I just called up the Virgin Contact Centre to change a work booked Saver flight to a Flexi (so that I can then do a points upgrade to business)
They wouldn't allow me to pay the fare difference using my personal Virgin Flyer Visa Card, they said they can only use that payment type when booking TWO41 deals.
I queried but didn't understand why it wouldn't work. It's still a VISA card that's accepted at billions of places worldwide..
I ended up paying for the change fee on my Velocity Amex instead.
On the plus side they only charged me the fare difference and not the change fee so I can't complain.
Wonder if that's another sabre bug.
