November 2026 Transfer Bonuses and What Each One Makes a Point Worth

Ten bank transfer bonuses are running in November. For each one we worked out what a point reaches with the bonus, next to our value for it. Chase to Iberia goes furthest, and the hotel bonuses get less than those points can reach elsewhere.

Seven bank transfer bonuses are running in October, from Amex, Chase, Citi and Capital One. For each one we worked out what a point is worth kept, moved normally, and moved with the bonus. Citi to Avianca and Japan Airlines come out furthest ahead; the two hotel bonuses still lose value.

Citi Added Japan Airlines as a Transfer Partner. Here Is What It Did to a ThankYou Point.

On September 20, 2026, Citi ThankYou Points started transferring to JAL Mileage Bank at 1:1 on the annual-fee cards, with a 30 percent launch bonus through October 24 and a quieter 25 percent Avianca bonus on the same window. We read it from Citi's own partner table the day it went live. Here is what the new partner is good for, and why our published value of a ThankYou point moved by a hundredth or two of a cent rather than more.
