How to Maximize Points with Transfer Bonuses (2X Travel Rewards)
00:00:00.000 | One way to get extra points without having to spend money
00:00:03.160 | is to transfer your points during a transfer bonus.
00:00:06.300 | I don't like the idea of locking your points
00:00:08.960 | into one airline when they otherwise could have been flexible
00:00:13.520 | because airlines are devaluing their miles all the time.
00:00:17.160 | However, in some cases, I find that it's worth it.
00:00:20.280 | When Bilt had a 100% transfer bonus to Aeroplan,
00:00:24.320 | I transferred a ton of my Bilt points over to Aeroplan
00:00:28.080 | because I could turn 100,000 Bilt points
00:00:30.240 | into 200,000 Aeroplan.
00:00:31.920 | And so that to me was absolutely worth it.
00:00:34.400 | I felt reasonably confident given that Aeroplan,
00:00:37.440 | I think has more airline partners
00:00:39.320 | than any airline in the world,
00:00:41.000 | that I would be able to get good value.
00:00:43.080 | And even if those awards went up 50% in cost,
00:00:46.580 | I'd still come out ahead.
