Last Chance: Virgin Points 70% Bonus Ends Today!
Virgin Atlantic's unprecedented 70% bonus offer on buying Virgin Points concludes today, Sunday, October 12th. This deal, matching the highest bonus ever seen, is an opportune moment for members to top up their points balance for future redemptions. The standard annual purchase limit of 200,000 points was temporarily doubled to 400,000 for this promotion, meaning with the 70% bonus, members could acquire up to 680,000 Virgin Points.
The bonus structure is tiered: 20% for 5,000-24,000 points, 40% for 25,000-69,000 points, 60% for 70,000-124,000 points, and the maximum 70% for purchases between 125,000 and 400,000 points. Points are priced at £15 per 1,000. Opting for the top tier, 400,000 points (totaling 680,000 with bonus) costs £6,000, reducing the effective price per point to an exceptionally low 0.88p. While this is a highly competitive rate for direct miles purchases, the article advises against speculative buying.
Benefits extend beyond Virgin Atlantic flights. Although dynamic pricing can complicate Upper Class redemptions, good value is currently available for destinations like New York, Boston, Orlando, Atlanta, and Washington. Points can also be redeemed across SkyTeam partners such as Air France, KLM, and Delta Air Lines. Furthermore, Virgin Points unlock unique experiences like VIP access to The O2's Virgin Red Room suite, with upcoming events featuring artists like Raye, Rick Astley, Katy Perry, and Florence + The Machine, alongside shows like Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour, offering tickets for 30,000-75,000 points for two. After today, the 70% bonus and increased purchase limit will revert.
