    They did publish what was available in the T&Cs and there were 560 domestic one ways available (but I think the destination is randomised?). Already booked my leaves for the year so 🙃 Unfortunately what the other half deployed me for only had 40ish items, so it was pretty much game over...

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer Offers & Discussion

    I held the Flyer card till about October last year. FWIW I called up the Virgin rep and she confirmed that I would be eligible. I can’t actually personally confirm this though because I got rejected (probably too many Citi cards held)
