Amex Launches 40% Transfer Bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Through Dec. 31

The richer transfer ratio reduces the Membership Rewards needed for select premium partner awards.

Overview

  • Eligible cardmembers receive 1,400 Virgin points for every 1,000 Membership Rewards points transferred, with most transfers posting instantly.
  • The promotion is available now through Dec. 31, and transfers must be made in 1,000-point increments and cannot be reversed.
  • High-value uses include ANA business class between the U.S. and Japan for roughly 45,000–47,500 Flying Club points, requiring fewer Amex points under the bonus.
  • Virgin Atlantic’s dynamic pricing can put Upper Class one-way between the U.S. and UK below 30,000 points on select dates, though taxes, fees and surcharges apply.
  • Virgin points can be used on Virgin Atlantic and partners across SkyTeam and beyond, including Delta, Air France and KLM, subject to seat availability.
