Overview
- Transfers completed Nov. 7–20 earn a 40% Flying Club bonus, stepping down to 30% from Nov. 21–Dec. 5, with the bonus hard coded into the ratio at checkout.
- During the 40% window, 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points convert to 1,400 Virgin points; transfers are made in 1,000-point increments, are generally instant, and cannot be reversed.
- Saver examples cited include U.S.–London from 6,000/10,500/29,000 Virgin points in economy/premium economy/Upper Class, requiring roughly 5,000/8,000/21,000 Chase points after the 40% boost.
- Virgin’s dynamic award pricing can push mileage costs much higher on some dates, so value varies by route and availability.
- Taxes and surcharges remain significant—often $200+ one way in Upper Class and higher from the U.K.—and Flying Club points can also be used on partners such as ANA, Delta, Air France/KLM, and SAS.
