KrisFlyer is currently offering a 15% bonus on all bank transfers, including MR, through November 22. The transferred points also count towards KF status (at a 5:1 ratio). This is a fantastic opportunity, as KF currently offers excellent award availability on SQ metal.

Where can I find the history of transfer bonus promos to Hilton points?

In 2018 the base transfer ratio changed to MR 1000: 2000 HH.

Since that change, I see these bonuses that were discussed. There were additional targeted offers and Flash offers. Flash offers have no published validity dates, and may only be displayed a few times.

New to AMEX MR, just got a Platinum card a few months ago.

I want to use MR points to fly business class to Barcelona. Looks like using Asia Miles as a transfer partner is the best value??

When searching award flights on the Asia Miles website I found the ones I want 61k Asia Miles per person for business class plus ~$391 per person in fees. Flights are on BA for reference.

First, is this a good value or no?

Second, is it as simple as just transferring MR points to Asia Miles and then booking the flights on the Asia Miles site to redeem the points for the flights?

From where will you be flying?

Have you priced the trip on Iberia?

How would I price on Iberia?

Ideally want to fly from BNA. But open to flying from ORD or MIA if I need to position elsewhere to get the best deal.

The usual way is to create an account with the frequent flyer program that you want to use, and then look for award seat availability and cost. How did you find the Asia Miles cost?

You can find Iberia's redemption tables at this site, which also identifies IB's peak and off-peak dates. (Iberia has different redemption tables depending on date of travel.)

Another possible transfer partner is Avianca Life Miles, which charges 63,000 miles for a one-way in Business Class from the U.S. to Spain on Star Alliance carriers. Life Miles does not collect the carrier surcharges that some other FFPs do.
