The basics of turning everyday spending into free flights.
Earn Points
Use travel credit cards for everyday purchases. Top cards earn 2-5x points on travel, dining, and groceries. Most people earn 50,000+ points per year without changing habits.
Transfer to Airlines
Move your bank points to airline loyalty programs at 1:1 ratios. This unlocks award charts and sweet spot redemptions worth 2-10x more than booking through your bank's portal.
Book Award Flights
Redeem miles for flights at a fraction of the cash price. A $1,200 flight to Europe might cost just 30,000 points — that's 4 cents per point in value.
Best Programs for Flight Deals
The transferable points programs that deliver the most value for FL & TX flyers.
Chase Ultimate Rewards
Transfer to Southwest, United, JetBlue, Hyatt, and more. Best for MCO and TPA flyers.
Amex Membership Rewards
Transfer to Delta, JetBlue, British Airways, ANA, and Singapore Airlines.
Capital One Miles
Flexible transfers to all major programs. Great welcome bonuses on new cards.
