One of the primary aspects to the credit card rewards game involves the following transferable point currencies: Chase Ultimate Rewards (UR), AmEx Membership Rewards (MR), Citi ThankYou Points (TYP), and Marriott Bonvoy (MB). The best value for these rewards are often found in transferring to airlines. The relationship of each currency to various airlines is summarized in Wings of the Points — UR/MR/TYP/C1/Marriott Points to Miles Transfer Chart.
Some transfers may take more than one day, which can be an issue if there are a limited number of seats available on the flight you want. Sometimes you can see good availability for an award ticket, but when your points are finally converted to miles the availability is gone. To avoid this situation, we provide a summary of known transfer times from each points currency to each airline.
