Home , Using Your Points for Free Travel
Most of the largest airlines are members of the three big airline alliances. You can use points from any of the alliance's frequent flyer program to book award tickets on any combination of the alliance's airlines. Understanding Airline Alliances
Rather than listing all of the different alliance options, over and over again, for every airline in the alliance, we just list them once in this section .
For example, if you have Ultimate Rewards and Membership Rewards points, and you want to fly on a Star Alliance airline like ANA, you could use transfer your points to Air Canada, Singapore Airlines, or United miles to book the award ticket. You can choose whichever of these programs requires the lowest combination of miles and fees. Obviously, if you have Marriott points, you'll have a lot of additional options.
Scandinavian Airlines is listed as an option, even though they don't participate in any of the transferable point programs and don't issue their own credit card, because they have a reasonably-priced point purchase option, with no annual maximum. This makes them a good option for purchasing the points to take advantage of Star Alliance business and first class award availability.
You can book any Star Alliance airline with:
