How to extend Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles expiry date
A traveller friend of mine has some 36,000 miles and a silver status about to expire because she hasn’t flown recently.
I telephoned Virgin Atlantic yesterday to check, because their website isn’t 100% clear regarding extension of miles.
Please note that we’re discussing miles here, not status. There’s nothing you can do about your status.
The cheapest and most effective way to extend the life of your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles is to logon to your account and DONATE 1,000 miles to “Free the Children”
Yes, that’s correct, not “save” the children but “free” the children!
Such activity will renew your account for another 3 years.
There are alternatives. You can buy miles but at £30 for 1,000 that’s very poor value. Or you can spend miles at Virgin Wine for example – 12,500 miles provides a £50 voucher
But we believe that the donation avenue is the most cost effective.
STOP PRESS!
If you travel Premium economy or Upper class with Virgin we have access to fares that may be cheaper than online. Contact us.
