Double Bonus Alert: Chase and Amex Are Both Offering Huge Virgin Atlantic Transfer Bonuses

Two of the biggest credit card programs — Chase Ultimate Rewards and Amex Membership Rewards — are currently offering transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at the same time.

• Chase → Virgin Atlantic: 30% bonus (ends Dec 5, 2025)
• Amex → Virgin Atlantic: 40% bonus (ends Dec 31, 2025)

This is a rare opportunity to stack your points and unlock some of the best business and first-class redemptions in the game — for even fewer points than usual.

How Transfer Bonuses Work

When a transfer bonus is active, you get extra miles for free when you move your credit card points to a partner program.

Example:
Transferring 10,000 Amex points with a 40% bonus = 14,000 Virgin points

The bonuses are applied automatically during the transfer process, and most transfers are instant, even if the portal says 48 hours.

Where to transfer from:

• For Chase, log into your account, select “Benefits & Travel”, select “Redeem Rewards”, then “Transfer Points”, then select Virgin Atlantic, and enter the number of points to transfer.
• For Amex, go to “Rewards & Benefits” → “Transfer Points,” select Virgin Atlantic, and complete the transfer.

⚠️ Important: All transfers to Virgin Atlantic are final — so be sure to confirm award space before moving points.
