If you have 32,000 Amex points you have enough points for a round trip flight to Copenhagen. Amex is running a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and it ends July 31. Every 1,000 Amex points becomes 1,300 Virgin points. Virgin is in SkyTeam with Scandinavian Airlines. That means you can book SAS flights using Virgin points. JFK to Copenhagen nonstop in economy starts at 41,000 Virgin points round trip. After the bonus that's 32,000 Amex points. The same flight sells for $832. But it gets even better. That exact nonstop in business is 120,000 Virgin points. After the bonus that's 93,000 Amex points against a $7,099 fare. ✅ Economy: 32,000 Amex points vs $832 cash. Over 2.2 cents per point. ✅ Business: 93,000 Amex points vs $7,099 cash. Over 7 cents per point. Premium economy is the dead zone. 74,000 Amex points for a $1,762 fare lands at the same 2.2 cents as economy. Taxes are $5.60 leaving the US and about $100 coming home. Virgin's own flights and Air France awards booked through Virgin cost far more in fees. They pass fuel surcharges. SAS does not. Find the seat on Virgin's site first. Then transfer. Transfers cannot be reversed. Three days left. Drop any questions in the comments and I'll answer them.
