Citi offers 30% bonus for ThankYou points transfer to Virgin Atlantic

With Citi's 30% transfer bonus, only 5,000 ThankYou Rewards points are needed to book a Virgin Atlantic Saver fare. These flights include benefits such as a checked bag, meals, and in-flight entertainment. Availability for these fares is high from airports like Boston Logan, Dulles, and John F. Kennedy to the United Kingdom in May, June, and September.

A local advises that these months are ideal for visiting the U.K. Flights from the U.K. to North America also start at 6,000 Virgin points under this offer, with higher fees due to the U.K. Air Passenger Duty. To locate Saver fares, travelers can use Virgin Atlantic's reward seat checker or tools like Seats.aero.

Citi offers various credit cards that earn ThankYou points, including the Citi Strata Premier℠ Card, Citi Rewards+ Card, and Citi Double Cash Card. These options cater to different spending habits, from supermarket and gas station purchases to everyday spending.

Potential users are cautioned to make informed decisions before transferring points, considering potential devaluations. However, those planning a Flying Club redemption are encouraged to transfer their Citi points by May 17 to benefit from the 30% bonus.
