Is it possible to send private message on this Forum? @Rob

Thanks all, my 7 years old daughter helped to pick the one randomly, and it goes to @Wiseoldman.

I will contact VS Customer service next week once I have your VS membership details, hope it can be done trouble-free per its t&cs.

I don’t understand this. I have a £150k income and perfect credit score and the “eligibility checker” has just told me I’ll be declined if i apply.

Any ideas of how to approach. This doesn’t make any sense?

I have been trying for barclaycard Avios for over two years now, always get told NO despite perfect credit history, no problem getting other cards, Amex, Lloyds, RBS, etc at the same time…..

I think it was @davefl who said if you see a good price, jump on it! Some routes do seem to drop in price about 3 months before departure, which worked for me recently but I’d never leave it that late to be left with no options at all. However, I only had to pay the old £25pp change fees, £70 pp might make me think again.

The change/cancellation fees are so confusing, on VS website, it clearly states £30pp, it is £70pp when you call, and waivered if you are gold and insist, then comes you can still pay the old £25pp. Do you mind share how you get to pay the old £25pp? LOL…

VS Gold does get you privileges other people would get a straight no to. Fingers crossed for you.

indeed, you are 100% right, fee was waivered due to my gold status.

[Cramond11]

took a while to have it sorted out over the phone, changed the flight dates, CS initially quoted a changing fee of £70pp, after I questioned it, he went on to check with his manager, agreed not to charge any fees due to my gold status, so the end result is refund of 82.5k miles + 0 fees.

Thanks to both, calling Virgin now, will report back.
