Virgin Atlantic Offers Up to 70% Bonus on Purchased Points Through December 31

The airline temporarily raises the annual purchase cap to 300,000 points, with bonuses applied at checkout.

Overview

  • Purchases from 125,000 to 300,000 base points receive a 70% bonus, with lower tiers at 60%, 40% or 20% depending on the amount, and the offer runs until 31 December 2025.
  • Buying the maximum 300,000 base points yields 510,000 total points and was priced by Head for Points at £4,500, or about 0.88p each, and bonus points do not count toward the cap.
  • Official pricing includes a one‑off £15/$22 transaction fee plus £15/$25 per 1,000 base points, and coverage notes GBP checkout often works out cheaper than paying in USD.
  • Bonus points are credited at the time of purchase and appear within 24 hours, and buyers can cancel within 14 days provided none of the purchased points have been redeemed.
  • Redemption value varies because Virgin uses dynamic award pricing on its own flights, but points are also redeemable across SkyTeam partners.
