Last call for bonus Avios points on hotel transfers
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Tomorrow, 9th December, is the last day to transfer selected hotel points to Avios and receive a 30% bonus.
This year, it is a very poor selection of partners. The only programmes offering the 30% Avios transfer bonus are Radisson Rewards and IHG Rewards Club.

Let’s look at the points needed for a high category room redemption, which I am assuming is worth £250 a night. The Avios conversion does not include the 30 per cent bonus.
IHG Rewards Club – 60,000 to 70,000 points = 12,000 to 14,000 Avios or a £250 room
Radisson Rewards – 70,000 points = 7,000 Avios or a £250 room
As you can see, transferring Radisson Rewards points to Avios is a terrible deal, even with a 30% bonus, unless you are sure you will never use them for a free night.
IHG is better value but I would still recommend you try to use your points for a free hotel room if you can.
