The Chase Ultimate Rewards program has just introduced its latest transfer bonus, and it’s one that some might find to be worthwhile, as this is an especially big bonus. Let’s cover the details…
We recently saw Flying Club introduce dynamic award pricing for travel on Virgin Atlantic. While the changes are a mixed bag, what’s exciting is that on the low end, redemptions are cheaper than ever before. It’s now possible to fly one-way Virgin Atlantic Upper Class between the United States and the UK for under 30,000 points, and that’s before a transfer bonus.
Beyond that, Virgin Atlantic has several airline partners, some of which are more lucrative than others. Probably the best use of Flying Club points is for travel in ANA first & business class. You can find the redemption rates below.
Paying 45,000-47,500 Flying Club points for a one-way business class ticket between the United States and Japan is a phenomenal value to start with. Then when you consider the 40% transfer bonus, that means you could be paying significantly fewer Chase points. First class can also be a good deal.
All Nippon Airways’ new first & business class are amazing products as well. The major catch is that availability can be really tough to come by.
Bottom line
Through November 20, 2025, you can receive a 40% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, and then through December 5, 2025, you can receive a 25% bonus. This is definitely more of a niche program, but with a specific use in mind, there’s a lot of value to be had.
