If you are a member of American Express Membership Rewards you can transfer your Membership Rewards points, in 1,000-point increments, to your Virgin America Elevate account. Usually, 2000 American Express Membership Rewards points equals 1000 Elevate points.
But through October 8, 2015, there is a 25% transfer bonus to Virgin America Elevate. Instead of the normal 2:1 transfer ratio, the transfer ratio is 2:1.25. So, during the bonus period, when you transfer 2,000 Amex points to Virgin America Elevate, you will end up with 1,250 miles instead of 1,000.
