virgin air miles

[maisy]

Can anyone explain the virgin airmile system eg how to collect and check how many you have Also is it only flights you get miles for many thanks

[Lynnes]

Also if you fly with say BMI how you collect the virgin miles.

[freddiehollie]

Also if you spend on a Virgin AMEX card you will get air miles for every pound you spend
The points you get are dependent on the card you have, eg 1 mile per £1 on one card
or 2 mile per £1 spend on the other card. Plus they always seem to have offers.

You also get reward flights with the Virgin Amex, either a companion fare or the 2 I got for the first time a few weeks ago which was an Econ>Premuim upgrade. I used 100000 airmiles for 2 economy tkts and then paid £566 (for 2 people) to upgrade to PE.

The upgrades offered at the airports are 'usually' only one way, so I guess you did well Paul if that was the case.

we finally used our miles for our trip next April!

We booked Prem Eco return and used 7500 miles per person + £720 - which was £190 cheaper then the advertised rate.

The Economy miles + money fare was the same as the advertsied regular fare.

It seems you only get a good deal when you upgrade IMHO!

We used our miles in April and got two first class tickets to LA. Am busy saving for some more now [msnsmile2]
We are also flying on Sunday with flights that we bought for £329 plus 2000 miles each.

I've tried a few times to use the airmiles but without much success - couldn't get the dates, or the cost of miles plus money was more than the cost just using cash. I upgraded my father-in-law from Economy to Upper Class on the return journey this summer and it cost 30,000 miles, and I'm not sure if it was a bargain or not.
