If you are targeted for a special offer you’ll notice “special offer” above the eligible airlines or hotels in your account.  Be sure to login to check.

I have multiple different Membership Rewards numbers on the same login and when I select different accounts I can access different promotions.  If you have multiple Membership Rewards numbers be sure to check them all by logging out and back in again.

Generally speaking it’s not worth transferring points unless you have a use for them now.

Here is a list of some of the current public and targeted bonus transfer offers:

-30% Flying Blue bonus.
Normally 1K AMEX MR points transfers into 1K Flying Blue miles. Targeted accounts will get 1,300 miles for transfers through 12/15.

A round-trip flight from JFK to Tel Aviv in January or February will cost 25K miles plus $249.40 in fees. That’s equal to 19,230 AMEX MR points.
A paid flight search from 01/18-01/25 looks like this:

 
Taking the $873 cost to fly on KLM (Doesn’t seem fair to compare KLM to UIA) and subtracting the $249 in fees you’re left redeeming 19,230 points to save $624, a value of 3.25 cents per point.

A one-way flight from JFK to Tel Aviv is 12,500 miles plus $105. That’s the equivalent of just 9,615 AMEX MR points.

-40% JetBlue bonus.
Normally 250 AMEX MR points transfers into 200 JetBlue points. Targeted accounts will get 280 points for transfers through 11/30. In other words you’ll get 1,120 JetBlue points for every 1K AMEX MR points.

A one-way flight from JFK to Los Angeles is $191 in coach or $599 in a Mint Suite. You can use 13,200 points+$5.60 for coach or 34,900 points+$5.60 for a private suite. That’s equal to 11,785 AMEX MR points for coach or 31,160 points for Mint Suites. That’s a value of 1.57 cents per AMEX point in coach or 1.9 cents per AMEX point in business.
