Cards that earn Choice Privileges

Before you transfer

  • Transfers go one way. Once points move to a partner they can't come back, so transfer only when the award you want is there to book.
  • Ratios change. Issuers add and drop partners and run limited-time transfer bonuses. Check the terms on the day you move.
  • "Instant" usually means minutes. Some partners take days, and an award seat can disappear while points are in transit.
  • Blocks and names. Most transfers go in blocks of 1,000, and the airline or hotel account must be in your own name.
