We’ve just seen Capital One introduce its latest transfer bonus, and it has the potential to represent a very good deal…

Capital One to Virgin 30% transfer bonus details
Between September 2 and October 1, 2025, it’s possible to get a 30% bonus when you transfer miles from Capital One to the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club program. This promotion is being offered on Capital One’s end, so you should see the bonus at the time that you make the transfer.
The transfer ratio is usually 1:1, so through this promotion you can transfer miles at a 1,000:1,300 ratio. The 30% bonus should post at the same time as the standard rewards. There’s no registration required, and no limit to how many bonus points you can earn. Transfers from Capital One to Virgin Atlantic are generally instant.
We see bonuses from various transferable points currencies to Virgin Atlantic every so often, in the range of 20-40%. So if you’re in the market for earning some Virgin Atlantic points, this is a good opportunity.
Is earning Virgin Atlantic points worth it?
Virgin Atlantic is definitely a frequent flyer program with more niche redemption opportunities. In addition to being able to redeem Flying Club points for travel on Virgin Atlantic, there’s also good value to be had for redemptions on Air New Zealand, All Nippon Airways, and Delta.
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.
Beyond that, Virgin Atlantic has several airline partners, some of which are more lucrative than others. Probably the best use of Flying Club points is for travel in ANA first & business class. You can find the redemption rates below.
Paying 45,000-47,500 Flying Club points for a one-way business class ticket between the United States and Japan is a phenomenal value to start with. Then when you consider the 30% transfer bonus, that means you could be paying significantly fewer Capital One miles. First class can also be a good deal.
All Nippon Airways’ new first & business class are amazing products as well. The major catch is that availability can be really tough to come by.
Bottom line
Between September 2 and October 1, 2025, you can receive a 30% bonus when you transfer miles from Capital One to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. This bonus is being offered on Capital One’s end, so you should see the bonus right away, and can take advantage of this as often as you’d like.
This has the potential to be a good deal for redemptions on Virgin Atlantic, SkyTeam partners, and the program’s non-alliance partners.
Do you plan on converting Capital One miles into Virgin Atlantic points with this bonus?
Consistent VS flyer here with a bank of points. I live in LA and I’ve tried my damndest over the last 5 years to find ANA biz & 1st rewards, not once have I ever found a seat. Even had the rep on the phone go through every date spanning over 2 months to no avail. I’m sceptical they actually exist.
Thks for this...a great opportunity. Signing up for a VS account right now!
Virgin Atlantic miles can also be converted over to Virgin Red allowing you to book Virgin Voyages cruises with points. This can present a solid valuation if a Virgin cruise is your thing.
Best timing. I’m about to close cap1 venture X due to priority pass change. This is a great opportunity to burn the points. Thanks for sharing the news.
hope similar transfer bonus offers either from MR or UR will be available soon.... I intend to use on Saudia.
