Buy Virgin Atlantic points with a 70% Bonus (1.19 -1.48 cents each)

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is offering a tiered bonus on purchases of “Virgin Points.” From June 9, 2025 to June 23, 2025, all Flying Club members can get up to a 70% bonus (and then from June 24, 2025 to July 18, 2025 the maximum bonus drops to 60%). The cost per point changes depending on which country the account is registered in. If your account is registered in the US, the maximum bonus brings the cost down to 1.48 cents per point. Those with accounts registered in the UK get a much better deal a with a low price of 1.19 cents per point, well below our reasonable redemption value for Virgin Points of 1.4.

These points sales have been offered fairly frequently over the last couple of years and Virgin Atlantic (VA) does have some compelling high-value sweet spots. That said, points can be fairly easy to generate as VA partners with Citi, Chase, Bilt and Amex, so it’s usually not a good idea to buy speculatively. If you do have an eye on a specific high-value redemption and are low on transferrable points, this bonus could be worth looking at (especially for UK-registered accounts).

Best Uses Virgin Points

ANA First Class from the US for as low as 72.5K (West Coast) - 85K (East Coast). For a long time, the sweetest of Virgin Points sweet spots was for First Class awards from the US to Japan on ANA. Unfortunately, Virgin devalued those awards in March 2023, but even with the substantial increases these awards are still a solid value if not the amazing value they used to be. ANA has one of the best first-class products around, often selling for over $20,000. It's worth noting that ANA flights can't be booked on the VA website, so you have to call or message via Twitter (see below).
US to UK Economy for as low as 6K (East Coast) - 9K (West Coast). Virgin Points can be used to fly to London at great value. Flying from the US to London for 6K to 9K is a bargain, even after accounting for moderate award fees ($50-100). Note that the fees for flights originating in the UK are considerably higher ($200+).
US to UK Business Class for as low as 29K (East Coast) - 41K (West Coast). Since moving to dynamic pricing, some Virgin business fares can be significantly lower than they used to be. You can fly from the US to London for 29K to 41K - even during peak season - depending on the flights. Award fees have also become much more moderate ($200-250). Again, flights originating in the UK have considerably higher fees.
Air France or KLM flights within Europe. Virgin Atlantic has great rates for nonstop flights within Europe on Air France or KLM. They charge between as low as 4K for nonstop economy flights under 1250 miles in distance (which is most within Europe), and as low as 8K for business class flights under 600 miles in distance. Details here: Air France & KLM across Europe for less.

Things to Know

Virgin Points purchases are processed by points.com and DO NOT qualify as airfare.
Virgin Points do not expire.
Many itineraries can be booked online at virginatlantic.com. This includes some partner flights such as Delta, Air France, and KLM.
For partner flights that cannot be booked online, it is sometimes possible book via Twitter by sending a direct message on Twitter to @VirginAtlantic. If they respond that they cannot sell any flights which do not fly via the UK, tell them that you are not looking to purchase a flight but rather to redeem points to book an award ticket.
Virgin Atlantic charges separately for every leg of the trip. When multiple legs are required, it can be cheaper to book the same flights with Air France Flying Blue or (sometimes) Delta SkyMiles.
Point transfers from Amex, Chase, or Citi to Virgin Atlantic are usually instantaneous. It's best to find available award space before transferring points and then transfer and book the award.
