Anyone else get this? Great timing considering I have $10,000 worth of flights to book.


"Here's a little bonus point treat just for you.

Earn 5x Velocity Points
on all Eligible Transactions made between 1 February 2019 and 28 February 2019 as long as your total Retail Purchases are $2500 or more during the Promotion Period."

I don't believe I have received the same email; must be targeted. Bummer, I have a couple of bills this month totalling about $35k. I guess they'll have to go on another card (with no cap).

I got 3 x points on all eligible spend until 28th Feb - no threshold.

Bummer! What was subject line of the email? I cannot find any email from Virgin High Flyer over the last 48 hours or so...

Edit: Oh, double bummer... I was having a senior's moment... I have kept my Virgin Money CC and just cancelled my Virgin High Flyer card :-(

Thanks mate.

Just curious: I wonder what spend pattern those who have received the offer have had on their card over the past couple of months?

Hardly been using it as I have a new Visa card

That's probably the reason; I was putting in around the point cap ($8k) on the card every month.

Myself and my wife got this, been using it very little as we were close to getting rid of it.
Utility bill payments would count towards this?. I could use the points maybe buy a couple of K's worth of gift Visa cards mmmmm
Maybe some gold bullion the 5 points would go some way towards offsetting the buy back premium

Does the 'Activate Now' button prompts you for a login, or the link already incorporates your specific account details?

This has to be best of the bunch... no need to mock around with earning points, etc; it gives you higher return than earning points and redeeming first class!

 

[odysseus]

Still waiting on the payout from when this was last offered in November - though only went up to 3x points then.

Have hardly used mine. Not even sure where it is!

Just activated me.

Maybe worth a phone call to ask to reverse the cancellation AND get the offer. Just to try.

Citibank also sent me a similar promotion to earn 3x reward points in February...

 

[ozjuice]

Well it's good for me a actually get a bonus before i spent big, usually with my luck i miss things by a few days. So basically an extra 40000 points are very useful.

I had a triple points up to 10,000 velocity recently.. I'm almost at the 10 weeks post promotion for the points to be paid. Hopefully they come without me asking for them.
