Chase to Virgin 30% bonus expires today: target ANA first/business

The 30% Chase Ultimate Rewards to Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus ends July 14. Virgin's dynamic pricing on its own metal makes most redemptions poor, but the partner chart for ANA remains a standout. After the bonus, New York-Tokyo roundtrip costs just 74,000 Chase points in business or 131,000 in first. Also look for one-way Virgin Premium Economy from Los Angeles to London at 13,000 Chase points plus $294 in surcharges. Only transfer after confirming award availability.

The play: Check ANA award space on your preferred dates, then transfer the exact Chase points needed before the bonus cutoff.
