Virgin Points/Virgin Atlantic

I receive emails all the time regarding different offers from various companies promoting this or that. Well, they've built up and I didn't know what to do with them all (I couldn't even think of a good headline, suggestions in the comments please), so here is a rundown on some of the best offers I've been sent ranging from 45,000 bonus Virgin Points to free Disney dining, 25% off SAS reward flights, discounted Hilton points, and extra Nectar on your eBay shopping, enjoy! Ame

Virgin Red has launched a 30% bonus on Tesco Clubcard voucher exchanges, running from today until 30 June 2026. The bonus stacks on top of the standard 1 Clubcard point = 2 Virgin Points, meaning that 1,000 Clubcard points will come out as 2,600 Virgin Points instead of 2,000. But there's obviously a catch. Manual exchange only, and you've probably set them to auto-convert If you took advantage of the 5,000 Virgin Point sign-up bonus Virgin and Tesco ran a few times in the la

Virgin Atlantic has confirmed it won't be operating its seasonal Heathrow-Dubai route this coming winter. The 2025/26 season was already cut short on 7 March due to the conflict in the region, so this is two consecutive winters of cancellations. Heathrow-Seattle is also being paused for the winter, returning in March 2027. Instead they're giving both Heathrow-Cape Town and Heathrow-Johannesburg extra flights this winter. Affected customers should start hearing from Virgin soo

We've been writing Points Well Made for over a year now and I haven't really told you much about myself. Perhaps it's time to fix that with explaining how I found myself in the points world, and how that led to us starting Points Well Made. There's a standard points-blog origin story. City job, corporate travel, expensive American Express. Mine doesn't really go like that. I don't work in London, and I don't travel for work. Also, my first American Express was a free one. So

It's been a busy few weeks for card offers. Amex has refreshed both Gold and Platinum. The Marriott Bonvoy Amex is back at triple. Virgin Money has doubled both Virgin Atlantic cards. Hilton has refreshed both debit cards with a boosted bonus on the Plus. Five separate articles in three weeks felt like enough excuse to pull them into one place. Here's a quick rundown on the rewards cards with offers, with the full breakdowns linked if you want to look further into any of them

Virgin Money has today launched boosted welcome bonuses on both of its Virgin Atlantic credit cards, running until 18 May 2026. If you have been thinking about picking up one of these cards, this is the strongest offer we have seen since the autumn, and a solid opportunity to build up a decent stash of Virgin Points before summer. Today we are going to break down both offers, explain who is eligible, and help you figure out which card actually makes sense for you. Why does th

You'll know that Virgin Atlantic charges taxes and fees on every reward flight booked with Virgin Points, ranging from around £60 to over £700 depending on the route, cabin, and direction. As of early April 2026, these charges are now the same regardless of how many points you pay. Here's what's changed to reward flights, and the full list of taxes and fees for all of Virgin Atlantic's routes if you pay using Virgin Points. How Virgin Atlantic reward fares used to work When V

Yes, you read that right. We're writing about Marks & Spencer's loyalty programme. Bear with us. M&S has just relaunched Sparks, and ordinarily that would not be something we'd cover on a site about miles and points. But the revamp comes with a new partnership between Sparks and Virgin Red, and that bit is very much our territory. What's changed with Sparks? The original version of Sparks gave you points for shopping, but you couldn't spend them. Instead, you'd hit thresholds

Virgin Atlantic has launched a limited-time promotion aimed at leisure travellers, offering a fast-track to Silver status through a single holiday booking, and a chance to make Gold. It’s one of the most generous Tier Point offers we’ve seen Virgin Atlantic offer, but as always, the detail matters, so keep reading on!

Guess what is back? It's Bargain Bin time!! I've been digging through Virgin Atlantic’s wonderfully chaotic dynamic pricing to find the redemptions that are good value… and a few that absolutely aren't! Those are at the bottom of the article if you feel the need to projectile spit your tea/wine/water over your phone/tablet/laptop/however you read our wonderful updates. As always I have used vseats.io for this article. This is not an ad, it's just my preferred way to find the
