Coming on Monday – win an Apple Watch AND 50,000 Virgin Flying Club miles

It has been a couple of months since we ran a really big competition on Head for Points, so I am delighted to announce that we have something very special launching on Monday.
Rocketmiles – the hotel booking site which awards frequent flyer miles with every stay – has just launched a new partnership with Virgin Flying Club.
To celebrate, they have given me an Apple Watch AND 50,000 Virgin Flying Club miles to give away to one lucky winner. That would be enough for a return redemption in economy to North America or – a substantially better proposition! – a one-way redemption in Virgin Upper Class to most places they fly. Taxes and charges will, of course, apply.
It will be a very simple competition to enter, so don’t miss out. Remember to visit Head for Points on Monday to enter and to learn more about the new Rocketmiles partnership with Virgin Flying Club.
