We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    The moment many Alaska Airlines customers were waiting for is here!

    Via View From the Wing, you can now convert your Virgin America points to Alaska Airlines at a ratio of 1 : 1.3.  But you will NOT be able to transfer your points back if you change your mind!

    You’ll Receive a 30% Bonus When You Convert Virgin America Points Into Alaska Airlines Miles!

    I’ll give you the details about this new development!

    Convert Virgin America Points to Alaska Airlines at a 1 : 1.3 Ratio

    The merger between Alaska Airlines and Virgin America continues to progress!

    Earlier, I reminded you you’ll be able to transfer your Virgin America points to Alaska Airlines at a ratio of 1 : 1.3 starting some time today.  And the points transfer is now live!

    All you need to do is sign-in with your Virgin America account details, then select the number of Virgin America points you’d like to convert to Alaska Airlines miles (in increments of 50).

    And you’ll automatically receive a 30% bonus when your Virgin America points are transferred to Alaska Airlines!

    So if you transfer 10,000 Virgin America points to Alaska Airlines, you’ll end up with 13,000 Alaska Airlines miles.

    There are lots of great ways to redeem Alaska Airlines miles for Big Travel.  But there’s no hurry to convert your points.  This option will likely be available until the merger is complete.

    If there’s an Alaska Airlines redemption you have in mind, it’s a good idea to book it as quickly as possible.  But before you transfer your points to Alaska Airlines, make sure there are NO Virgin America flights you’d rather redeem your points for.  Because transfers are final (you won’t be able to turn your new Alaska Airlines miles back into Virgin America points)!

    Bottom Line

    You can now transfer Virgin America points to Alaska Airlines miles.  And you’ll receive a 30% bonus!

    Before you transfer, be positive there are no Virgin America flights you’d use your Virgin America points to book.  Because you will NOT be able to transfer your points back to Virgin America after you’ve converted them to Alaska Airlines miles.
