Get bonus Virgin Points at Virgin Hotels Glasgow

To celebrate the launch of Virgin Hotels Glasgow, Virgin Red is offering an extra 2,000 bonus Virgin Points per stay between 1st November and 31st December 2023.
This bonus points offer is on top of the standard earn rate of seven points per £1.
To earn Virgin Points from Virgin Hotels, you need to sign up to The Know – the Virgin Hotels loyalty program – and link your Virgin Red account.
Your base points will be automatically sent to Virgin Red after your stay, whilst your 2,000 bonus points will come in the form of an emailed code which can be deposited online.
We’d value 2,000 Virgin Points at £20 if used for premium flight redemptions, and you will get at least £10 of value for them via Virgin Red. The bonus is obviously more valuable if you are only staying for one night, since it pays out per stay.
