Free Virgin Atlantic Silver Status

[real-brisker]

Silver didn't get me anywhere today.
EWR-LHR
No Pre-Boarding,
No Upgrade on open seats.

Maybe cause It was a reward ticket.

Was it a full flight?

My father just checked in for a VA flight. When he inquired about his "silver" status, they told him it was a scam.
They are not giving away free status...

Link is alive just like before. It's just doing nothing in my case. Says that I'm signed up for the offer and nothing actually changed.

where are all those people that knew to say its not a scam.

[Yeki89]

The ticket agent said it was.

[EMES]

The ticket agent said it was.

Scam worked so well, It even fooled united to status match some members.

[Yeki89]

I agree, I took it also.

I was just relaying what the TA said.

[TAVI]

don't see how this is a scam, my Flying Club account and all my 6 family members still shows as Silver.

[Yeki89]

Same here.

I was repeating what the agent said.

Never a good idea to do that
