On the Travel screen, switch from "Book" to "Transfer". A "Transfer to travel programs" card pops up — tap Link & transfer.
3
Pick Virgin Flying Club from the partner grid
Scroll the partner tiles to Virgin Flying Club — the ratio is 1:1 — and tap Transfer on its tile. If this is your first transfer to Virgin Flying Club, you'll be prompted to link your account by entering your member number and the name on your Virgin Flying Club profile.
4
Enter the amount and tap Transfer points
Type how many Bilt Points to move (1,000-point minimum, 1,000-point increments). Confirm the linked Virgin Flying Club account is correct, then tap Transfer points. Bilt transfers usually post within minutes — but always confirm award availability on Virgin Flying Club.com first because transfers are final.
