Buy Virgin Points with Up to 70% Bonus [1.48¢, 0.89p or ₹0.97/Point]

Virgin Atlantic has launched a bonus points offer on buying Virgin Points. It might not have made much sense to Buy Virgin Points earlier due to its limited connectivity from India and fewer Airline Partners. However, many opportunities to use Virgin Points have arisen after joining SkyTeam Alliance. Usually, though, you buy points to fund for a few points that will get you a reward ticket. However, in a few cases, buying points may work where the value of Virgin Points exceeds the purchase cost. Now, with this Buying Virgin Points Offer, you may have a look at your travel plans.

Buy Virgin Points with 70% Bonus Points Offer

From now on until 7 March 2025, you can get 20% to 70% bonus points when you buy Virgin Points. However, you need to buy at least 5K virgin points to be eligible for promotion.

70% Bonus Virgin Points

You must buy at least 5000 virgin points in this offer to get 20% bonus points. To get a maximum of 70% bonus points, you must buy 125000 virgin points. Thus, upon purchase, you can get a minimum of 1000 bonus virgin points and a maximum of 140000 bonus points. Also, you can only buy virgin points in multiples of 1000. There is a standard per transaction fee of £15 or $22, depending upon the address in the account.

How much does it cost to buy Virgin Points?

Buying virgin points costs £15 for every 1000 points. But you must also shell out another £15 for every points purchase transaction. That means your cost of buying points decreases as you buy more points. And with bonus points, your cost will be further reduced. So, if you buy more points, you pay less, as is evident from the below table:

When buying Virgin Atlantic points, your country determines your payment currency. If you live in the USA, you pay in USD; if you live in India or the UK, you pay in pounds sterling. It is cheaper to buy in Pounds Sterling, as the cost per virgin point is INR 0.97 or 0.89p per point at 200K points. The cost per point for US residents is 1.48¢.

Also, you may pay more or less based on your date of purchase. On some days, Indian Currency may be appreciated or depreciated against the pound sterling.

Things to Know Before You Buy

Buying Virgin Points may sound tempting, but here are a few things you should be aware of before buying:

1. You must have made one earning or spending transaction before buying points:
   • Do so by transferring minimum points from Amex.
2. If you haven’t used your purchased Virgin Points, which is not even a part of it, then you can cancel your purchase and get a refund within 14 days of purchase.
3. Use a Card with the lowest Forex-Markup to reduce the cost of buying.
4. Make sure you have a firm plan for using Virgin Points.
5. Virgin Atlantic charges high carrier-imposed charges on reward seats.
6. Virgin Atlantic made changes on 30 October 2024 and moved to dynamic pricing, so you need to be flexible when using Virgin Atlantic points. You can also use these points to book partner airlines.

Should you buy Virgin Atlantic Points?

Virgin Atlantic made changes to its frequent flyer program last month. One of the most significant changes was that Virgin Atlantic moved to Dynamic Pricing. There are both bad and good things about such a change. But buying Virgin Atlantic Points still makes sense; here is why.

• It makes sense to top up if you don’t have enough Virgin Atlantic points.
• You can travel from India to London (One-way) in Virgin Atlantic Upper Class for just 23K points. However, you will still save on surcharges and taxes ranging from £ 150 to £ 400.
• Another good deal would be if you find Boston/Washinton/New York to London in the Virgin Atlantic Upper class for 29K Points, or from the West Coast USA, you will probably pay more than 41K points.
• Virgin Atlantic also has many airline partners, with ANA being one of the most prominent. Booking SkyTeam airlines using Virgin Atlantic Points is also a good deal.
• I highly recommend you use Seats.Aero [How to use a guide?] or AwardTool [How to use Guide] [use code PointsMath to get 20% off] if you want to find availability on Virgin Atlantic with ease. As of now, Virgin Atlantic searches are not available on PointsYeah.

Bottomline

Buy Virgin Points with a 70% bonus points offer, which is decent. However, ensure you have a firm plan and are ready to bear the substantial Carrier-Imposed charges on Virgin Atlantic flights. If you plan to use it for SkyTeam or other partner airlines, check your flight costs with reward seat availability and cost.
