We’re going to keep it short and sweet today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Chase has a 20% transfer bonus to British Airways, Ibera, and Aer Lingus Avios<\/a> through March, making the transfer ratio 1:1.2. Because you can transfer Avios between airlines too, this is effectively a transfer bonus for Qatar, FinnAir, and Vueling.

    There’s a small issue on the redemption side:     Qatar flights aren’t flying<\/a> at the moment. For that matter, neither are non Avios airline Emirates<\/a> flights as of this writing.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Capital One has a 30% transfer bonus to Preferred Hotels I Prefer<\/a> through April 1, making the transfer ratio 1:2.6.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. AirFrance \/ KLM FlyingBlue has March promo rewards for travel booked in March<\/a> and flown by August 31. The list of promo reward US cities is huge, which should tell you something about US European summer travel demand. Those cities are: Orlando, Seattle, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Portland, San Diego, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Atlanta.

    I searched each of these cities for business class availability and found only a single business class seat at low level during the promo period, which should also tell you something about European summer travel demand. This makes the transfer ratio nearly 1:0.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Staples stores have fee-free Mastercard gift cards through Saturday<\/a>, “limit nine per customer” which practically speaking means limit nine per transaction as long as you’re a schmoozer. Fan favorite golden liquidation Costco is a popular outlet for these.

    These are Pathward \/ BlackHawk Network gift cards.

    Have a nice Monday friends!<\/p>\n\n\n
