Last April we saw the first ever Virgin Atlantic cashback deal. Since then they have become a regular feature.

The latest deal ends tomorrow, Monday 30th June. As always, you need to see if the deal shows under the ‘Offers’ tab on one or more of your American Express cards. You need to click ‘Save to card’ to register before making your transaction. Don’t waste your time checking British Airways American Express cards!

You will get £250 cashback when you spend £2,000 with Virgin Atlantic or £100 cashback when you spend £800. You don’t get to choose – Amex has chosen for you.

Virgin Atlantic launches a new American Express cashback deal

You must book by tomorrow, 30th June, and depart from a UK airport. Cumulative spend is OK.

I am fairly certain that taxes and charges on Virgin Atlantic redemption flights WILL trigger the cashback as long as you hit the £800 or £2,000 threshold. They go through your credit card in the usual way. American Express will get details of the underlying flight but is it smart enough to weed out redemptions? The T&C don’t even explicitly block reward flights.

The cashback will NOT trigger on the purchase of Virgin Points because this is handled by a third party intermediary. Anything booked via Virgin Holidays will not count.

Registration was capped at 15,000 cards so if you can no longer see the offer and didn’t save it when launched it may no longer be available.

You can check prices and book on the Virgin Atlantic website here.
