VS have run a few bonus TP promos in the past when flying on VS; the last been last year, however, until they announce something similar, no-one know's for sure that they will run it again unfortunately.

Unless you are a US VS AmEX card holder, there's no other way to earn TP's other than flying.

25 TP's is a one-way Economy VS flight or a much cheaper option (if you can get to the US) is a one-way Delta economy domestic flight. SFO>LAX or JFK>BOS is about ~£60 for an economy one-way flight on Delta to earn 25 TP's.

Flying Delta domestic flights is currently by far the cheapest and easiest way to earn VS TP's at the minute.

The rumours are though that VS are looking to close this loop-hole at some point.

You could always give them a call - for the equivalent of 1 TP in old money they might be willing to give you some wiggle room and tide you over for another year. Never hurts to ask!

do you know if you actually have to fly to get the points? In theory could i book the cheapest economy ticket i can find on delta for a one way trip and then just wait for the 25 points to appear in my account without actually turning up for the flight?!!
