So I have 85k hyatt points
110k IHG points
90k Marriott points
And 40k SPG points, so for hotels, I am not worried.
I need airline ticket.
The cheapest one is with Virgin America for 800$
And I have 65k Amex points, so I need more.
I have 31k delta points and 61k American airlines points, and 26k Barclay miles.
So what would be the best option to transfer points to Virgin America?
And I need it fast, because I am planning trip on August 12.
You can transfer the 40K Starwood points to Virgin America and receive 50K Virgin America miles. Your Amex points transfer 2:1 so if you transferred them as well you could have approx 82K Virgin America miles. No idea if that's enough because don't know your home airport.

65k amex MRs is enough to fly two people round trip economy. Transfer to flying blue will let you fly on delta for 30k miles each round trip, even from the east coast. I would start reserving your hotels now because they might sell out fast.
You can use your barclay miles for any travel related expenses, if its the arrival plus, remember you will end up with some points being held hostage afterwards: https://www.loopholetravel.com/2016/03/16/barclay-arrival-redemption-math-lesson-optimize-your-miles/

Ok So I used 65k MR points and 36k SPG to transfer to Virgin America and get 2 tickets that cost 800$ per ticket.
Than I used 90k and 125$ for 5 nights in Hyatt on Maui.
And 80k marriott points for 2 nights in marriott on Oahu.
And I paid 600$ for 2 more nights in Hyatt in Honolulu
So I still have my IHG, Arrival, Delta and AA points.
Nice!

Nice job. Just paid entire upcoming (hotel) stay via points. Airfare RT thru Alaska (FC on sale). Enjoy your island hopping
I assume those were first class tickets or business class? Why would u waste the virgin points when you could have saved them, and another 5k amex mrs, and flew delta using flying blue?

Maybe he prefers Virgin and he said that they were the cheapest ticket. You can not tell whether it was better to fly on Delta with JetBlue miles without knowing his home airport and whether there were Delta award seats even available thru JetBlue
