FC Au miles birthday bonus?

Has this stopped?
I seem to remember, Au members used to get a small miles bonus on their birthday ?| .
As I'm yet another year nearer old (as opposed to middle ) age today, a few miles might help cushion the blow but there's no sign of anything from FC.

I seem to recall that my card came a few days before my birthday, but i couldn't deposit the points as the code on the card wasn't working. i had to contact FC for them to do it for me. Only took a day or two.

I'm sure it will arrive eventually

Happy Birthday by the way :)

I got my card & 2k free miles in May.

Like Chumba, I couldnt activate the miles myself and had to contact FC. I seem to remember having the same problem in previous years.

you need to log in to FC and enter your unique number printed on your birthday card, maybe call FC and see if they can give you the code

I got mine in November the day before my birthday (I've just had a look at my accout) and I recall that I didn't have to enter the code as the miles just appeared. I was surprised at the time.

It was my birthday yesterday and the card arrived in the post. Entered the code on the website and got the 2k miles straight away. A nice gesture from FC I thought.

I am in the US and got my card a week before my birthday, it doesn't work easily as they have printed their own website link wrongly! there should be a hyphen between virgin-atlantic, and that is missing on the card link, so it leads to a dead end. duh.

however, correcting that (adding the hyphen) I get to the right page, only to find the code supplied doesn't work, BUT my suspicion is that maybe it has to be done ON my birthday - is that so? or is it a broken code?

I got mine a few days before my birthday , and the code would not work until the actual date.

It's a nice touch, and after 2 more years I'll have enough for a Y to W upgrade !
