Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
Do amex ever offer transfer bonuses for MR points to convert into things like avios or virgin points? I know they do in the US but it seems we don’t get any offers like this in the UK?
Can’t remember any from the last few years. HSBC seems to do it annually for avios.
No. This is how Amex UK balances the books. Transfers to miles cost them a lot more than gift cards etc and they won’t encourage it.
They will be one if Qatar is added as a one off but it seems BA may have blocked this. All other countries are adding Qatar.

heck….just accumulated 150k mr points. Hoping to use them for non virgin/avios redemption! Oops…is there no work around?
@Royback There are other airlines that partner with Amex UK, so you can still transfer your MRs at 1:1 to Air France, Cathay, Delta, Emirates, Etihad, Finnair, KLM, Qantas, Singapore etc. to book flights, you just likely won’t get a bonus when you do.
