The Citi ThankYou program is offering cardholders a 30% bonus on transfers to the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club though 16 March 2024 (TOMORROW), and while ordinarily this would be an offer that would only work for a relatively small number of people, right now, this transfer bonus could be a lot more useful than normal.

Buy Virgin Atlantic Points with a 70% bonus (0.89p or 1.48¢ each)
Virgin Atlantic's has brought back the best points sale that we've ever seen it run and that means that for the rest of this month, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members can buy points from 0.89 pence each (UK accounts) or from 1.48 cents each (US accounts).
Generous Virgin Atlantic status match for British Airways elites
It's probably not a coincidence that just a few days after British Airways made a mess of announcing how it plans to align all BAEC members' elite status years, that Virgin Atlantic has published one of the more generous status matches that I've seen. Unfortunately, however, if you've status marched to Virgin Atlantic in the past, you're not invited to the party.
Save 20% on most Virgin Atlantic award bookings for travel through the end of...
Virgin Atlantic has launched a new promotion in which it is discounting the points cost of most award bookings by 20%. The cost of surcharges is not being discounted and the sale is only applicable to flights taken on Virgin Atlantic (partner bookings are not included) but there may still be a few good deals to be found here.
It may make more sense than normal to use this Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus...
Chase Ultimate Rewards is currently offering cardholders a limited time 30% bonus on transfers to the Virgin Atlanic Flying Club and, ordinarily, this would be an offer that would only work for a relatively small number of people. This time, however, and for a very limited time, this transfer bonus may come in useful for more people than normal.
Save 25% on Virgin Atlantic awards through the end of the year (TATL Business...
Virgin Atlantic has launched a good award sale for travel taken through the end of the year across its entire network. Surcharges on Virgin awards continue to be disappointingly high as they're not discounted, but some of the options that this sale opens up are still pretty good.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is changing its Silver Tier seating benefits
Virgin Atlantic has announced that in a little under a week's time, the seating benefits associated with its Flying Club's Silver Tier will be changing, and while the reaction to this news will depend heavily on what fares people normally book, I suspect most people will see this as bad news.
ENDING: Chase is offering a 30% bonus for transfers to Virgin Atlantic
For those who weren't able to make the most of Amex's September Virgin Atlantic transfer bonus, Chase has been offering its own transfer bonus since early October. There are, however, less than 4 days left to get in on this deal so if a 30% bonus for transfers between Ultimate Rewards and Virgin Atlantic makes sense for you, you're running out of time to get this locked in.
Last day to book Virgin Atlantic awards with a 50% rebate
Today is the last day on which you can book select Virgin Atlantic awards and get back 50% of the points that you use in the form of a rebate. I've made no secret of the fact that I'm not a big fan of this promotion but just in case anyone reading this can make the most of it, here are all the details that you need to know.
I’m finding it very hard to get excited about Virgin Atlantic’s latest “amazing” promotion

Big news: Virgin Atlantic will join SkyTeam in 2023
Big news in the world of airline loyalty - Virgin Atlantic has announced that it will join the SkyTeam Alliance next year and this means that Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members will soon have access to more routes and more elite benefits when flying with other SkyTeam airlines.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club improves award availability…but it’s not enough
Virgin Atlantic has announced that its Flying Club loyalty program is following in the footsteps of the British Airways Executive Club and, with immediate effect, will release a minimum number of Economy Class, Premium Economy, and Business Class awards on every flight that it operates as soon as flights are loaded in the reservation systems. For fans of Virgin Atlantic, this will sound like good news but the harsh reality remains - this move doesn't go far enough.
Buy Virgin Atlantic Points with a 60% or 70% bonus (potentially a great deal)
Virgin Atlantic's has brought back the same points sale that we saw it running in December and for once, a lack of innovation is a good thing as this is one of the best deals that we've ever seen the airline offer. All Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members can buy points with a 60% bonus while Gold members are being offered a 70% bonus so, with points available from 0.89 pence each for UK accounts and from 1.60 cents each for US accounts, there's a lot of scope to book some great deals courtesy of points purchased in this sale.
Virgin Atlantic expands status match criteria (more airline programs now qualify)
Virgin Atlantic ran an excellent status match promotion in the first two months of this year but, unfortunately for most readers, it was a match that was aimed solely at British Airways Executive Club members. Now a new status match offer appears to have been launched which is considerably more inclusive.
Virgin Atlantic lowers elite status targets & offers Tier Points on Virgin Holidays bookings
Virgin Atlantic has just announced that it is lowering the elite status targets for the 12 months from 1 April 2022 as well as making elite status easier to earn for travelers who book through Virgin Holidays. The airline has also announced a gift and a nice bonus for Silver Card holders as well as a points promotion open to all that runs through March next year.
Virgin Atlantic Extends Flying Club Elite Statuses…Again
Following two 6-month status extensions in 2020 and 3-month extensions in February and May 2021, Virgin Atlantic has decided that the continuing barriers to travel faced by a lot of its customers warrant a 5th round of elite status extensions.
Virgin Atlantic Extends Elite Statuses & Vouchers By Another 3 Months
Virgin Atlantic has taken another look at the travel landscape and decided that the time is right to offer frequent flyers yet another helping hand. Following on from the two 6-month elite status extensions that Virgin Atlantic offered Flying Club members in 2020 and the 3-month extension announced in February, the airline is now extending elite statuses for the fourth time.
Earn Up To 20,000 Bonus Virgin Points On Flights To The Caribbean [UK Only]
The UK may have just come out of full lockdown but international travel is still band for all but a few, but that hasn't stopped Virgin Atlantic from launching a new promotion in which flyer can earn up to 20,000 bonus points per roundtrip made between the UK and the Caribbean.
Buy Virgin Atlantic Points & get a bonus of up to 50% (great deal...
Virgin Atlantic has launched a new points sale and this may be the first sale that we've seen from the airline in over a year (the last sale I recall seeing was back in February 2020). For some, the long wait for a deal may have been worthwhile as Virgin is offering the highest bonus that we generally see it offer (50%), and it has raised the limit on the number of points that Flying Club members can buy during a calendar year.
Virgin Atlantic Status Matches Are Appearing In Accounts
Up until yesterday, Virgin Atlantic was offering one of the more generous staus matches seen on the European side of the Atlantic (Alaska Airlines has a great match on offer in the US right now) and based on my own experience, it looks like the status matches are being processed as promised.
ENDING: Virgin Atlantic’s Excellent Status Match Promotion For British Airways Elites
Towards the beginning of January, Virgin Atlantic launched a promotion with a view to persuading BA's Executive Club elites to test the water on the other side of the fence. Since then, the airline has been offering status matches to anyone with British Airways Executive Cub status and it has even improved its original offer. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and there are under 5 days left to make the most of this promotion.
Virgin Atlantic Isn’t Devaluing Delta Awards As Badly As First Suggested
On 1 January, Virgin Atlantic published a new award chart for all Delta award bookings that did not include non-stop travel between the US and UK. Shortly after publication, it became clear that the people in charge of the award chart had no idea what they were doing and that the information being supplied was wrong. Those mistakes have now, finally, been corrected.
Virgin Atlantic Promo: 50% More Virgin Points & Tier Points For Travel In 2021
Virgin Atlantic has been doing a serious amount of tinkering with its Flying Club loyalty program in the past few months (there's been good news and bad news) and today sees the airline launching a bonus Virgin Points & Tier Points promotion that's designed to tempt the Flying Club membership back into the skies and to get people buying tickets for travel in 2021.
Standby For More Points Confusion From Virgin Atlantic
Virgin Atlantic used the cover of New Year's day (a day when a lot of people aren't paying attention to the miles & points world) to cynically increase the cost of a significant number of awards for travel with Delta without any notice whatsoever. Now, it would appear as if Virgin may be about to backtrack on some of the changes and that we may see entirely different award costs (for some routes) appear at some point this week.
Virgin Atlantic Is Considering Introducing Household Accounts For All
Earlier this year Virgin Atlantic gave its Flying Club members an early Christmas present when it announced a series of positive changes to its loyalty program. Between awarding elite credits on award bookings to making its vouchers considerably more useable, Virgin Atlantic has already used 2020 to improve the Flying Club's offering significantly. Now it may be about to improve it again.

Back on 24 September, Virgin Atlantic announced that as well as renaming its currency "Virgin Points". it would be offering double points on all bookings made by 1 October 2020. Well, today is 1 October and Virgin Atlantic has just extended the booking period by a couple of weeks.
Wow! Virgin Atlantic’s Companion Voucher Can Now Be Used Alongside Cash Fares
Virgin Atlantic took time out yesterday to announce some very positive changes to how its companion voucher will now work but amidst the excitement of all the good news we were being fed at the time, one very important change to how the Virgin Atlantic companion voucher now works doesn't appear to have been given the publicity it deserves - the companion voucher can now be used in conjunction with a cash fare.
Virgin Atlantic Announces Some Seriously Good News For Flying Club Members
If you're a fan of Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club program you're probably going to be very pleased with the news the airline released earlier today. Elite statuses have been extended, voucher expirations have been extended, vouchers have been made considerably easier to use and the path to elite status has just been made easier by a change that no other airline has thought to introduce.
Virgin Atlantic Is Extending Tier Status & Voucher Expirations + Offering Bonus Miles &...

How I’m Earning Virgin Atlantic Gold Status In Just 6 Weeks (I Think!)

Virgin Atlantic has been partnering with Air France/KLM for a number of months with all three airlines codesharing on multiple routes while allowing members of their respective loyalty programs to earn miles when booking flights on all three carriers.

Earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles On KLM & Air France Codeshares
Virgin Atlantic has recently undergone a reorganization in its ownership structure which has left Delta as the owner of the largest stake (49%) and Air France/KLM as an owner as well (31%).
Alongside this reorganisation, Virgin, Delta & Air France/KLM have applied to form a transatlantic joint venture (along similar lines to the joint venture already in place between a number of oneworld transatlantic airlines) and, a few weeks ago, that joint venture moved closer to reality as the European Union gave it the go ahead.

Don’t Ignore Virgin Atlantic Miles – There’s A Good Use That Doesn’t Get Mentioned...
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is a transfer partner for all three of the major credit card issuers (Amex, Chase and Citi) but, because the airline applies surcharges to its awards, Virgin Atlantic miles get very little love....but you shouldn't dismiss their usefulness too quickly.
Amex Is Offering Virgin Atlantic Transfer Bonuses…But They’re Targeted (USA)
No sooner has Amex's 40% transfer bonus to British Airways and Iberia ended and we get a new transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic....only this bonus isn't nearly as friendly.
Personally I'm not seeing any kind of bonus in my Membership Rewards account but Doctor of Credit has seen offers of bonuses ranging between 10% and 20% and at least one commenter has claimed he/she is seeing a bonus of 30% in their account.
How To Make The Most Of The 30% Bonus Amex Is Offering For Transfers...
Virgin Atlantic may not be an airline which automatically springs to mind when you’re considering air travel but its Flying Club loyalty program can be very useful if you know what to look for – that’s why transfer bonuses between Amex Membership Rewards and Virgin Flying Club are always worth a closer look.

Virgin Atlantic Miles Are About To Become A Bit More Interesting
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles don't often get much love from miles & points bloggers because, essentially, they really aren't all that useful for getting readers great value redemptions in good premium cabins. There is an exception to this that I discussed recently but, for premium cabin travel, Virgin Atlantic miles aren't going to get many pulses racing. Having said that, they are about to get a bit more interesting.....and possibly even more useful.
Here’s A Fantastic Use Of Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Miles
Last week Virgin Atlantic announced quite a big shake up in how it calculates the miles and tier points flyers will earn when flying on Delta and crediting their trips to the airline's Flying Club program. On top of that Virgin also changed the number of miles needed to book awards on Delta with Economy Class awards generally decreasing in cost but some Business Class award increasing in cost by over 70%.
Award costs and earnings on Delta had long been out of step with earnings and award costs for flights taken on Virgin Atlantic so it was only a matter of time before Virgin put through the changes needed to align the two - that's what last week's announcement was all about.
BREAKING NEWS: Virgin Atlantic Changes Earnings & Award Costs On Delta
Virgin Atlantic has just announced some big and wide-reaching changes to rules governing how many miles Flying Club members will earn when flying on Delta, how many Flying Club miles members will need to book awards on Delta and how many Tier Points members will earn when flying on Delta. These changes are very significant!
Major Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Changes – In Easy Summary Form
Yesterday afternoon Virgin Atlantic put though a series of major changes to its Flying Club rewards program that not many of us saw coming. The changes are widespread and affect all aspects of the Flying Club program including; how many miles are earned, how many miles are needed for award flights, what bonuses elite flyers are awarded and how many tier points flyers can earn.
I'm in the middle of a manic trip right now so, rather than dissect the changes and critique each one individually, I've put together some summary tables together with some bullet points that will hopefully illustrate what's changing and when.
