Transfer Avios Points to American Airlines and Get the Best Bargains

The COVID pandemic wreaked havoc on all industries and perhaps the worst hit was the travel industry. People could not travel due to restrictions, but the situation has since improved.

If you had accumulated points balances via your credit cards, well, good news for you! It is possible to transfer Avios points to American Airlines and enjoy lower redemption rates.

British Avios is the name used for the points currency for the British Airways Executive Club loyalty program. You can transfer the Avios points yourself or rely on the world's first robot assistant to do the heavy lifting for you.

How Points and Miles Work

Points and miles serve as a currency you earn every time you shop or take a trip. These points later allow you to book free flights or book hotel stays by redeeming these points. You can swipe your credit cards and redeem the points and miles to exclude your purchase from your monthly credit card statement.

British Airways offers better value than American Airlines when you redeem for short flights. American Airlines asks for 7,500 AAdvantage miles for flights of up to 500 miles, so if you travel under 500 miles, you don't need to look for an alternative.

The lowest official AAdvantage redemption rate for over 500 miles is from 12,500 AAdvantage miles for domestic flights. You can get Avios points even without regularly flying these airlines.

Each program has a points-earning credit card for American-based travelers. You can transfer your points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Avios, Marriott Bonvoy, or American Express membership rewards.

The easiest way of racking up Avios is via the Avios-earning credit cards. Each of the program's credit cards has a welcome bonus:

If you have enough value and can justify three fees annually, you can get all three cards if you choose.

Where Can I Transfer Avios Points?

You can transfer Avios points to either of three airline loyalty programs with a separate award chart. It is never a great idea to transfer your points between hotel and airline programs as you end up losing value during the transfer process.

An exception is the transfer of Avios at a ratio of 1:1 between Aer Lingus AerClub, Iberia Plus, and the British Airways Executive Club. These three loyalty programs use Avios to represent their mileage currency. Still, each has a separate chart determining how many Avios make a particular flight.

You can transfer Avios between these programs to book flights where you feel you get the best value. You can collect all your points in a single program or top off a single account.

How to Transfer Avios Points to American Airlines on Your Own

The transfer of Avios points needs you to be keen and pay attention to detail. You have to scour the internet, making comparisons to get the best deal.

Navigate to book a rewards flight on the British Airways website. Check for the available flights in the "Book with Avios" section and pick the flight you want. Flights operating as the site indicates partner airlines.

You can earn Avios in different ways, even on partner and alliance airlines flights. The rating depends on the airline flown, the trip length, cabin booked, and your tier level on the Executive Club.
