Update: This is actually a Qantas transfer bonus and not American Express one. There is also an American Express transfer bonus for another 20% currently until June 30th, 2019.
The Offer
- Some American Express members are being offered a transfer bonus of 15% or 30% when transferring to Qantas. Normally you can transfer 1,000 MR points and receive 1,000 Qantas miles, during this promotion you’ll receive 1,150 or 1,300 miles if you’re targeted (1:1.15 or 1.3).
The Fine Print
- Valid until June 30th, 2019
Our Verdict
Qantas was just added as a transfer partner and it looks like some people were targeted for this offer at the same time. This is obviously the first time we’ve seen a transfer bonus to Qantas. It’s interesting that American Express look to be favoring these YMMV transfer bonuses rather than making them available to everybody. Other current transfer bonuses include:
- [YMMV] American Express Transfer Bonus: 30% To Virgin Atlantic. No end date listed
- [YMMV] American Express Transfer Bonus: 10%-20% To Aeroplan. No end date listed
- American Express Transfer Bonus: 10%-50% To Hilton Honors (1:2.2/3). No end date listed.
- [YMMV] American Express Transfer Bonus: Up To 30% To Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (1:1.3). No end date listed.

Hat tip to Rapid Travel Chai
It’s not an AmEx promo, it’s a Qantas promo. No “American Express members are being offered a transfer bonus”.
I think the Hilton transfer bonus has ended.
Wrong info
