If 'your acct' is a US based FFP, there is a federal excise fee, when transferring.

i'm not sure but i think what you are referring to is that if you win a points sweepstake (for instance 1 million aa miles) then you would have to, but i don't think you need to on cc bonuses

Cc bonus no but checking bonuses yes
