs.     Links For This Episode:  Chase Freedom Flex℠: https://travelmomsquad.com/cff Chase Freedom Unlimited®: http://travelmomsquad.com/cfu Ink Business Cash® Credit Card: https://travelmomsquad.com/cic Ink Business Unlimited® Credit Card: https://travelmomsquad.com/ciu United℠ Explorer Card: https://travelmomsquad.com/uecp United℠ Business Card: http://travelmomsquad.com/ubc How to Qualify for a Business Card   Links For All Things Travel Mom Squad: stan.store/travelmomsquad   Episode Minute By Minute: 00:30 – Introduction: Why No-Annual-Fee Cards Matter 01:37 – Chase Freedom Flex: Rotating Categories and Welcome Offers 06:00 – Pam's Favorite: Chase Ink Business Cards 16:00 – American Express Options for Hilton and Membership Rewards 23:00 – United Explorer and AAdvantage Platinum Select Benefits 30:00 – Wrapping Up: Maximize Value Without Annual Fees

His first major redemption, staying at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, got him hooked, and he now prefers traveling in business class, especially for international trips. One of his favorite redemptions was flying Virgin Upper Class from JFK to London using Flying Blue miles. He's now looking forward to his upcoming trip to Japan, where he'll experience JAL's first class. Justin's tip of the week is to always work on hitting minimum spending requirements to continue building points, as it's essential to unlock valuable rewards.Links to news discussedChase Ink Unlimited new elevated bonusSAS joining Skyteam, now bookable via Delta and Flying BlueAmerican Airlines switching to dynamic pricing on Fiji AirlinesIHG is back with another airline partnership.

Additionally, they talk about the importance of giving people opportunities through retraining and reskilling, rather than relying solely on credentials while touching on mentorship, promoting diversity, and providing opportunities for all individuals in the workplace.Key takeaways from our conversation with Ken:Opportunity is created by your leadership. Focusing on skills and learning can create transformative opportunities for individuals without college degrees and reduce inequality in the workforce.Mentorship is a two-way street. Both being a good mentor and selecting mentors based on their good judgment can have a profound impact on the mentee's success.Meritocracy can cause blind spots. Diversity and inclusion are not only morally important but are also beneficial for organizations in terms of innovation and resilience. Focusing on a meritocracy alone can lead to bias and favoritism, so acknowledging the importance of diversity is crucial.This episode features a conversation on skills-based hiring, leadership, diversity, and responsible innovation that will enable you to provide better opportunities for your frontline employees.

We Assess the Current State of the Six Largest US Airlines...on today's Milenomics² (No Annual Fee Edition) Podcast 0:24 Premise of the Discussion Everyone's situation is different. Different hometown airport(s), different common destinations, different enthusiasm for taking on points & miles complexity to defray airfare costs, etc. That being the case, there's are no one-size-fits-all solutions in this game That said, there are tendencies and trends that are worth being familiar with as it's useful in informing moves you might make to prepare for future travel In this spirit, we think it's a good time to take a look at the biggest domestic carriers. We'll analyze them both for using their miles to fly their metal, the overall state of their frequent flyer program, their co-branded credit cards, their bank point relationships, how difficult they are to earn, and their overall position in the market. 04:21 American Could be the last remaining legacy carrier where close-in you can still find saver level awards for expensive cash fares, will have to see how this plays out with a supposed move to “fully dynamic” British Airways Avios (and other OneWorld partner awards) can still be a good play, but AA doesn't seem to release much partner award space A good program to generate miles in, but if their utility becomes mostly for partner awards it significantly diminishes the value proposition for me With no bank point transfer partners, it can be tough to generate AA miles. Bilt transfers are possible. Unique in that they partner with both Citi and Barclays, though churnability has become difficult Bottom Line: Still a lot of great partners, favorable partner award charts, and flexible change and cancellation terms. The value proposition with AA increasingly hinges on partner awards. 14:15 Delta Booking with Delta miles provides decent everyday value with flexible cancellation terms. Not a lot of clever angles here when cash prices are high. Issues with cancellations not actually happening. Need to follow up. Wide variety of co-branded Amex cards with probably the best churnability of any carrier due to targeted offers and lenient approval standards 15% discount on award travel if holding one of their Amex Delta cards. 1:1 transfer partner from Membership Rewards which have been one of the easier bank point currencies to generate the past 5 years Booking with 35% Amex Business Platinum rebate even more valuable than transferring (but beware Amex Travel hassles and harder to cancel) SkyClub membership for everyone who carries an Amex Platinum card is a nice perk when flying, though because of this they can be crowded Bottom Line: Weak SkyTeam alliance and expensive international awards make Delta a straightforward value proposition for domestic flights. 23:54 Southwest A wide variety of fun (if complicated) instruments for booking flights. Fun? I think that when things are going well they can be more 'fun' than other airlines to fly with. “Too good to be true” Companion Pass is perhaps the longest running and evidently effective campaigns in the space. In general, connections with Southwest stress their system and make for longer travel than necessary with other carriers Not low cost. Low fee. Antique seating policy makes for trouble for families with children older than their cutoff of 6. 1:1 transfer partner from Chase Ultimate Rewards Wide variety of Chase co-branded cards (but 5/24 constraints can be limiting) Bottom Line: A carrier worth paying attention to if your hometown airport is dominated by Southwest, a carrier rarely flown otherwise 30:15 United Not a lot of angles for booking flights on United metal with United miles. Award chart for domestic flights seems truly dynamic - tied fully to cash price. Don't see a lot saver level space release here either, so angles like booking with Star Alliance carriers are rare Travel Bank has favorable terms, making it one to consider for Amex incidentals. Flexible booking and cancellations with most fares. Bonus points for clearly labeling refundable fares vs. cancellable fares. Bonus points removed for not refunding without tons of interaction. 1:1 transfer partner from Chase Ultimate Rewards Typical assortment of co-branded Chase cards, but 5/24 can be limiting Bottom Line: Star Alliance tie-in (mostly for awards to Europe) keep me interested in earning United miles, but the partner chart has become a bit pricey 39:01 Alaska Award chart domestically for flying Alaska metal with Alaska miles rarely provides outsized value. Welcome bonuses of co-branded credit cards issued by Bank of America (personal and business) have become increasingly generous Still some good values to be had with premium partner awards No 1:1 bank point transfer partner “World Famous” companion pass requires spending more to get more value out of it, and not even half off at the end of the day Bottom Line: Unless you live near an airport well-served by Alaska, it's an airline that's still mostly one to accrue miles rather than fly. But with partner awards no longer offering differentiated value it could be an airline worth mostly ignoring. 47:18 JetBlue Usually just book with bank points or travel bank Has been a good candidate for use of Amex incidentals, but tone deaf tightened expiry of travel bank is industry worst. Partners come and go (Emirates/Etihad for example) and redemptions are so quirky it's as if they don't even know they exist Some opportunities with alliance with AA Nice that they allow family pooling of points, but they haven't yet figured out how to configure a valuable loyalty program Mint is their single trick. Partner awards on Hawiian (need T, Z, or L fare bucket space) Co-branded cards issued by Barclays Quirky 250:200 Amex Membership Rewards transfer ratio Bottom Line: An airline to ignore if they don't serve your airport. An airline that can't be ignored if you live in Boston or near JFK 54:13 Bottom Line Discuss: How can we be rational? Are airline miles dead? Have airlines gone too far in diminishing their outsized value to the point where bank points are better? What's your overall takeaway for yourself, and for family and friends looking for advice? Robert: “Thanks for joining us for this week. For a more in-depth discussion about points miles visit us at patreon.com/milenomics.
