Deal has ended, view more Virgin Red deals by clicking here.

The Offer

  • Capital One is offering a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Red. Normally the transfer rate is 1:1 and with this bonus it’s 1:1.3

The Fine Print

  • Valid until 3/31/23

Our Verdict

Saw the same offer late last year. I always recommend only transferring if you have a specific redemption in mind as you never know when a devaluation can happen.

Anyone having issues with Virgin Red transfers? I did a test one and the points I transferred and the bonus went through (Capital 1 sends them separately). I did a second one with bigger amount but the points I transferred didn’t go through but bonus did. (this transfer says pending still on Capital One website). Anyone have this problem?

Having this issue at the moment. Bonus points posted but transfer amount has not. Did you get this resolved? If so, how?

It was my regular amounts that didn’t post right away. It took around 3 hours before it finally did. It was showing up as pending on Capital One website though (transfer pending). Not sure if yours still shows that.

Yes, same issue. Regular transfer still hasn’t posted (going on 24 hours). Bonus points have posted in Virgin. Capital one shows pending…..frustrating.

This can be converted virgin atlantic points, correct? So 1000 cap one miles = 1300 virgin atlantic miles?

This is a fantastic deal because they are still offering cruise redemptions for 100K virgin red points for week long cruise in the Med this spring.

The answer depends on your definition of “life” and “worth”.

Cruises are mostly retirees and occasionally families with children during peak travel season, and often you have to share a table with those people during mealtimes.

With not much else to do, J fares are mostly for eating and sleeping but at least everyone minds their own business.

Actually, Virgin cruises are adult only and you do not have to share tables during dining times unless you want.

I’ve looked into cruises and I don’t really understand it. It’s a lot of booze, good-but-not-incredible food for a small room on a crowded boat with OK amenities like movies theaters, casinos, live shows, shopping, swimming pools and spas that are novel that they’re on a boat but otherwise unremarkable. And you’re constantly nickel and dimed with upsell packages, mandated gratuities and other fees to do stuff.
I guess the appeal is probably shared with the Disneyland crowd- people who want a safe choice for a place where everything around them is fairly fun and they don’t have to think or make decisions or do anything beyond booking the cruise, the way you would have to do if you said “I want to go to NY/London/Paris/Tokyo/the Maldives for two weeks”.
