    Wow right as you made these AA flights thru Qatar videos Amex drops a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways 😂 must be a sign cause I might need to book a short flight with American soon and Qatar is only 4.5k points each way with the bonus 🙏🏻 clutch

    Dear Max, many thanks for your video. One question: if I like to transfer my Amex-Points to British Airways Avios do I just need a BA-Account or do I need beside the BA-Account at least one flight with BA to let's say activate the BA-Account?

      You need a BA account to transfer points to a BA account!

    Thanks, Max. Does this mean we can transfer Avios points from British Airways to Qatar and then redeem those Avios to get a ticket from OneWorld partners (e.g., JAL)?

    • @MaxMilesPoints

      ⁠Nice. Thanks, Max! Do you have a video to show us how to use Qatar Avios on partner airlines? I just tried on Qatar Airways' website but the site is not super user friendly. Especially I am interested a flight to Japan.

    I want to take advantage of the 30% transfer bonus. I have like 500k Amex MR. I am thinking of transferring them all to either BA or Iberia. I only use my MR for flights and nothing else and the One World airlines usually work for where I’m trying to go to (Europe & Asia). Should I transfer them all or only a bit? Thank you 😊

    Can you do a video on how to find award flights on Fin air?? Literally every date I search for says no flights available. yet, other airlines see availability like British airways and Qantas.

    I have combined my BA with Qatar, but there’s an error which is popping up on linking finnair with Ba .
    Any way by which I can do so?

    I booked a AA flight via Qatar Avios. But had to cancelled as my travel date changed and tebooked AA via Qatar avios. However, it's been over a week and I still don't see my avios redepisited yet. Although I got email stating will be refundido at time of cancellation. What is the wait time for Qatar to refund/redeposit avios back to my account?

    I'm looking to book an Avios award flight on QR metal and transferring points to BA with the AMEX bonus. Points and taxes of the flight are equal whether I book with BA or QR. Would there be any advantage in transferring my points to QR and booking the flight there, or should I skip a step and just book the flight on BA's website?

    • @MaxMilesPoints
      @MaxMilesPoints  2 месяца назад +1

      Cancellation policy might be different between the two airlines. Also boook direct with the operating airline as often as you can so if anything goes wrong then you can contact the operating airline directly

    Let's say I have booked an american airlines flight from Frankfurt to DFW via British airways, paid in cash for economy. Can I use avios to upgrade despite the flight being operated by American Airlines although it was booked through British Airways ?
    Would much appreciate if I could get your thoughts about that Max or anyone else. Thanks

    • @MaxMilesPoints
      @MaxMilesPoints  2 месяца назад

      Probably not. Flight is operated by AA and usually the operating airline determines how you can upgrade and they likely won’t accept Avios as an option

      I don't think transferring / linking will extend the life of the Avios. You can either transfer 1,000 points to British Airways or maybe link Uber to your account and take a quick uber ride somewhere
