Transfer Partners by Airline Alliance

One of the biggest “aha!” moments in the points & miles world is realizing that you don't always need to transfer points directly to the airline you want to fly.

Airline alliances can open up a whole new world of redemption possibilities. By understanding which airlines belong to each alliance—and which credit-card programs transfer to those airline partners—you can often find more ways to use the points you already have.

We created this guide to help you see those connections in one easy-to-reference resource.

Inside the guide, you’ll find:

  • Popular airline alliances organized in an easy-to-follow format

  • Airlines that belong to each major alliance

  • Credit-card rewards programs that transfer to participating airline partners

  • A visual way to connect your credit-card points with airline programs

  • A helpful reference when searching for award flights and planning your next trip

  • A better understanding of how airline alliances can expand your redemption options

Instead of thinking, “I don't have points with that airline,” start thinking, “Which of my points can transfer to a partner that can help me book that flight?”

That shift in thinking is one of the keys to getting more value from your points & miles—and this guide is designed to help make it easier.

Save this guide for your next award search and start thinking beyond the airline you see on the ticket.
