    Hi,

      It will go on automatically when they land at Tesco.

  Tesco Clubpoints = Uber rides coming?

  BA would surely have to run some decent promotions to avoid people diverting their redemptions from air to road?

  “you only get the bonus if you have never converted Clubcard vouchers to Virgin Atlantic before”

  That’s not true, I got the bonus even though I’ve converted many times before.

  • James says:

    I converted mine almost straight after I received them and also got the 10% bonus. Definitely not the first time I’ve converted them.

  • Rob says:

    I just tell you what the rules say ….

• Randa says:

  I also got the additional 10% despite previous conversions

  Speaking from experience, Virgin FC are very good at taking away incorrectly awarded points many months down the line. So you have them now, doesn’t mean they’ll still be there in 6 months.

  • Tracy says:

    Totally agree, bought a tv in November, just had the 9000 airmiles deducted from my account last month, having to argue with virgin to get them reinstated.

  • Leo says:

    It’s a constant battle. They have credited me with 7K points over the last month – no reason. They will be whipped away unceremoniously in say 6-12 months. They always get you in the end – but they are slow to do it.

    80,000ish taken over last 2 months linked to past Hilton stays. Totally random it seems.

      80,000?? How much do you spend at Hilton ??

  I got a 10% bonus when i convereted on the 20th May, and ive converted multiple times through out the years.

  Is 10% going to be as good as it gets now? When was it last higher than that?

  • Rob says:

    12 Jun12 June 08:56

    Quite a while …. it has been a gradual slide from 50% …..

      Rob, any news on a bonus on Virgin Milesbooster?

      • David says:

        12 Jun12 June 09:44

        Im hoping for the same thing ! Got a MAN-JFK in mid-Oct in Premium, and want to do a double miles boost, but im holding off right now in case a promotion comes up.

      • Rob says:

        12 Jun12 June 10:02

        No

        • David says:

          12 Jun12 June 11:32

          Straight to the point !! lol 🙂

          I was on my phone when I typed it!

  OT – apologies, I have posted this before but really hoping someone can provide some info on transferring a current year ISA into Virgin for the 8000 point bonus. I’m pretty sure people have said they’ve been successful at this in the past but looking at the terms there’s no mention of transfers and the form to do the transfer doesn’t give anywhere to put your flying club number. Maybe I could just attach a covering letter? Any information or advice gratefully received. Thanks.

  • Wally1976 says:

    12 Jun12 June 09:15

    Also there is nowhere on the transfer form to set up the £100 regular payment which would be required for the 8000 point bonus as the transfer amount is less than £2500. Any ideas?

    • Graeme says:

      Wouldn’t you be better approaching Virgin Money directly with this question for a definitive response – or perhaps you already have…

      • Wally1976 says:

        12 Jun12 June 14:38

        I have an aversion to calling companies about things like this. Generally they don’t know their own rules and so I trust people’s experiences on here more! But yes, maybe I’ll have to call them…

    • Genghis says:

      I remember you saying that you would like to transfer a “current” ISA. Does that mean an ISA you have paid into in 17/18?

      If so, not sure whether this is allowed (i.e. paying into more than one ISA per year) as you are transferring <£2.5k and therefore have to make at least 6 x £100 monthly payments.

      • Wally1976 says:

        12 Jun12 June 14:40

        My understanding is that you can transfer a current year ISA (you have to transfer all of it) and continue contributing so long as your total contribution doesn’t exceed the annual cap. However, I probably should have a good read of the ISA rules.
