V-Flyer

I got a little bit excited today... Received an envelope through the door with the VA logo on it... I opened it and it read:

"Dear Ross, I'd like to tell you about what I consider to be one of the best products we've ever developed at Virgin Atlantic Airways...."

Quite exciting I thought.... Then the next line...

"It's the Virgin Atlantic Black American Express Credit Card from MBNA"

I think that says it all. Virgin Atlantic have admitted one of their best products isn't actually anything to do with Virgin Atlantic whatsoever. Great.

I'm really getting sick of these fake Amex cards from Virgin. I must get about 5 a year through the door. There's no way to stop them either, short of stopping all Flying Club communication. Why don't they get the picture!! I must have had over 10 of these applications through the door! What a waste.

Do what I do with any junk-mail I receive; stuff it all in the pre-paid envelope that it comes with and just post it all back to them.

It probably wont achieve anything but at least it does make you feel better!!

I've got a collection of those white and black cards too.

I remember years ago when i phoned up the FC, they talked me into getting one, went through the whole application process only to be turned down after about 30 mins on the phone!!

It's sooo good, we'll even charge a Credit card fee for using it when you book a flight with us?? ( but it's not us dear pax it's that nasty mbna...)

Oh dear, says it all when this ranks number one in VS....

It took some creative folding, but I've managed to fit it all in to the prepaid envelope to send off tomorrow! You're right, I do feel better!

sadly, I believe the application forms are recieved and handled by a 3rd party data-capture agency - and so neither MBNA nor Virgin are likely to witness to your revenge...

Maybe I should address it to Flying Club ):

Done that before as well and yes it does make you feel better. My wife also had a cruise flyer through lots of typos so she red penned the spelling mistakes and sent it back

If you get the card then they stop sending these letters to you.

They don't actually, as I've received a couple of those plastic fake VS cards, even though I already have the proper black VS Amex card!!

I have the same as mitchja 1 x black card = endless letters to take out white version ?|

I have the VS Amex black, get letters for the white, plus letters suggesting I get a second card on my black account, and....my wife gets letters about getting one for herself!!!

I reckon I get 15 or so letters a year...insane!

I got two after I closed mt AMEX AMEX card - one with offers for bonus miles when purchasing certain things with my card despite the fact I had closed the account.

THe second was offering me payment and identity protection for the card I had just closed thw account for !
