For up to two travelers (and possibly more), FCF’s research team has discovered an opportunity to save up to $8,940 (72%) if you don’t have any miles and want to pay in cash or 140,000 miles when compared to normal/everyday prices traveling to/from the U.S.

Sample Savings via American Express and Citi’s points-to-miles transfer partnership with Qatar Airways: Chicago to Doha’s normal/everyday price can often be 310,000 when using American Airlines miles but if you use Amex Rewards Points partner Qatar Airways miles, the cost can be as low as 140,000 miles.

NO MILES? NO PROBLEM

American Airlines is currently running a deal whereby miles can be acquired for as low as 2.26¢ each (includes taxes and processing fee), through a new, up to 40% discount mileage purchase promo.

Qatar Airways Qsuites awards can be booked from 70,000 British Airways Avios one-way. With a 30% transfer bonus from American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways Avios, you would only need to transfer approximately 54,000 Amex points to receive the 70,000 Avios required.

Example:

 54,000 Amex Membership Rewards points + 30% transfer bonus ≈ 70,000 British Airways Avios.
