Reply To: Will we ever get rail “airmiles”?

I’ve found booking virgin trains app is a good compromise as it earns you 3 virgin points per £1 (sometimes doubled to 6/£1) and they no longer charge a booking fee. The points post fairly quickly (after your ticket validity ends, to avoid refunds)
You can of course redeem points to train tickets but YMMV on the value.
