My card fee is due in July and, as usual, they drop it in to the minimum payment for that month. Virgin Money have sent me an email to remind me how this works today, which is fine.
The email tells me that one of my benefits is:
The choice of an upgrade to Premium, or a Companion ticket, when you spend £10,000 or more in a year**.
The asterisks point to:
If you spend £10,000 or more on card purchases over 12 months, you’ll earn a reward. You can only earn one reward every 12 months. The 12 months resets on each anniversary of the date your Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Credit Card account was opened. Your choice depends on whether you’re a Red, Silver or Gold Flying Club member when you choose it. So if you’re a Red member when you earn your reward but a Silver member when you choose, you’ll get the Silver choices. The reward will automatically be added to your Flying Club account within 30 days of earning it. It’ll be ready to spend straightaway. You can spend your reward for up to 24 months from the date it’s issued. That means you have to have booked your flights and taken the outbound flight within those 24 months. You can take the return journey afterwards.
Yet the terms still point out that I can upgrade “any booking by one cabin” (https://uk.virginmoney.com/cards/vaa-cards/reward-terms/).
This is, therefore, either Money sloppiness in their copy (not unheard of!) or a potential view to changing the reward voucher to stopping so many G rewards… I’m hoping the former.
Aren’t there already limitations by status, e.g. needing extra points for a 241 in UC? Also I think only gold (and maybe silver) can use it for lounge access?
