  Been waiting for a Virgin bonus since I
  took advantage of the sign up offer last year.

  Only one rewards card per household

  Very annoying. Oh well.

  • Harpo says:

    Don’t let that stop you. We’ve all got one at our house.

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Just add an a to the number or fiddle with the street spell

  IIRC, currency order are explicitly excluded in this offer.

  Another OT –
  What do I do with Curve rewards (500 points) for a new friend referral?
  Can this be used for payment towards future purchase?

  • TGLoyalty says:

    Yep select the rewards card and play £5 only at the til. No issue with most big retailers.

  • Alan says:

    Dead easy – 1 Curve point = 1p, just select Curve as payment card (obviously amount has to be same or less than points available).

    • John says:

      Only if the retailer is “online”… you could use Curve rewards to BOB on BA, or take the tube, with insufficient balance and the remainder will eventually get charged to one of the other cards.

      • Alan says:

        Wasn’t sure what happened in delayed approval setups. Certainly when using in store you either need to get them to do a till split, or make it for the same/less than the Rewards balance.

      • TGLoyalty says:

        25 Mar25 March 12:01

        Didn’t curve move to online payments only now?

• Alan says:

  25 Mar25 March 09:33

  So 0.67p/mile, not bad but only slightly less than the 0.75p I value them at – any higher bonuses in the recent past? If not I may just transfer them, hardly ever shop in LHR so I’m unlikely to use them there.

    I’m holding out for another 100% bonus on Avios – going to add something to our existing HR card on the way out next month to reset the date and then trigger another bonus on the way back with £150 spend on a different card.

    • Liz says:

      25 Mar25 March 13:08

      Now thinking I might transfer our 4000 pts to get 2000 pts bonus then transfer to IHG towards for Spire for next year. Then top up with 2 lots of erewards via Virgin to get a total of 10000 virgin /IHG qualifying pts.

  I need to go to Heathrow on Tuesday and in my previous experience the digital card has not worked. Can I pick up a paper card at the airport and then apply the offer or do I need to actually set up the account online first?

  • Rob says:

    25 Mar25 March 11:48

    You can register a paper card later – if you do it same day it will be done before transaction posts anyway.

  • TGLoyalty says:

    25 Mar25 March 11:59

    You would need to set up a new account and register with the Avios code

    You can have the points added retrospectively

  Wonder is it time to convert my 10k bonus from November over to VS now. Have been waiting. They probably won’t do a higher bonus anytime soon if they have this one will they?

  • Rob says:

    25 Mar25 March 11:47

    Probably not. They seem to be doing a different partner every couple of months.

    • Alan says:

      25 Mar25 March 11:54

      OK that’s helpful – will probably spring for this one then!

  You can only transfer points to a Flying Club account in your own name. Requests for a transfer to another person’s Flying Club account are not permitted. Only one Virgin Atlantic redemption per day is permitted up to a maximum of 20 rewards equivalent to 5000 Flying Club miles. Please contact Customer service if you wish to redeem more than 5000 Flying Club miles. By submitting your request for Flying Club miles you are agreeing that Heathrow Rewards will pass your personal details to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club so that they can apply the miles to your account.

  Was going to do 10k. Looks like I need to call them.
