This promotion is available until December 31, 2024, and allows cardholders to receive 1,400 Virgin points for every 1,000 Membership Rewards points transferred.

The transfer bonus can be utilized by holders of several American Express cards, including The Platinum Card from American Express and the American Express Gold Card.
