Hopefully others will have the mail now or shortly, but you can register to get extra miles if you fly before the 15th June. 5000 miles for a Y round trip, 10,000 for PE, and 15,000 for UC.

And what lovely timing as I had just that second booked my next UC trip to NY!

Looks like you get the bonus for every flight as well!

Fly out 30th May UC & Back 15th UC wonder if I'll get bonus miles for both legs?

Received the email an hour ago. Flying out in Y to LAX on the 11th June so every little counts y)

Yes you will, the dates are inclusive.

Yay!!! I am never normally that lucky. y) Flying out 25th May back 8th June UC!

Oddly, I got the email but my mum didn't. I have registered us both though.

Well I've registered but as we are M+M maybe no bonus miles.

Just had an email

Just checked my e-mail account and have received the e-mail, thought I's have a quick look at the sign up process and first you have input your FC number and then at the next step, answer 2 out of 5 questions, but the questions are the likes of Date of Last flight, Date of Birth, Post Code, first line of address etc. You get 3 attempts before your online access to your account is denied.

Wouldn't Virgin already have the information we are being asked to input? Which means they shouldn't need to ask for it to sign up. Playing devils advocate, here, is this a genuine VS offer or something more shady?

I cannot find anything on the VS website that mentions this either.

You only have to answer two of the 5 questions. It doesn't take a second if you have your FC number from the email.

I see what you mean now! I hope it's all bona fide and not a phishing email? Does anybody know? Too late for me I have already registered...

Unlikely to be phishing unless someone hacked in and got your individual miles balance that's shown at the top of the mail. Plus as that balance is the best part of 2 weeks out of date - as usual with VS mailings - I think we can take it to be genuine )

I wouldn't have thought it was a phishing email as you enter your FC number which is provided on the original email sent to you.

Had a look at the T&C's, I would have thought it would have been an initiative for you to book - rather than anyone travelling who has already booked,

I'm not complaining as it's a great offer, I just don't see what Virgin get by offering up to 15,000 miles to people who have already booked and are flying within the dates mentioned.

Is there a direct link? I think I've been removed from their "nice" list...

Just spoken with Virgin Flying Club and they assure me the e-mail is genuine and from them can rest a bit now and of course sign up.

Thank you for that, I was starting to kick myself.

Just goes to show how easily you can get sucked in - I know now that this was genuine, but I thought I would be more "aware" than that. Clearly not. B)

Lucky for me, we will be getting the 15,000 miles each! Thanks again, totally lost.

what great news im flying PE to barbados may 26th returning june 6th

it doesnt say new bookings only so i presume if you have already booked prior to this offer you will still get the miles.

can anyone confirm this


jason

Yes, that's how I'm reading it. Would be a bit of a bugger otherwise as I got the mail and registered literally seconds after booking a flight! Not to mention another one I have had planned for a while in early June.

Damn ......... 21st n(

Unfortunately not !

"Excludes Miles Plus Money fares, Combifares and Redemption bookings in G, P and T booking classes."

I fly out on the 15th.... Yay!

I fly back on the 1st.... Boo!

Also excludes children under 12 with 002 prefix accounts - was briefly hoping I could get 5k each for my 2 on our Dubai trip, but the site wouldn't let me register them and then I saw the small print. Doh.

Having just given the successful registration email a proper read, why can't Virgin Atlantic get consistency right?

Old flying club logo
Old livery on photo of areoplane
Old credit card faces in photo
Listing BMI as an ideal partner airline for miles earning (yes still current but not for much longer)
Plus only 33 destinations, 35 listed in the email alerting us about the offer.

Also what is the "Flying Hub"?
Defunct? Yet to be introduced? Typo?

No mention of miles-upgraded tickets -- do people think that such flights will earn the correct bonus for the revenue part of the ticket?

Logic would suggest so since you earn miles and TPs, but...

Good news......fly out on the 14th
Bad news.........back on the 24th
