Live Transfer Bonuses — 2026-10-15 to 2026-10-22

At a Glance

Just Launched

Capital One Miles → Virgin Atlantic Flying Club: +30% through 2026-11-20

• From: Capital One Miles
• To: Virgin Atlantic Flying Club / Virgin Red
• Bonus: +30%
• Effective rate: 1:1.3 (base ratio 1:1)
• Ends: 2026-11-20
• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: frequentmiler.com
• What: Capital One launched a new promotion giving a 30% boost on miles transferred to Virgin Atlantic/Virgin Red, with a 1,000-mile minimum transfer.
• Why it matters: It moves Capital One Miles to a 1:1.3 rate into Virgin Atlantic, a program whose award pricing is distance-based and often undercuts what partner currencies charge for the same Virgin-operated seats.

Amex Membership Rewards → Marriott Bonvoy: +35% through 2026-12-10

• From: Amex Membership Rewards
• To: Marriott Bonvoy
• Bonus: +35%
• Effective rate: see source
• Ends: 2026-12-10
• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: frequentmiler.com
• What: American Express is applying a 35% bonus to Membership Rewards transfers into Marriott Bonvoy through December 10, 2026.
• Why it matters: A 35% uplift is large by Amex-to-hotel standards, but Frequent Miler flags it as not automatically compelling — Bonvoy points carry low per-point value, so run the redemption math before moving a balance.

Transfer Program News

Bilt Rewards: JetBlue added as a 1:1 transfer partner

• From: Bilt Rewards
• To: JetBlue TrueBlue
• Effective rate: 1:1
• Source: Frequent Miler
• Link: frequentmiler.com
• What: Bilt added JetBlue TrueBlue as a transfer partner at 1:1, matching Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Rove, and beating Amex (250:200) and Capital One.
• Why it matters: Bilt Points now reach TrueBlue at the best available ratio among the major transferable currencies, and Doctor of Credit suggests holding transfers until November 1 in case a Bilt Rent Day launch bonus appears.
