Because of the promo?

Waste of money...(generally)

+1, especially because reg MR has had bonuses to VS in the past IIRC, albeit at a lower %.

I didn't mean I actually would get it, just noting the value...

But if they have other promos like this we don't hear about, it may be worth it.

I find easier to redeem than BA (not more avail, just easier to deal with).

How so? No booking for others within 7 days. No changes or cancellations online. Website is forever showing phantom seats

Always been a royal pain....

Never knew that. Booked myself day of dept and they were great. Called in a few times for others, no hold time great CS. You can call CS even past 20:30 (Wow!) If I want to fly BA with a few hrs notice it can be impossible. Not VS. Anyway with this promo it would be way cheaper. Especially if you're gonna consider UC F.

Never saw phantom, but if that's true you're 100% right.

My wife got a targeted offer from BofA to apply for the Virgin CC, and the marketing material said its miles can be used on USAirways.
