What’s your favorite obscure transfer partner? I just found out I can transfer my Amex points to a Japanese airline and suddenly I’m plotting trips I hadn’t even considered. Love when points open weird doors.

Well it just closed June 30th, but was Amex to Hawaiian Airlines and then transfer those to Alaska (which is a partner of American Airlines).

I’m based in a AA hub and that’s practically all I can fly so it works perfectly.

This was the only points transfer I did without having a trip planned. Alaska is just too valuable for me in DFW!

Lol what...? Transferring points to travel to Japan is by far the least obscure transfer strategy. Good luck actually finding availability on ANA though.

I don't think there are any obscure transfer partners anymore, unless you're talking about 2-step transfers to arbitrage bonuses.

I've been fortunate to find Air France business availability quite a bit lately. 3 trips to Europe so far this year.

Thank you

Amex transfers to ANA was literally the only reason I had Amex cards. RTW was an incredible value. Too bad they killed it before you “discovered” ANA.

Next you’ll “discover” Lifemiles…
