Virgin Atlantic Gold status match

[flyingace]

Is it possible to status match to *Gold? I thought this was a Star Alliance airline, but it is not. Not much good to me as is.

some philanthropist/retard offered to get people *A Gold a while ago...

[flyingace]

Yes I know, I am still waiting for mine, but the rest of my family signed up for the virgin gold and I was wondering if there was any way to use it for *alliance flights.

no they are only half partners with some, such as CO and BD.

[flyingace]

What does half partner with CO get you?

half gets you nothing.

it means for instance that you can book with CO miles Virgin Flights.

there is a free regus gold business world membership you can get for having virgin gold. it gets you two free days use of an office at their locations and free business lounges at their locations (wifi, tea, coffee, newspapers, tv's) check it out.

[dedskwirl]

Do not do anything with regus from what I have heard they really scam your money from you.

[edgeman]

like what? I never paid anything. they don't have any credit card on file, what could go wrong?

Regus is a really funny company I got a gold membership way back for a year for free, I wanted to check one out one night they are supposed to be open 24 hours I called because they weren't open their excuse was " somewhere in the world we are open" 


anyhow has anyone matched this I sent out a few emails I'll let everyone know what responses I get
