    Can Virgin Gift Cards be used to pay taxes and fees on a reward flight booking?

    There’s nothing in the Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Gift Card terms that stops it (https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/in/en/flying-club/virgin-group/virgin-gift-card.html), so I think it’s probably best trying and letting us know how you get on…

    Interested in the answer to this also. I assume it would all need to be processed over the phone anyway.

    The specific question was about taxes (and, presumably, surcharges), which this isn’t an answer to, so we’ll need to wait for @chrishond to give us some feedback once they’ve tried.

    Yes, however once the booking is made should you need to do further upgrades it no longer can.

    So a GC they can be used as payment towards for taxes on an award ticket at point of booking?

    Yes but only at point of booking. If using the monese gift cards, the gift cards activated from the link start working instantly.

    Still a little confused. I’m about to make a reward booking and have some monese gift cards I can convert.
    Can I make the booking online and use the virgin gift card online? Or does this have to be done via phone?
