Virgin Points/Virgin Atlantic

Virgin Trains Ticketing is running two offers until 19th April that are worth knowing about if you collect Virgin Points and travel by train. But before we get into it I need to clear something up. Virgin Trains Ticketing works with any operator across the UK. It's a common misconception that the booking system is only for Virgin Trains (even though Virgin Trains hasn't been a thing since 2019), but I use it where I live for South West Trains all the time. If you haven't used

The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Heathrow has had a facelift. The first phase of a redesign is now complete, and it brings some interesting additions to what was already one of the better airline lounges at the airport. We've covered the Clubhouse in detail in our full review , but here's what's new. The Gallery Virgin has expanded the seating in The Gallery, with the redesign leaning into a London-inspired aesthetic. This includes artwork commissioned from UK-based artists,

If you've signed up for an American Express card where you're eligible for a welcome bonus, you'll have a minimum spend requirement. For the Amex Gold, it's typically £3,000 in three months to get the welcome bonus. For the Platinum welcome bonus, it's £6,000. That's a fair amount to put through a card, especially if Amex isn't widely accepted where you normally shop. But lets say you're just short of hitting the amount, how about buying a gift card? This strategy works for a

Club Avolta, the loyalty programme behind the World Duty Free shops and Hudson News in the US and Canada, is running a status match that hands you 12 months of free Platinum membership. The headline draw 10% off in participating stores, which for anyone passing through a UK airport is worth five minutes of your time to apply. But it also

Story-time! A couple of weeks ago, we published a guide explaining what airline status actually is , because despite how often people talk about Bronze, Silver and Gold, it’s all surprisingly fuzzy around the edges. While writing it, I was reminded of one of my favourite moments from our points journey. A genuine accident and a total fluke. The best part? It was an error that resulted in three years of high-level airline status with both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, d

Virgin Atlantic are up to their shenanigans again, gesticulating at you more aggressively than an Uncle Sam poster looking for soldiers during wartime. If you hold Bronze or Silver status with the British Airways Club, Virgin Atlantic will not only match your status, they're going to upgrade it, for free. Yes, you heard me. BA Silver gets you Flying Club Gold, and BA Bronze gets you Flying Club Silver. Normally, they'll only match like-for-like, but this goes one better than

We’re back in the Bargain Bin once again, rummaging through Virgin Atlantic’s dynamic pricing in search for the really good, cheap fares that we know you love, and honestly, February through April 2026 is quietly stacked. This time, we've also included some frankly laughable redemptions too with prices in the hundreds of thousands! If you’ve been sitting on a pile of Virgin Points wondering when to strike, this could be your sign. From 6,000-point economy legs to Premium retu

The ever popular Tesco Clubcard to Virgin Points bonus promotion is back for another round! Virgin/Tesco are once again giving away 5,000 Virgin Points to new auto-exchange sign-ups. But I do want to have a little moan this time... More on that at the bottom of the article. Most of you will have taken advantage of these deals before, but it's worth sharing with you in case you haven't. Perhaps you know someone who would benefit from this? If you're a Tesco Clubcard holder and

If you're trying to decide where to focus your loyalty, you've probably found yourself wondering: should I be collecting Virgin Points or Avios? Which are better? Is Avios better than Virgin Points? British Airways' Avios and Virgin Atlantic's Virgin Points represent two different philosophies: fixed-price reliability versus dynamic-pricing flexibility. By understanding these differences, you should get a better understanding of what will work for you. Let's break down which
