Unlock The Best June 2025 Chase Transfer Bonuses

by Brad Lightall | June 18, 2025 | 0 Comments

I’ve always been fascinated by the power of loyalty programs and how they can transform everyday spending into extraordinary travel opportunities. Right now, Chase Ultimate Rewards® points are lighting up the stage with their June 2025 transfer bonuses, and I couldn’t wait to dive in and share some creative ways to leverage them for premium cabins, streamlined redemptions, and more.

Chase’s June 2025 Transfer Highlights

Chase's May 2025 Transfer Highlights

This month, Chase is offering a 30% transfer bonus to Avios and continuing a solid 25% bonus to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club until June 15, 2025. I’ve observed that such promotions tend to appear around peak travel seasons, helping folks capitalize on their vacation plans without breaking the bank. According to industry data, when banks roll out these elevated transfer promotions, there’s often a surge in award bookings—proof that people really do value these limited-time offers.

In my own travels, I’ve found that timing is everything. In the past, a transfer bonus saved me over 10,000 points on a transatlantic flight, because I moved points just days before booking. It feels great knowing I still had a points buffer for unexpected getaways. Note that transferring on premium cards—Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, or Ink Business Preferred—tends to yield the most flexibility, letting you pick from 11 airlines and 3 hotels for maximum coverage.

One key factor is verifying your award availability with partners like British Airways or Aer Lingus before you transfer. As with many loyalty programs, once you move points to a partner, there’s no refund policy to shift them back to Chase. That’s why I always double-check my flights, track potential hidden surcharges, and confirm that the exact seats or rooms I want are up for grabs.

Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic Bonuses

Flying Blue stretches your points further by frequently running monthly promo awards on routes from the U.S. to Europe, and June’s highlight includes departures from Minneapolis. With the 25% bonus on transfers, I’ve managed to drop business class flight costs significantly—making a trip to Paris or Amsterdam well within reach. A recent study suggests that more travelers are warming up to Flying Blue thanks to the consistent promo awards, especially when paired with these transfer boosts.

Meanwhile, the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club’s 25% transfer bonus is another gem. Since Virgin Atlantic partners with carriers like Delta, I’ve scored some great value flights heading to New York and beyond. In one instance, I leveraged the bonus for a spontaneous weekend trip, saving almost 15,000 points in the process. It’s a small but satisfying victory that adds up when you book multiple flights throughout the year.

I recommend systematically comparing airline options rather than transferring points impulsively to just one program. While both Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic provide sweet-spot redemptions, it pays to check which route, class of service, and taxes will net you the best overall deal.

How to Maximize Your Transfers

How to Maximize Your Transfers

It’s no secret that World of Hyatt remains a strong contender among hotel partners, typically delivering around 2.2 cents per point. However, in June 2025, airline transfers are stealing the spotlight with these extra bonuses. I’ve personally run the numbers on a trip to Las Vegas—flying in showstopping business class to and from LAX—and discovered that transferring to a partner airline gave me more value than a simple portal booking.

Before any big move, I suggest running at least a quick cost-benefit analysis. According to a recent loyalty industry report, nearly 30% of travelers regret transferring points prematurely because they overlooked basic math. For instance, if an airline’s mileage requirement is already high, even a 25% bonus might not shift the needle enough to justify losing the flexibility of your Ultimate Rewards points.

Don’t forget that as soon as you transform points into miles, the respective airline’s or hotel’s expiration policies start ticking. Keep a note of deadlines—especially if you’re not traveling soon. Ultimately, I’ve found that with a bit of research, one can pinpoint those flights that truly multiply the value of these promotions.

Key Points to Remember

Key Points to Remember

First, confirm your award space before transferring. This can be as simple as logging into the frequent flyer program’s portal or calling the airline directly to verify availability. In my experience, there’s nothing worse than converting thousands of points only to realize your dream seat is out of reach.

Second, keep track of multiple program policies. While I admire how programs like Flying Blue keep your miles alive for 24 months with activity, others can expire miles even sooner. Honest planning goes a long way here—be transparent with yourself about how soon you’ll travel and which redemption you’ll realistically use.

Finally, remember that this competitive environment works to our advantage. Chase is motivated to launch transfer bonuses when rival issuers like Citi or Capital One do the same. This healthy marketplace means deals can pop up at any time. I’ve observed that advanced notice for such promos is rarely longer than a few weeks, so staying informed and ready is key to making the most of them.

Final Thoughts

Final Thoughts

Overall, I find June 2025 to be a particularly exciting month for Chase Ultimate Rewards enthusiasts. The timing of these transfer bonuses—which often coincide with post-spring break cabin fever—offers an excellent opportunity to stack up your travel plans. Even if you’re not flying immediately, locking in a deal while seats last can be a game-changer.

Balance is everything. I encourage you to weigh these promotions carefully against your broader travel needs. Let your preferences—whether booking European excursions or short domestic hops—dictate where your points are best deployed. With a little strategic offline planning (pen and paper, if you’re like me), you can walk away with a redemption you’ll be bragging about for months.

Brad Lightall’s Take

I love seeing fresh data that confirms just how impactful these transfer bonuses can be. It validates my belief that paying attention to limited windows can drastically change the caliber of your travels. By crunching the numbers and doing a bit of detective work, you can be the savvy flyer who gets the best return on investment.

These offers loop me back to the reason I keep exploring: every trip is an invitation to learn something new. With these June 2025 bonuses, I see a shining opportunity for the ultimate travel triumph, from fun weekend getaways to major bucket-list adventures.
