Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. has announced the addition of Virgin Atlantic as its newest Ultimate Rewards point transfer partner. A premier rewards program for cardholders that seek travel redemption alternatives that offer flexibility, ease and value, Ultimate Rewards’ new partnership allows cardholders to redeem points for travel on Virgin Atlantic.
“We are thrilled that Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club has joined Ultimate Rewards,” said Jennifer Roberts, president, Affluent & High Net Worth, Chase Card Services. “With Ultimate Rewards, our cardholders will now enjoy added flexibility that allows them to transfer and combine points with Virgin Atlantic miles. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles can be used for flights, upgrades and even unique experiences in the UK to make a trip even more memorable.”
Under this new partnership, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus and Ink Bold cardholders will now be able to instantly transfer Ultimate Rewards points to Flying Club, Virgin Atlantic’s travel rewards program. Points are transferred at full value – meaning one Ultimate Rewards point is equal to one Flying Club mile.
Points can be transferred in increments of 1,000 and there are no limits to the number of points cardholders can transfer to Flying Club. Once transferred, points can be redeemed for travel and upgrades on Virgin Atlantic, or one of many travel partners, including Air China, Air New Zealand, Cyprus Airways, Gulf Air, Hawaiian Airlines, Jet Airways, Malaysia Airlines, SAS, Singapore Airlines, South African Airlines, Virgin America and Virgin Australia.
