If you're looking to add up to 10,000 Virgin Atlantic points to your Flying Club balance, you're in luck with this current promotion. And the eligible travel period is gracious, to say the least — through June 30, 2024. The booking window? Not so much. You've got until February 18 to book your trip.
Here's a look at how you can score up to 10k bonus points with this Virgin Atlantic promotion.
Virgin Atlantic Promotion for up to 10K Points
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club has some incredible sweet spots, and the airline has been on a tear in recent history, adding new rules for access to its flagship lounge in London, adding an award seat calendar, online bookings for LATAM awards, and even sprinkling in the occasional award sale. Now, Virgin Atlantic is offering up to 10,000 bonus points with a promotion for round-trip flights over the next several months.
Notice that this is “up to” 10k points. How much you earn will depend on the cabin you fly in:
- Upper Class (business class): 10,000 bonus points
- Premium Economy: 5,000 bonus points
- Economy: 2,000 bonus points
Even better, these bonus points come in addition to the standard points you'll already earn by flying.
Key terms
With this promotion, there are a few key terms you'll want to pay attention to:
- Must add your Flying Club number to your booking
- Applies to bookings made through February 18, 2024.
- Travel February 11, 2024–June 30, 2024.
- Economy bookings include Classic and Delight fares but not Light.
- Bonus points numbers are based on round-trip bookings; you'll earn half the points for one-way bookings.
- Award redemption flights are not eligible.
- Bonus points will be awarded within five days of qualifying flights.
- Flights must be operated and marked by Virgin Atlantic to qualify.
- Existing bookings for flights outside the travel period will not qualify, even if you change the dates to fall within the travel period.
- If you have an existing booking and use a voucher or points to upgrade to a higher fare, you'll receive bonus points based on your original fare — not the upgraded fare.
- Details are available on Virgin Atlantic's promo webpage.
Our Take
This promotion is great for anyone already planning to travel with Virgin Atlantic, as you'll be able to add bonus points to reservations you were going to make anyway. For others, there are numerous restrictions to consider: needing to book Virgin Atlantic flights only, getting just half the points for one-way bookings, and the exclusion of the cheapest economy fares. How much are the points worth? AwardWallet users typically redeem Virgin points at 3.64¢ each.
It's probably not worth altering your travel plans to go out of your way for these points. If the promotion aligns with travel plans you were ready to book, then this could be a great offer.
