Last chance for the 20-30% bonus on Amex Membership Rewards transfers

If you were targetted back in January to receive a 20%-30% bonus on your Membership Rewards transfers to British Airways Executive Club, Virgin Flying Club, Etihad Guest or Finnair, then remember that February 15th is the last day to initiate your transfer.

My original article on this deal, together with things you should consider before making a transfer, is here.

Remember that the bonus will NOT post immediately.

The BA, Etihad and Finnair bonuses are due by 15 April.  Virgin is more efficient and promises it by March 11th!

And before anyone asks …. if you did not receive the e-mail back in January, you will not receive the bonus.
