Virgin Points/Virgin Atlantic

Got a trip you're a few points short of? Virgin Atlantic, via Virgin Red, are running another buy points promotion with up to 70% bonus when you buy or gift Virgin Points. It runs from 1 September to 4 October 2026. If you've got a redemption lined up and you're just shy of the points, this is worth a look. So what's the deal, how many bonus points do I get? Between 1 September to 4 October 2026: Under 5,000 points: no bonus 5,000 – 39,000 points: 20% bonus 40,000 – 79,000 po

By now I'm sure you know the BA Premium Plus Amex is having its Avios earn rate trimmed, from 1.5 Avios per £1 down to 1.25 from 7 October, with the 3 Avios earn rate on BA and BA Holidays spend also being reduced down to 1.25 Avios per £1 spent. Whilst the cuts to the Avios earn rate captured most of our attention as points collectors, it is the other half of the announcement that I want to bring your focus towards. Amex isn't just taking Avios away with the change to the BA

Virgin Trains Ticketing are running two offers currently. Book a train ticket by 20 September 2026 and you'll earn six Virgin Points per £1 instead of the usual three, and buy a digital Railcard in the same window and you'll get 2,000 bonus points on top. We covered the last time this offer ran back in March. All of the details are the same, apart from the finishing date.

I'm currently going through one of life's many pleasures by talking (screaming internally) to Virgin Media attempting to renew our broadband for another year, pleading for a price that doesn't make me want to go through the switching to another provider because I'm already quite busy, something I'm sure you can relate to! Considering how my live chat experience is going, I may soon be looking for a new broadband provider, which gives me an excuse to shop around on the Avios S

Virgin Red and Tesco Clubcard have restarted the 30% bonus on voucher exchanges. It runs from today until 23:59 on 23 September 2026, and it works exactly as it did before. The bonus sits on top of the standard 1 Clubcard point = 2 Virgin Points, so 1,000 Clubcard points come out as 2,600 Virgin Points instead of the usual 2,000. Manual and auto exchange are two different things Tesco gives you two ways to turn Clubcard vouchers into Virgin Points. Auto-exchange is the set an

There's been a bit of a Virgin Red Room focus for us right now, but this will be the last for a while, I promise! There are 57 shows bookable right now at the Virgin Red Room using your Virgin Points, from August 2026 through to April 2027, and we thought we'd put them down for you all in price order. So here they all are, cheapest first, starting from only 10,000 Virgin Points. What the Virgin Red Room is The Virgin Red Room is a private box inside The O2, positioned central

Most people collecting Virgin Points are saving them for a flight, and this is normally what we'd be doing, but in all honesty, I was bored one day and wanted to book us something to look forward to. In that vein, did you know that Virgin Red has a private suite inside the O2 arena in London called the Virgin Red Room, and you can book it for almost any show there using points rather than money? You book the whole thing through Virgin Red directly in about the time it takes t
