December 10, 2024: We noticed that American Express launched a few new Membership Rewards® transfer bonuses for JetBlue TrueBlue and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club through the end of the year.
Here are the current Amex Membership Rewards transfer bonuses.
Current American Express transfer bonuses
Here are the current American Express Membership Rewards transfer bonuses:
- JetBlue TrueBlue: 250 points = 250 TrueBlue points. Normally 250 points = 200 TrueBlue points
- Marriott Bonvoy: 1,000 Points = 1,350 Marriott Bonvoy Points through 12/31/2024. Normally 1,000 points = 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
- Virgin Atlantic Flying Club: 1,000 Points = 1,400 Virgin Points through 12/31/2024. Normally 1,000 points = 1,000 Virgin Points.
My take: Not terribly exciting, but Virgin Atlantic is useful
I used Virgin Atlantic miles to book a business class flight on Air New Zealand earlier this year, so this transfer bonus may be useful to some looking to book an award using Virgin Atlantic’s program. Unfortunately, with the loss of the Delta One sweet-spot, Virgin Atlantic isn’t as useful as it used to be.
Marriott Bonvoy and JetBlue don’t strike me as terribly useful bonuses, but you might use this to opportunistically top off your account for an award in either program.
