Amex Transfers to Virgin Atlantic Get a 30% Bonus Through July 31
Through July 31, American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club with a 30% bonus, turning 1,000 points into 1,300 Virgin points at a 1:1.3 rate. Virgin's Flying Club is one of the more rewarding places to send flexible points, with standout redemptions on ANA, Delta One, and Air France and KLM, so it's a good window to top up for a specific booking. Transfer only what you have a redemption in mind for, since Amex points are more flexible than Virgin points once they move.
American Express is running a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club through July 31, 2026. At the boosted rate, 1,000 Membership Rewards points become 1,300 Virgin points, up from the usual 1:1.
Why Virgin is worth a look:
- Flying Club prices some genuinely strong partner awards, including ANA business and first class to Japan, Delta One to Europe, and Air France and KLM.
- The base transfer is 1:1 and near-instant, so the 30% bonus is real added value, not a markup on a weak ratio.
The usual caution applies: only move points you have a specific redemption in mind for. Membership Rewards points are far more flexible once they land, and Virgin awards can carry surcharges on some partners, so price the full ticket before you transfer. Confirm the bonus is showing in your Amex account first, since it ends July 31.
