Capital One shocked the mileage world when they announced last November that their points would be transferable into real airline miles.
Eligible cards include:
- The Capital One® Spark® Miles for Business is offering for a limited time only 50,000 miles for spending $5,000 in 3 months and another 150,000 miles for spending another $45,000 within 6 months, so you’ll have 300,000 total miles after spending $50,000 thanks to also earning 2 miles per dollar spent. This card now also offers free Global Entry/Pre-Check Membership.
- The Capital One® Venture® Rewards Credit Card is offering 50,000 miles for spending $3,000 in 3 months. This card now also offers free Global Entry/Pre-Check Membership.

The Capital One® Spark® Cash for Business is offering for a limited time only $500 cash back for spending $5,000 in 3 months and another $1,500 cash back for spending another $45,000 within 6 months, so you’ll have $3,000 cash back after spending $50,000 thanks to also earning 2 cents per dollar spent. You can transfer cash back into miles at a 1:1 ratio if you also have the Spark® Miles or Venture® card.

Capital One continues to be a crowd-pleaser with their monthly transfer bonuses.
Flying Blue considers Israel to be part of Europe, which makes for mileage bargains, though fuel surcharges apply. JFK to Tel Aviv can be booked for as low as 25K miles in coach, 42.5K points in premium economy, or 53K miles in business class each way.
They also have rotating discounts called Promo Awards for even bigger bargains! For example a business class flight between Chicago and Tel Aviv is now just 26.5K miles!
You can also get a 25% bonus for transferring AMEX points to Flying Blue.

How can you transfer to someone else FF account that is an AU on the account ?
do these points still expire regardless of activity?
Flying Blue points expire after 24 months of inactivity unless you fly on a Skyteam airline (and credit to Flying Blue) or use Air France credit card. Other activity does not extend life of miles.
do you have a CapOne link that explains how to do this? I can’t find anything.
When transferring to Jet Blue, are the miles available instantly?
