Points Booster is back: Purchase Virgin points for amazing value
Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club offers a unique way to increase your balance by allowing you to pay an extra fee to earn many more miles on your next flights. Also, right now the bonus offer allows you to effectively purchase Virgin Points for a price far less than at which TPG values them.
It's called Points Booster, and you can choose from a:
- Single booster, and pay to earn an extra point for each mile you fly on a Virgin Atlantic flight for an extra 1.3 cents per point.
- Double booster, for 2 points for each mile flown for an extra 2.6 cents per 2 points.
- Triple booster, for 3 points for each mile flown for an extra 3.9 cents per 3 points.
If your return Virgin flight to New York is 7,000 miles flown, a single booster would earn you an additional 7,000 Virgin points, while the double booster would increase this an additional 14,000 points, and the triple 21,000 points. This is all in addition to the miles you would normally earn for the flight, and any status bonuses applicable.
Until April 22, you will receive an additional 40% Virgin points on top of the normal offer. This reduces the price to 1.3 cents per point -- which is an amazing value given TPG values these at 1.5 points each.
As these transactions are processed by Flying Club directly, you will also earn up to 3 points per $1.32 spent if paying with a Virgin Atlantic credit card, effectively further reducing the cost.
For upcoming bookings, you can add a Miles Booster online by managing your booking through the Flying Club website. This offer is also available for flights you have already flown in the past six months, but you must call the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club customer service center to boost your points retroactively. You can only boost your points one time (with a single, double or triple booster) per itinerary per person. You can boost on cash and even redemption tickets, which is a great deal.
If you've ever wanted to purchase Flying Club miles at a very low price, you must act by April 22 in order to take advantage of this great offer.
