By airline program
Pick a program for the redemption math, transfer partners, current bonuses, and the sweet spots that make it worth hoarding the currency in the first place.
Alaska Airlines
oneworldMileage Plan / Atmos Rewards
Alaska Atmos Rewards (formerly Mileage Plan) is the highest-value U.S. award currency for international business class. Partner awards on Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, and Qantas regularly clear 8–14¢ per mile.
40% buy-miles bonus active
United Airlines
star allianceMileagePlus
United MileagePlus opens the entire Star Alliance — 26 carriers including Lufthansa, ANA, Singapore, and Turkish. Pricing is dynamic on United metal and on partners, with the partner Saver levels still publishing fixed sweet-spot pricing.
American Airlines
oneworldAAdvantage
American AAdvantage is the most flexible U.S. mileage currency for oneworld redemptions, with Web Special pricing that regularly drops business-class awards 30–50% below the published chart. Bilt Rewards transfers 1:1, instantly.
Delta Air Lines
skyteamSkyMiles
Delta SkyMiles uses fully dynamic pricing with no published award chart, but transfer bonuses from Amex MR (regular 25–30% promos) make it one of the easiest programs to top up. Best value comes from main-cabin flash sales and Virgin Atlantic partner awards.
Air Canada
star allianceAeroplan
Aeroplan is the second-best Star Alliance program after United for points travelers, with a published distance-based chart and stopovers allowed for just 5,000 extra points. Transfers from Amex MR, Capital One, Chase, and Bilt make it the most-funded loyalty currency in North America.
British Airways
oneworldExecutive Club / Avios
British Airways Avios is the cheapest U.S. domestic award currency thanks to short-haul distance-based pricing on partner American Airlines. 7,500 Avios for any flight under 650 miles makes it the small-route powerhouse of the points world.
Turkish Airlines
star allianceMiles&Smiles
Turkish Miles&Smiles publishes one of the cheapest Star Alliance partner award charts: 45,000 miles one-way to Europe in business, 65,000 to Asia. Citi, Capital One, and Bilt all transfer 1:1, making it the easiest 6-figure award currency to hit fast.
Air France / KLM
skyteamFlying Blue
Air France / KLM Flying Blue runs monthly Promo Awards with 25–50% off the standard chart, and transfers 1:1 from Amex MR, Chase UR, Citi, Capital One, and Bilt. The deepest flexible-currency pool of any non-US program.
Why use Pointify for award travel
- Cash + points side-by-side. Every flight result shows the cash price AND the points price across every applicable program — no toggling between five tabs.
- Transfer-partner aware. We surface every credit-card program that funnels into the airline so you know whether your Amex MR / Chase UR / Capital One stack actually unlocks the award.
- Live availability, not a chart. We pull seats.aero data + scrape carrier sites in real time. If a seat shows up on Pointify, it’s bookable right now (or was within the last 60 minutes).
- No upcharge on points. Pointify keeps 0% of any points purchase routed through us. The price you see is the program’s price.
