How Can I Transfer Miles To Flying Blue?
You can transfer miles from every major flexible credit card currency including American Express Membership Rewards Points, Chase Ultimate Rewards Points, Citi Thank You Rewards Points, and Capital One Miles. Most transfer at a 1:1 ratio. Check with each individual program as some occasionally have bonus’s for transferring.
In addition to credit card points, you can also transfer partner hotel miles to Flying Blue, but I would avoid doing that as, the transfer ratios aren’t that great.
| AccorHotels | 2,000 Le Club Points* | 1,000 Award Miles |
| Hilton Honors | 10 Honors Points* | 1 Award Mile |
| World of Hyatt | 1,250 Gold Passport Points** | 500 Award Miles |
| IHG Rewards Club | 10,000 Rewards Club Points | 2,000 Award Miles |
Hurry! The “Promo Rewards – Special Edition” is up for a limited time only. Seats are limited, and redemption availability is on a first-come-first-served basis.
