What happened
American Express is paying a 30% bonus on Membership Rewards transfers to Virgin Atlantic through November 30, 2026. A 1,000-point transfer credits 1,300 Virgin Atlantic miles.
Doctor of Credit describes 30% as the normal bonus rate for this pairing and notes that past limited-time bonuses have ranged from 15% up to 40%. Points travellers who need Virgin Atlantic miles can get 30% more miles per Membership Rewards point at a rate the blog calls typical.
Transfer by November 30, 2026 only against a Virgin Atlantic award that is already planned.
