Ends Sunday: 25% Transfer Bonus from Citi ThankYou Points to Virgin Atlantic

Transfers of Citi ThankYou Points to Virgin Atlantic miles will have a 25% bonus through Sunday August 23, 2015.

You must transfer ThankYou Points in 1,000 point increments, so until August 23:

1,000 ThankYou Points = 1,250 Virgin Atlantic miles

This is huge news as it is the first transfer bonus of Citi ThankYou Points to an airline partner. American Express Membership Rewards has historically run transfer bonuses, including to Virgin Atlantic, though Chase Ultimate Rewards never has.

Three Reasons Why You Want Virgin Atlantic Miles
1.

SPG to Aeroplan Transfer Bonus Means 40k Roundtrips to Europe, 80k First Class Roundtrips to Europe

Right now 40k Starpoints plus taxes will get you a roundtrip economy class trip to Europe, 65k Starpoints will get you a roundtrip Business Class ticket, and 80k will get you a roundtrip First Class ticket.

Starpoints always transfer to dozens of airlines at a rate of 20k Starpoints to 25k miles. On top of that standard bonus, until August 24, 2015, Aeroplan is giving a bonus of up to 40k miles on transfers of hotel points to Aeroplan miles.

Transfers in from any of these partners count, and the best deal is to transfer in SPG Starpoints.

With the 25% transfer bonus from Citi ThankYou Points to Virgin Atlantic miles, one way

Citi ThankYou Points First Transfer Bonus: 25% to Etihad Miles, but…

Citi ThankYou Points transfer 1:1 to 12 types of airline miles. If you transfer your points to miles, they become those miles with all the related rules, restrictions, and award charts. Transferring ThankYou Points to miles is the main alternative to using them like cash toward any flight.

Two weeks ago, several blogs reported that transfers from Citi ThankYou Points to Etihad Guest miles made before May 15, 2015 would have a 25% bonus.

To me, this was huge news because this was the first transfer bonus of Citi ThankYou Points to airline miles.

Virgin Atlantic 25% Transfer Bonus from American Express

American Express Membership Rewards transfers to Virgin Atlantic miles will come with an automatic 25% transfer bonus from now through April 30, 2015.

Ends Today: Membership Rewards 40% Transfer Bonus to British Airways Avios

New, Worse Avios Award Chart takes effect in April.

Transfer Bonus from ThankYou Points to Hilton HHonors

ThankYou Points are a transferable points program offered by Citi on select credit cards. ThankYou Points transfer to nine airlines and Hilton. Normally 1,000 ThankYou Points transfer to 1,500 Hilton points. Until January 8, 2015, 1,000 ThankYou Points transfers to 2,000 Hilton points!

This is exciting to me because there are some high value uses of Hilton points, and also because this is the first Citi ThankYou Points transfer bonus.
