Airline frequent flyer programs have their good times and their bad times, and no one wants to earn miles with a carrier that suddenly decides to devalue their miles or change their awards requirements. Thankfully, there is a type of credit card that allows cardholders to transfer their rewards to several different airlines at their choosing. So cardholders need not commit to earning miles to a single airline program. (See also: Best Airline Credit Cards)
These flexible point transfer programs have been increasing in popularity as consumers want more flexibility and freedom to choose which airline to fly when redeeming their rewards. To choose the best flexible points transfer card for your needs, you should examine the features and benefits of these cards, and which airline miles you can transfer your points to.
Here are the top credit cards that offer point to mileage transfers.
