Transfer Optimizer
The Transfer Optimizer finds every available path between your source points and a destination program — but knowing which path to pick is where the real value lies. This section goes beyond the buttons and teaches you how to think about point optimization.
Looking for the step-by-step UI walkthrough? See Using the Transfer Optimizer, Quick Transfers, and Multi-Hop Chain Wizard in the Transfers guides.

The same optimizer runs from chat. After you connect an assistant, try: “I need 70,000 Flying Blue miles for a JFK–CDG award. Which of my points should I transfer to get them, and is there a transfer bonus on any of them?”
