02 · Via intermediaries — aggregated ratio
10 chains · every leg's toll multiplied in
Card points hopping through 1–4 partner programs into Saudia Alfursan, every leg multiplied into one end-to-end ratio. A chain is that whole path; each transfer inside it is a leg, and each one costs days and usually points. Only chains that unlock this program or beat the direct route render — the value-traps are suppressed.

03 · Already holding hotel or partner points?
5 program hops · no card involved
Balance-origin hops — a transfer between two loyalty programs rather than out of a card, so it is a stash you already hold and no card is involved. Single leg, so the ratio is the aggregate. Most are rescue valves, not plans: check the ₹/mile before moving anything.

Miles/pt = Saudia Alfursan miles per 1 point of the source; aggregated ratios multiply every leg. ₹/mile prices the redemption at house values. Chain rows print their own mins and caps — a capped valve moves slowly no matter how good the ratio. Per-card exceptions show their own aggregated ratio on the row. † ranked at the BEST-CASE block rate — the volume bonus on a leg of this chain (Bonvoy 5,000 miles per 60,000 points, Hyatt 5,000 per 50,000) pays only at whole blocks, so a transfer that doesn't fill one lands fewer miles than this row implies. ‡ the ratio is the BASE rate, which every transfer size pays. The block bonus is extra and only at whole blocks: 10,000 points earns none of it, 60,000 earns it once, 90,000 still earns it once. Cards saved in your wallet are highlighted automatically.
Straight answers
The questions people actually type about moving points into Saudia Alfursan — answered from the same rows as the tables above, with the same numbers.
How long do SBI Travel Credits → Saudia Alfursan transfers take?
Up to 21 days. SBI Travel Credits converts at 2:1, so one point becomes 0.50 Saudia Alfursan points, worth ₹0.50 at our house mark. 3 cards on this currency can ride it, and SBI Card MILES PRIME is the highest-ranked. That gap is the risk: award space can vanish before the miles land, so never move points on spec.
What's the best ratio into Saudia Alfursan?
2:1 from SBI Travel Credits, on SBI Card MILES PRIME (ranked #58). One point becomes 0.50 Saudia Alfursan points — ₹0.50 of value at our house mark. Nothing else on this page converts harder; the direct table above ranks the rest of the field, per-card exceptions already applied.
Do Saudia Alfursan points expire?
We have not verified an expiry rule for Saudia Alfursan, so we do not publish one — an invented clock is worse than no clock. Check the program's own terms before you move a balance in, and treat every ratio on this page as the answer to "what does it convert at", not "how long can it sit".
What's the minimum transfer into Saudia Alfursan?
Not on the card routes. None of the issuers feeding Saudia Alfursan publishes a transfer minimum we can read — the number lives behind the transfer screen's login — so we print none rather than guess one and strand your points at the last step. Where a partner-balance hop does publish a floor, we print it: Shangri-La Circle min 1,000 points · Marriott Bonvoy min 3,000 pts · IHG One Rewards min 10,000 pts, and 1 more on the rows above. Each is per transaction, and any cap rides on the same row.
