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

You'll all know the pain that is finding reward flights. Multiple tabs open at once, fighting airline systems that insist on logging you out every five minutes (I'm looking at you Virgin Atlantic, Qatar Airways etc). This, in part, is why we created our Avios calculator, because nowhere else online allows you to directly compare the Avios pricing among all the Avios airlines, and we felt like that was important. Meanwhile, for a user friendly experience that allows you to act

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

If you're fairly new to this, or you've got a stash of Avios you're a bit scared of spending wrong, here's some good news. We've made all the mistakes for you! Most of what we know about Avios and points, we learned by getting it wrong first, and inevitably that cost us. You'll see online people claiming to have optimised every point, never wasted a voucher, and they read every word of the terms before applying. I've not always been that person, and if I'm being honest, I'd b

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 4 June to 7 July 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 4 June and 7 July 2026: Under 5,000 points: no bonus 5,000 – 39,000 points: 20% bonus 40,000 – 79,000 points: 40% bonus

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
