If you buy Virgin Points before July 7, you'll add up to 70% bonus points to your pile

NOTE pricing for a UK customer buying the max with 70% bonus = 340,000 Flying Club points for GBP 3,015, which is a rate of GBP 0.0089 per Flying Club point, around 1.12 cents

for US customers buying the max with 70% bonus would = USD 5022 /340,000 FC points = 1.47cents

can prob get around this with change of address but be sure to check the t&c

Boy do we have a treat for you. If you buy Virgin Points before July 7, you'll add up to 70% bonus points to your pile* – on us. You read that right. Seven, zero!
After this, the bonus will reduce to up to 60% until August 4. What's that age-old saying? There's no time like the present.

Virgin pulled a Delta at the same time.

Massively increased prices on Delta awards, and also added surcharges.

I also noticed that Air France started charging over 50k for a Delta OW US-EU, instead of 27k prior to that.

That's the same when booking any flight on VS or BA, cheaper with GB address

Can an LY award ticket booked with VS points be cancelled until departure or must be done 24+ hours before?

Newbie question...
looking to book on virgin for family of 7 NYC to TLV but when I look for more than 2 tickets at a time I don't get the direct elAl options. Am I supposed to just book multiple times? How do I know I'll be able to get more tickets on same flight after the initial 2?
