Found this in my inbox, pretty much get a bonus 20% of whatever you already transfer. It's a 1:1 ratio, so it's a pretty good deal. Currently saving up for either Hong Kong for two or a trip to London for myself.

Well, I've found the Hong Kong redemption to be worthwhile though..
Agreed, Hong Kong in Upper Class is only 80,000 miles + $399.52 return (or 66,666 points transferred). Compared to Qantas for instance at 120,000 miles return for Business Class it's far better value.
This is Virgin Atlantic not Virgin Australia. I believe it goes to LA via London??
The best I've seen is 30% bonus. But it only ever appeared once.
Not worth it if you are transferring form Westpac Altitude, their points usage for flights is much better even after the 20% bonus and yes this is for virgin atlantic not virgin australia.
Strange…..I went here to check the dates
http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/au/en.html
Put in 1 Jan 13 and returning 5 Jan 13 from Syd - Hong Kong
It states that "Sorry, Flying Club Miles cannot be used for this roue"
Even if I change the dates, wont let me book
However, on the spend miles calculator, it states 80,000 miles + $399.52 on upper class??
does anyone know if points accumulated from a CBA amex card can be used for this?
Membership Rewards is offered through American Express' Ascent Program. I'm not sure if CBA amex points are counted to that or just their own scheme.
Nope, only cards issued by Amex directly. Bank issued cards use their own rewards programs.
hmmmm, don't see it in my inbox :(
is this targeted?
Sydney to LA - 147500 Miles + $974.92. It just doesn't seem worth it. Am i missing something? Transferring to V Australia and using for domestic flights usually represents good value.
