Interesting that Amex is launching this on the 10th of the month (we most often see these launch on the 1st or 15th). It’s their first transfer bonus to Flying Blue since September 2023, which was 25%.
In 2024, Chase, Citi, and Capital One have all had transfer bonuses of 20-25%.
Flying Blue rates are variable, so run a search before transferring. When you get lucky, business class from the US to Europe can run as low as just 50,000 Flying Blue miles. That would be just 42,000 American Express Membership Rewards points during this promotion!
Flying Blue is the best way to book Virgin Atlantic Upper Class from the US to Europe and beyond, due to the lowest taxes of any way to book Virgin Atlantic. It can also book Delta, KLM, and other SkyTeam members.
