If you aren't in a big rush, you could consider transferring with the bonus and getting the RBC British Airways visa with 50000 sign up bonus after spend plus a companion pass once you spend $30000.00. You would then have enough points to redeem 2 first class tickets to Europe. The $30000 spend goes January 1- December 31 keep in mind, and the return taxes are about $1000 per person, but for 2 first class tickets it is still worth it in my opinion.
