Also: Get 40% off all Breeze flights through September April 18, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Using points for award flights by Caroline Tanner, News Reporter [TPG | Hero Image] Remember last year, when it seemed like everyone and their mother headed to Europe (especially Italy!) for the summer? We certainly hope every influencer, ex and random from our Explore page used points to journey to Italy and beyond before posting their entire trip on Instagram. [Flights to Europe are currently averaging around $1,000]( and prices may only rise as we get closer to the start of the Summer Olympics in Paris in late July. But before you plunk down that cash, remember to consider [transferring your credit card rewards]( to partner airlines and hotel programs to book instead, as this is sometimes the best way to [maximize the value of your credit card rewards](. For example, you can transfer [Chase Ultimate Rewards points]( from cards such as the [Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card]( at a 1:1 ratio with a 25% bonus to [Air France-KLM Flying Blue]( through April 30. This promo means you’d get 1,250 Flying Blue miles for every 1,000 Chase points you transfer. You could use those miles to get from the East Coast, including from Boston and Washington, to many European cities, starting at just 12,000 transferred Chase points or 15,000 Flying Blue miles. With [Flying Blue's current Promo Rewards]( economy awards start at 15,000 miles, premium economy awards at 17,500 miles and business-class awards at just 50,000 miles. You can search your desired dates and travel routes for this award availability in the [Flying Blue calendar]( which will display the lowest available fares. Speaking of award sales to Europe, [Singapore Airlines has reduced]( the miles required to fly from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Frankfurt to just 17,500 miles in economy and 56,700 in business class on many dates in May. Best of all, you can transfer miles to Singapore from many of the popular credit card award programs, including American Express Membership Rewards and Capital One.
