The Chase Ultimate Rewards program is offering a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club program until Feb. 28, which means every 1,000 Ultimate Rewards points you transfer becomes 1,400 Virgin points. Chase points must be transferred in multiples of 1,000, with a minimum of 1,000 points.
If you're new to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, it's worth knowing that the airline has shifted to dynamic pricing for its own flights. While the move made every seat bookable with points, it also introduced some painfully high redemption rates on peak dates and popular routes, especially in premium cabins.
The good news is that partner airline redemptions through Flying Club are a secret weapon, as they follow traditional award charts. That means more predictable pricing, wider availability and, in many cases, dramatically lower surcharges.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
