Most recently, targeted emails have gone out with an offer of 6,000 bonus points for Flying Club members who\u2019ve never linked their account to Virgin Red.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of those rare chances to earn bonus points without spending a dime.

But, if you're a lucky member, free points just for linking your accounts is an easy win. We always like to see these kinds of offers, similar to when airlines and hotels give <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/travel\/new-member-bonuses\/\" rel=\"noopener\">bonus points simply for becoming a new member<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>AwardWallet members have recently redeemed Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points for an average of 3.55\u00a2 each. While Virgin Red offers some unique redemption options, travelers will usually find the best value through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Just keep in mind that not all Virgin Red brands are available to U.S. members.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there's no reason not to link your accounts if you're targeted for this offer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Virgin_Flying_Club_vs_Virgin_Red\">Virgin Flying Club vs Virgin Red<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Get_6k_Bonus_Points_for_Linking_Virgin_Atlantic_with_Virgin_Red_Targeted\">Get 6k Bonus Points for Linking Virgin Atlantic with Virgin Red (Targeted)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Our_Take\">Our Take<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Targeted Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members who\u2019ve never linked their account to Virgin Red can now do so and earn 6,000 bonus points.
