Earn double Virgin Points at Bicester Village

Bicester Village, the luxury outlet shopping destination in Oxfordshire, is running a special offer with Virgin Red.

Virgin Red members will earn double Virgin Points when shopping at Bicester Village until 30th October.

The standard Virgin Points rate at Bicester Village is 1 per £1 spent, which is doubled to 2 per £1 during this offer.

You do not need to claim your miles in each individual store you visit.  Instead, simply hold on to your receipts until the end of your shopping trip.

Once you’re done shopping for the day, go to the Village Welcome or Tourist Information Centre and present your shopping receipts to collect your points.

Alternatively, you can use the e-redemption service. You can email a copy of your receipts to Bicester Village and they will ensure they are credited to your account. You can find out more on their website here.

Don’t forget to check your credit cards for any Bicester Village cashback offers too – there is usually something available. I don’t have any American Express offers at present but there are deals via some Visa and Mastercard cashback portals.

What is the best Bicester Village travel partner?

Oddly, and I only recently realised this after many years, the most generous Bicester Village travel partner may be hotel programme Accor Live Limitless. See here for details.

As you can see, the standard earning rate is 3 Accor Live Limitless points per £1 spent. As 1 Accor point = 2 Eurocents off your next hotel stay (albeit redeemed in chunks of 2,000 points) you’re getting roughly 5% back. This is more generous than taking Virgin Points, even during the current double points offer, but only makes sense if you are already an active Accor member.
