Citi has announced a limited-time offer for its cardholders, allowing them to get a 30% bonus when transferring ThankYou Rewards points to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Typically, ThankYou Rewards members experience a 1:1 transfer ratio, but now they will receive 1,300 Virgin points for every 1,000 points transferred. This offer lasts until May 17.
To take advantage of this offer, members must transfer in increments of 1,000 points, requiring rounding up when calculating the necessary transfer amount for an award. The promotion creates an opportunity for travelers to book economically priced flights to Europe this summer.
Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club had updated its pricing model in 2024 to dynamic pricing. Despite potential high redemption rates during peak times, the airline introduced Saver fares starting at 6,000 Virgin points. Carrier-imposed surcharges were also reduced, with fees beginning at $73.70 for flights from North America to London Heathrow and Manchester airports.
