Every transfer partner from every major US card

38 destination programs across 29 airlines and 9hotel chains. Ratios, live transfer bonuses, and a direct link to each program's booking site. Updated when partners or bonuses change.

Each row is a destination program. Each column is one of the five flexible currencies you can earn from cards. A cell shows the transfer ratio (1:1 means 1,000 points becomes 1,000 partner miles). When you see a bonus pill, the issuer is running a live promotion that pushes the effective ratio above the headline.

Pulling from the same dataset that drives the Radar calculator. The ratios here are the ones we use to score your actual balances.

What the symbols mean

1:1
Even transfer. 1,000 issuer points convert to 1,000 partner miles. Most common.
5:4
Haircut. You give up 20% of value on transfer. Almost always worth waiting for a bonus instead.
1:2
Bonus ratio (hotels only). Looks generous but reflects the chain's point inflation, not real value.
+20%
Live transfer bonus running this month. The effective ratio is boosted; see the program's own page for the dates and math.
No transfer path from that issuer.
