Quick Thoughts
Although it’s strange that this transfer bonus was notified so far ahead of time, it was potentially useful knowing that if you were planning on transferring points to Virgin in the near future as there was then the option of holding off until this bonus had started.
That could’ve caused a dilemma though. If you were planning on transferring points to Virgin, that likely meant you’d found award availability and wanted to jump on it. Waiting a couple of weeks for this Citi transfer bonus to begin therefore risked having that award availability disappear, so if you did hold off then hopefully the award(s) you were looking are still bookable.

Virgin Atlantic’s “Carrier Imposed Fees” are so outrageous that they could give twice the discount and redemptions would still generally be a bad use of miles.

So… don’t book econ VA tickets and save the point for J or F? I mean…
