Great Deal for Short-Haul Travel
Let’s put it in an easy way that many of us would use our Avios for (short-haul flights in the US): the short haul flights on partners like American Airlines cost 7,500 Avios. With his new transfer bonus, you will only need 5,300 Membership Reward points. That is really not bad at all, especially considering that some of these short-haul flights can cost over $300!
Reach More US Cities for Less!
The short-haul limit for these flights is any non-stop American Airlines or Alaska Airlines flight (in North America) up to 1,151 miles. This puts a whole lot of destinations in range from AA and Alaska hubs or allows you to get to those hubs for much less! That means you can now fly to cities like Chicago, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Seattle for just 5,300 Amex points (as long as your city of choice is a non-stop flight from your airport and under 1,151 miles). Not bad!
If you want to use them for flights under 650 miles that are outside of North America, your value use is even better! Those flights would only cost you 3,300 Membership Reward points!
While there are a lot of things you can do with Membership Reward points, a transfer bonus like this is a good one to take advantage of, at least in some small quantity. I only use my British Airways Avios for short-haul and I love having enough in the account for that trip that pops up last minute since they do not have close-in booking fees and the value can be huge.
