35% Transfer Bonus From AMEX to Virgin Atlantic and Hilton
From now until December 29, 2012 you can receive a 35% transfer bonus when transferring AMEX Membership Reward (MR) points to Virgin Atlantic. This is a great way to build up your Hilton account since Virgin Atlantic points transfer 1:2 with Hilton. This effectively gives you a 1:2.7 tranfer rate. In other words, 10,000 MR points = 27,000 Hilton points. Here are the program details: 1) You must have a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account. It's very easy to join. 2) You must transfer a minimum of 10,000 points from MR to Virgin Atlantic, then in increments of 5000 MR points. (15,000, 20,000, 25,000, etc). If you are transferring them to Hilton, you need to take and extra step to convert the Vigin Atlantic miles to Hilton points. 3) It says that transfers can take up to 30 days to occur, so it's no good if you need to book NOW! 4) Offer ends 12/29/12. I recently applied and was approved for the AMEX Business Gold credit card that came with a 2-day only 75,00
