Capital One to Virgin Red and Flying Club: 30% Transfer Bonus Through November 20

Capital One is running a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Red and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club that runs through November 20, 2026. Capital One miles normally move to Virgin at 1:1, so while the bonus runs, 1,000 Capital One miles become 1,300 Virgin Points. If you have a Virgin award priced out, transfer by November 20, and if you don't, don't move miles just because a bonus showed up.

Deal Details

• The bonus: 30% extra on Capital One miles transferred to Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
• The ratio: 1,000 Capital One miles to 1,300 Virgin Points, up from the usual 1,000 to 1,000.
• The deadline: the bonus runs through November 20, 2026.
• The minimum: 1,000 Capital One miles, then increments of 100.
• The setup: link your Capital One and Virgin Red accounts before you transfer. The name on your Capital One account also has to match the name on your Virgin account.

How to Take Advantage

1. Find the award seat first and note its price in Virgin Points.
2. Link your Capital One account to your Virgin Red account if you haven't already.
3. Sign in to Capital One, go to the rewards section, choose to transfer miles and pick Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
4. Check that the 30% bonus shows on the transfer screen, then confirm. Transfers are typically processed instantly.

Why This Deal Matters

Virgin Points can pay for flights on Virgin Atlantic and its partners, and our guide on how to redeem Virgin Atlantic miles walks through booking Virgin, Delta, Air France and KLM, and what to check before you transfer.

Capital One's 20% bonus to British Airways is also running, through October 31. Miles that transfer need a Capital One rewards card, such as the Venture X Business we cover in our Venture X Business review.

Who Should Transfer

This bonus is for Capital One cardholders with a Virgin Atlantic, Delta, Air France, KLM or other partner award already priced and available. Skip it if you're transferring on speculation, and price the seat now so you can move exactly what you need before November 20.
