Quick Overview

American Airlines transfer partners consist solely of hotel loyalty programs and are not linked to any major credit card rewards programs.
Hotel partners won’t earn many AA miles, but transfers to AA can be helpful for topping off your account if you're just a few miles short of a redemption.
AAdvantage miles cannot be transferred to other airlines but can be redeemed on aa.com for flights with American Airlines, oneworld Alliance members, and other global partners.

Use our AAdvantage transfer partners calculator to determine how many AA miles you'll earn when you transfer to American from partner rewards programs.

What points transfer to AA?

American Airlines is a direct transfer partner of several hotel loyalty programs. Here's the list of American Airlines transfer partners:

Hyatt points to AAdvantage

World of Hyatt points can be transferred to AAdvantage at a 5:2 rate. Every 5,000 Hyatt points you transfer will give you 2,000 AAdvantage miles.

You'll also receive a bonus 5,000 AAdvantage miles for every 50,000 Hyatt points you transfer.

Marriott Bonvoy points to AAdvantage

Marriott Bonvoy points can be transferred to AAdvantage at a 3:1 rate. Every 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy points you convert will give you 1,000 AAdvantage miles.

Do note that the Marriott Bonvoy point transfer bonus does not apply to AAdvantage, so you will not earn bonus AAdvantage miles for 60,000-point transfers.
