Chase transfer bonuses: Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic in May 2025

May 2, 2025: We’re pretty excited about this month’s Chase transfer bonuses: Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic through the end of May. Both of these programs are highly useful and stacking the Flying Blue bonus with the current Flying Blue promo awards can get you even more travel for your Ultimate Rewards points.

If you hold a premium Ultimate Rewards® credit card, you can transfer your Ultimate Rewards points to any one of Chase’s 11 airline transfer partners and three hotel transfer partners. Transfers to travel partners are key to maximizing the value of your Ultimate Rewards points and a transfer bonus can provide opportunity to get additional value.

Here’s what you need to know about the current Ultimate Rewards transfer bonuses.

Our take: Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic are two of our favorite partners

It should come as no surprise that we’re excited about the Flying Blue bonus. Air France KLM Flying Blue monthly promo awards is one of our favorite ways to get over to Europe and this month’s promo awards include our hometown, Minneapolis. (It looks like the stars are aligning for me to take a family trip to Europe this summer!)

We also like the transfer bonus on Virgin Atlantic Flying Club—it’s one of the most useful programs that we highlight in our coverage of Chase transfer partners. But before you transfer any Virgin Atlantic points, be sure to check out this month’s Citi transfer bonuses if you have cards that earn ThankYou Points. For most of may, you’ll be able to get a 30% bonus with that program.
