Are Credit Card Transfer Bonuses Worth It?

Transfer bonuses can sound like a no-brainer — a 40%, 55%, even 70% bonus on your points just for moving them to an airline or hotel program. But here's the truth: a big bonus percentage is not the same thing as a good deal. In this episode, Megan breaks down exactly how transfer bonuses work, why banks and hotel programs offer them in the first place, and the simple math framework she uses to decide whether to jump on one or pass.We're walking through how to calculate the real value of any transfer bonus, which programs are almost never worth transferring to (even with a bonus), and the scenarios where a transfer bonus can genuinely stretch your points further. If you've ever felt pressure to act fast on a limited-time offer and weren't sure if it was worth it, this episode gives you a repeatable system to make that call confidently every time.Resources:🎓 Join the Travel Points Academy 📲 Follow on Instagram 🎁 Grab the Free Trip Calculator
