March 2026 Audit: The Avios Arbitrage

The 20% Chase to Avios bonus is the standout this month. While 20% sounds lower than last month's Marriott offer, the **baseline value** of an Avios is significantly higher.

When you factor in the bonus, your effective redemption rate improves by a multiplier of $1.2$. For a business class seat typically costing 80,000 miles, you only need to move 67,000 Chase points.
