@pointedbyjared: Chase just dropped a 40% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic… and this is one of the strongest ways to fly ANA business or first class to Japan. You can’t transfer Chase points directly to ANA. But you can transfer Chase → Virgin Atlantic Flying Club… and book ANA through Virgin. ANA business class to Tokyo normally costs 60,000–85,000 Virgin points one-way. With the 40% bonus, that drops to: • 43,000 Chase points (West Coast → Japan in business) • 60,000 Chase points (Central/East Coast → Japan in business) • ≈86,000 Chase points (ANA First Class) For a seat that regularly sells for $6,000–$15,000. Meanwhile United is charging 110K–250K+ miles for the same flights. Important: ANA awards with Virgin must usually be booked by phone. Find saver space first (I use United to search), then call Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at 800-365-9500 to ticket it. If you’re even considering Japan, this is a serious move. Comment if you’re transferring. Tell me what route you want me to break down next. Follow for more tips to supercharge your points accumulation, elevate your travel, and let’s work smarter — not harder. #travelhacks #pointsandmiles #japantravel #creditcardpoints #moneyhacks

So if it’s 60k points for business, with a 40% bonus it’s only 43k points + fees? Crazy if so

We’re on the same wavelength my friend. Just about to share about how to do this too! The ANA first class with Virgin miles is I think the best redemption you can make. So cheap with miles for such an expensive flight!

Is it easier to get these award flights from hubs? I’ve been looking from the east coast to Japan in October but can’t seem to find any award flights

What if it says “includes travel operated by ANA” and not just “Operates by ANA”? Would this still work to call and get the same flight?

Is this only for chase not for Amex? Is there a way to do this in a different way but for Amex users? Thank you!! Our goal is Japan.

Found 4-5 flights matching the 110k operated by ANA and Virgin couldn’t find any of them. Mostly phantom or duds. Way more difficult than it was a few years ago.
