50% bonus on Heathrow Rewards transfers to Virgin – sign-up promo worth 4,500 miles

Heathrow Rewards, the loyalty scheme for shopping at Heathrow, has launched a 50% bonus on transfers to Virgin Flying Club.
The offer is clearly flagged on the Heathrow Rewards site when you log in. This offer ONLY applies to Virgin Flying Club and does not apply to:
British Airways / Avios
Emirates Skywards
Etihad Guest
Lufthansa Miles & More
The bonus applies to all transfers to Virgin Flying Club made before 24th April.
This is why the deal is especially interesting:
You can currently earn 3,000 Heathrow Rewards points by opening an account and spending £150 in one day.
This is a very generous offer – as good as it has ever got with Heathrow Rewards.
You can combine these two deals as long as you do your qualifying spend in the next 3 weeks or so.
Open a Heathrow Rewards account, spend £150 in a day and you will receive your 3,000 points. Convert these to Virgin Flying Club and you will receive 4,500 miles!
The link to the 3,000 point sign-up offer is on the avios.com website here. Whilst the deal is being promoted by Avios, there is no requirement to send the bonus points there – you are totally fine to transfer to Virgin and get the 50% bonus.
Remember that Heathrow Rewards accounts are restricted to one per household so you cannot open another for your partner at the same address.
