American Express is running a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club from November 2 through November 30, 2026. Membership Rewards points normally move at 1:1, so while the bonus runs, 1,000 points become 1,300 Flying Club points. If you've priced a Virgin Atlantic or partner award, transfer by November 30. If you haven't, don't move points just because a bonus showed up.
Deal Details
- The bonus: 30% extra on Amex Membership Rewards points transferred to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
- The ratio: 1,000 Membership Rewards points to 1,300 Flying Club points, up from the usual 1,000 to 1,000.
- The window: November 2 through November 30, 2026.
How to Take Advantage
- Find the award seat first and note its price in Flying Club points.
- Work out how many Membership Rewards points that price takes after the bonus.
- Sign in to your Amex account, go to Membership Rewards, choose to transfer points and pick Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
- Check that the 30% bonus shows on the transfer screen, then confirm.
Why This Deal Matters
Flying Club points can pay for flights on Virgin Atlantic and on partner airlines. Our guide on how to redeem Virgin Atlantic miles walks through the booking options and what to check before you transfer. Our guide to Amex Membership Rewards transfer partners covers the other airline and hotel programs.
Capital One is also running a bonus to Virgin, which we cover in our Capital One to Virgin article. It ends November 20, earlier than this one.
Who Should Transfer
This bonus is for Amex cardholders with a Virgin Atlantic or partner award already priced and available. Skip it if you're transferring on speculation. Price the seat now so you can move exactly what you need before November 30.
