Chase → Virgin Atlantic Up to 40% Bonus for Transfers by November 20 (Then 30% Until December 5)

Chase has launched a promotional offer that provides increased bonuses for transferring Ultimate Rewards points to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. This promotion consists of two time periods: from November 7, 2025, to November 20, 2025, you will receive 40% more Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles for each point transferred, and from November 21 to December 5, the transfer bonus will be reduced to 30%.

Overview of the Conversion Bonuses

Details of the Offer

• Two Promotion Period:
  • November 7, 2025, to November 20, 2025 → 40% bonus (1,000 Ultimate Rewards points = 1,400 Virgin Points)
  • November 21, 2025 to December 5 → 30% bonus (1,000 Ultimate Rewards points = 1,300 Virgin Points)
• Minimum Transfer: 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points

Practical Application

Virgin Atlantic’s 40% conversion bonus increases the value of points transferred, making it a compelling option for those planning to use miles for award travel. Virgin Atlantic frequently offers discounted award travel promotions, which can further enhance the value of this bonus. However, members should be aware of potentially high fees on business class awards from the U.S. Despite this, the ability to redeem miles on various SkyTeam partners can provide additional flexibility.

Terms and Conditions

General Terms

• Enrollment Requirements: Members must be enrolled in either Marriott Bonvoy or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and have their Chase Ultimate Rewards credit card accounts in good standing.
• Irreversible Transfers: Once points are transferred to either program, they cannot be converted back to Ultimate Rewards points.
• Processing Time: Bonus points may take up to 7-14 days to appear in the member’s account post-transfer.

The 5 Best Ways to Use Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Bonuses

1. ANA Business & First Class from the U.S. to Japan

If you live in the U.S., have some wiggle room in your travel plans, and dream of a big trip to Japan, this is a fantastic way to spend your points. Virgin Atlantic’s chart for their partner ANA is still awesome for scoring premium cabin seats, even after some changes.

Here are some example rates for one-way flights:

• West Coast (LAX/SFO/SEA/YVR) to Tokyo
  • Economy: 30,000 points
  • Business: 52,500 points
  • First: 72,500 points
• Central/East Coast (ORD/IAD/JFK/IAH/ORD) to Tokyo
  • Economy: 32,500 points
  • Business: 60,000 points
  • First: 85,000 points

You’ll need to pay some carrier charges (around \$150–\$300 one-way), but it’s usually less than what you’d pay for transatlantic flights.

Why it’s good now:

• Business Class tickets often cost \$3,000–\$5,000, so you’re getting a great deal.
• First Class can be \$15,000–\$20,000 or more, so it is worth it.
• The award chart is set, so it comes down to finding available seats.

2. Air France & KLM Business Class from the U.S. to Europe

Virgin’s Air France/KLM charts can get you excellent value on off-peak dates. If you’re planning a business trip to Europe, especially from major U.S. airports, and can travel during slower times, check this out.

A sample deal (one-way, off-peak):

• East Coast (like JFK/BOS/IAD) to Western Europe: Around 48,500 points in business.
• West Coast to Europe: Still a good deal compared to other options; prices change by zone but are reasonable.

You’ll have some charges, the price are usually less than flying Virgin to the U.K.

Why it’s good:

• You can often get good value where business tickets cost \$1,500–\$2,500.
• It’s great for U.S. travelers who:
  • Want to avoid the U.K.
  • Want good availability and good seats.
  • Have points they can move around.

3. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class (Saver) from the U.S. to London

Virgin’s prices can change, but if you find a Upper Class flight to London, grab it. If you’re on the East Coast, can be flexible, and don’t mind paying charges for a direct flight to London.

Example (standard/low dates, JFK–LHR one-way):

• From around 29,000 points Upper Class (Saver)
• From around 10,500 points Premium, around 6,000 points Economy

Charges:

• From around \$200–\$300+ in Upper Class from the U.S. to the U.K.

Why it’s worth it:

• A fancy business seat for 29,000 points + extra fees is a steal.
• Virgin’s service is nice. For many U.S. flyers, this is a nice deal.

4. Delta & SkyTeam Flights (Especially U.S. & Caribbean)

Virgin’s charts for partner airlines often beat what Delta charges for the same flights.

Who should use it?: If you want value on travel in the U.S. and nearby, not just fancy premium seats.

Examples (one-way on Delta via Virgin):

• 0–500 miles: 7,500 points in Main Cabin
• 501–1,000 miles: 11,000 points
• 1,001–1,500 miles: 16,500 points

On many U.S. routes, this can be:

• A \$150–\$250 ticket for 7,500–11,000 points

*Low charges outside transatlantic routes.

Why this is good for U.S. travelers:

• Great for weekend trips or flights to the Caribbean.
• Good way to use smaller point balances.

5. Hawaiian Airlines Flights Between the U.S. Mainland and Hawaii

Using Virgin points for Hawaiian Airlines can get you to Hawaii at a good price.

Example (one-way on Hawaiian via Virgin):

• Mainland U.S. West Coast to Hawaii: 20,000 points Economy or 40,000 points First.

When tickets cost around \$350–\$600:

• Economy can be pretty good.
• First can be great when prices are high.

Why it’s interesting:

• Easy to read chart, no crazy price changes.
• You can keep all your points in one place (Virgin + partners) and still use them for a trip to Hawaii.

Conclusion

The 40% transfer bonus will be available until November 20, after which it will decrease to 30%, so keep that in mind! Evaluate your travel plans and consider the best time to transfer to take full advantage of these promotion.
