The Amex Membership Rewards program has just launched a lucrative new transfer bonus, which I think will interest many people. We haven’t seen one of these offers from Amex since late last year, so this is definitely worth considering.
For context, Amex seems to offer a transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club once or twice per year, though for this year, this is the first offer. The bonuses are typically in the range of 30-40%, so this is on the high side, and as good as these offers get.
Last year we 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.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
