💡 tl;dr—Virgin Atlantic just launched another points sale and the airline is offering a bonus of up to 70% when you purchase miles. If you’ve identified a good redemption using Flying Club points, this might be a good deal for you.
Through June 23, 2025, you’ll receive a bonus of up to 70% on your purchase of Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points. This could be a decent opportunity to up your Flying Club balance for a savvy redemption.
It’s worth mentioning that Virgin Atlantic is seemingly always selling miles. The airline offers near-monthly promotions to purchase miles throughout the year, so if you aren’t a buyer here you’ll likely have many more opportunities to do so in the coming months. Over the last few years, the steady offer we’ve seen to purchase Flying Club points miles has been with a 70% bonus, so this current offer is right at that same mark.

What are Some Good Uses of Virgin Atlantic Points?
Oftentimes you’ll find the best redemption deals come from using the loyalty currency of one airline to redeem for a flight on another airline. For example, one might redeem Flying Club Points to fly with a partner airline, say Delta Airlines, as they are members of the same airline alliance – Skyteam. Airlines also strike one-off partnerships with others airlines, even if they aren’t part of the same alliance, thus enabling members to earn and redeem miles when flying each respective program. This is a key concept for playing the points and miles game and I touch upon this briefly in this Introduction to Points and Miles – A Primer post.
The Flying Club loyalty program is a favorite among points and miles enthusiasts due to the good availability of premium cabin partner awards seating, reasonable redemption costs, and frequent points sales. There are some solid redemption options within Flying Club.
For example, for just 60,000 Flying Club points (one way) you can fly in style – business class – between the Japan and the U.S. on All Nippon Airways.
Or if you’re keen on seeing Korean, you could fly Delta One, from the US to Seoul.
Conclusion
If you plan to buy Virgin Atlantic points with this promotion, you have until the June 23, 2025 to do so.
