    Considering the recent Barclaycard Avios launch and HfP sign up bonus, what is the likelihood we’ll see a Virgin Atlantic Card boost any time soon?
    BA’s continued decline is making me seriously reconsider where my points spend goes…!

    since I took out a virgin card last week, there must be a bonus next month or so!

    Even if there was a bonus… there’s no reward availability to actually use the points on!

    People keep saying this (there’s no availability) but I’ve just looked at next year for New York, Hong Kong, Orlando, availability in Premium and Upper is pretty good… not sure what everyone is looking at? Even San Fran is ok in Premium and there are some spots in Upper if you can be flexible. Once my Barclays voucher is here i’m quitting the card and going back to the Virgin+ one for any non-amex spending, so hopefully there is a boost soon!

    All I want is to fly UC to NYC so hopefully that’ll be possible to book once I’ve got enough points – probably in about another 12 months! I’m assuming I could book two tickets using some sort of combination of points, cash, plus the 241 voucher?

    And just like that here is the boost! I was going to work on getting rid of my Barclays Avios in as little time as possible given that the app is terrible and the card doesn’t work natively with Apple Pay but now it’s fronted with Curve as a human and by Amazon and Paypal online I can just run them side by side for a bit to take advantage of the current bonus on the V+ card.

    That is your only option to be honest, you need enough points to cover the flights you want, and cash to cover the taxes on those flights. If you have no status with Virgin (like myself), the 241 becomes a 2 for 1.5 (in terms of miles needed) in UC.
