rosco Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Does anyone save their Vpoints to airmiles? I converted some points to airmiles and got double points as it was a promotion period (thanks Morls). Do they run double points often? think it was december last time.

I converted some points to airmiles and got double points as it was a promotion period (thanks Morls). Do they run double points often? think it was december last time. I used to save my points as miles, and have had 2 flights to vegas out of it. However now the taxes have gone up and fuel costs, the "free" flight to vegas costs 50k miles and £270.....simply not worth it. If you cash the points in you could get a cheaper flight easilly! The double points conversion was a one off it seems, not been done since.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAM Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Re: V points Cost me £284 for a free flight :lol with 50K V points but the cost without was £1k plus. Its the time of year, in November it'll cost about £40. Thats the time to use them as an upgrade :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioArca Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Re: V points Can anyone suck up to the nice guys at Virgin and get them to run the double points promotion again? Then I may have enough to get to Vegas! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
