Last Chance: 4 Major Transfer Bonuses and Delta Offers Ending This Week
Time is running out to maximize your points. Several high-value transfer bonuses and elevated credit card offers are set to expire mid-July. If you’ve been sitting on a stash of points or considering a new Delta card, now is the moment to act.
Expiring Transfer Bonuses (Ending July 14-15)
Transfer bonuses allow you to get more airline miles or hotel points for every credit card point you move. Here are the key deadlines:
- Chase to Virgin Atlantic (30% Bonus): Ends July 14. This is excellent for SkyTeam flights or Virgin Atlantic’s own Upper Class.
- Amex to Hilton Honors (20% Bonus): Ends July 14. Useful for topping off an account for a high-end Hilton stay.
- Amex to Avianca LifeMiles (15% Bonus): Ends July 15. A reliable way to book United and Star Alliance flights for fewer points.
- Delta Elevated Offers: Many of the increased welcome offers on the Delta SkyMiles suite of cards are also hitting their deadlines this week.
Bonus and Spend Requirements
For the transfer bonuses, the math is simple:
- Virgin Atlantic: 1,000 Chase points = 1,300 Virgin points.
- Hilton: 1,000 Amex points = 2,400 Hilton points (standard 1:2 + 20% bonus).
- Avianca: 1,000 Amex points = 1,150 LifeMiles.
PointsGobbler Verdict
The 30% Chase to Virgin Atlantic bonus is the standout here. It effectively lowers the cost of many business-class awards significantly. However, never transfer points speculatively. Only move them if you have a specific redemption in mind and have confirmed award availability. With these offers ending in the next 48-72 hours, it’s time to find that flight and book it.
Disclaimer: Always confirm transfer ratios and offer expirations on your credit card portal before initiated a transfer.
