-
I need 3,ooo more points for Upper Flights for both of us, my husband has 92,000 in his account. I know you used NOT to be able to pool them unless Gold status, is this still the case? I know I can transfer at a cost if needs be tho
Worth a call as some VS CSAs can be flexible.
If you are both travelling together many (most? all?) Virgin CS will allow you to use each others points so give them a call.
If the first one cant help it might be worth him retrying to see if he gets a more helpful one
A few years ago I specifically asked Virgin’s CS rep about this when he was booking me 2 x 241s to LAX. He said that they can take any multiple of the number of miles needed for the lowest sector (assuming both travelling). Whether or not they have more flexibility now you’ll only find out by calling them, but it definitely sounds like you have enough miles between the two of you to book the seats.
Thank you, sounds promising, I shall attempt to get thru to someone on the telephone later today.
