Get a 30% transfer bonus when you transfer Citi ThankYou to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

NOTES: Virgin Flying Club has moved to a dynamic pricing for awards. In some cases we are seeing extreme value like 29,000 point Business Class awards from the US to London. In other cases, the prices have risen dramatically. Run some searches before transferring.

It’s also worth Virgin Atlantic transfer bonuses are fairly frequent between various programs. See historical transfer bonuses to Virgin Atlantic here. This is the 9th transfer bonus in the last year from a bank program to Virgin Atlantic. As you can see, it’s nearly always 30% with unicorns for 40%.

If we isolate to just Citi ThankYou to Virgin Atlantic Transfer Bonuses, it’s always 30%.

Best Uses of Virgin Flying Club points:

Two great uses are domestically on Delta within the US or US-Mexico/Canada and for economy flights to/from Europe that are as few as 12,000 miles each way on partners such as KLM or Delta.

If you could actually find a Delta One award FROM Europe to the US, it would be just 50,000 points. Availability is a unicorn. Unfortunately, awards TO Europe on Delta now cost more and have $1,000 + surcharges). Virgin Atlantic can also book Air France and KLM flights as well as other SkyTeam alliance airlines.

The other, well known, “best use” is to book ANA First and Business class awards:

First Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 145,000 points Round Trip
First Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 170,000 points Round Trip
Business Class to/from Japan from West Coast: 105,000 points Round Trip
Business Class to/from Japan from East Coast: 120,000 points Round Trip

Note that you can also book these ANA awards as one way for half the points. Search on United and then call Virgin to book.
