Heads up, awardtrail readers! Amex is running a promo where you can get a sweet 20% bonus when you transfer your Membership Rewards points to Air France/KLM's Flying Blue program. Basically, instead of the usual 1,000 Amex points getting you 1,000 Flying Blue miles, you'll now get 1,200. This offer is valid until October 31, 2025, so you have plenty of time to take advantage.

Why does this matter? If you've been eyeing a flight on Air France or KLM (or any of their SkyTeam partners), this is a great way to stretch your Amex points further. Think of it as getting a 20% discount on award flights! It’s worth noting that these transfer bonuses pop up fairly regularly, and have been as high as 25% in the past.

One golden rule: don't transfer points speculatively! Only make the transfer if you have a specific flight in mind and have confirmed award availability. You don't want to be stuck with a pile of Flying Blue miles if your travel plans change. So, do some research, find a flight you love, and then pounce on this bonus to make your points go further!
