American Express Membership Rewards - Amex MR - Virgin Atlantic transfer time

Anyone have any experience with how long a transfer takes from MR to Virgin?

Thanks,

In my experience the transfer is instantaneous if done online. Of course there is no guarantee that Amex or VS will not experience a system problem on the day you try it.

The transfer was instantaneous for me once the link between American Express and Virgin was up.

The link was down when I first tried, so my first transfer attempts failed with an error both online and by phone with a CSR. But once the link was up, the transfer was instantaneous.

Same for me. Transfer was instantaneous.

I transferred some on Monday, they went onto my Virgin account yesterday, so 2 days for me.

Ditto - I transferred the miles and was told by Amex that it could take 24hrs - I checked my Virgin account an hour later and they were all there and I called into Virgin and used the miles right away.

I seem to recall reading that Virgin UC flights booked with miles were not eligible for UC lounge access. Is this correct?

Not so - you only get the limo transfers on paid J/D class tickets but you get all the other perks with redemptions.

I was told the same -- lounge yes, limo no.
