Get 10,000 Virgin Flying Club miles with (potentially cheap) Virgin Money life insurance

On Thursday we wrote about a bonus miles offer with Virgin Money life insurance.
Until 7th August Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members who take out a life insurance policy will receive 10,000 Flying Club miles.
The Virgin Money website stated that the cheapest premium was £6 per month, but according to comments under our article some readers were able to get life insurance for as little as £0.80 per month – a ridiculously cheap way of ‘buying’ miles.
Virgin Money has since pulled the offer and replaced it with an amended version.
A minimum monthly premium of £10.00 now applies to the Flying Club miles offer. This applies to all policies taken out from Friday. If you took one out on Thursday, your miles will be honoured.
The other key things you need to know about this offer are:
The 10,000 Virgin Flying Club miles are awarded up to 60 days after the sixth consecutive monthly payment
You must be a Virgin Flying Club member
You must be a UK resident and over 18 years old
This offer is for new customers only
One offer per person – joint policies receive the same 10,000 miles
The application website is here. You can also apply by calling 0800 0728870.
Virgin Money life insurance policies come with various perks including access to the Virgin Money lounges.
If you qualify for the cheapest monthly payment of £10, you need to pay at least £60 to receive the 10,000 Flying Club miles. This assumes you are happy to cancel before the miles arrive, as that may take an extra 60 days as per the rules. 0.6p per Flying Club mile is still a pretty good deal.
The closing date for applications under this offer is 7th August, so you have over a month to decide whether you want to take out a life insurance policy with Virgin Money.
