I was just wandering if anybody knows of these are a standard issue anywhere across the Virgin brand or if a v-flyer member has had them made. I saw them on a bag (from a distance but there was a clear virgin logo on there). If you recognise them/own them, it was me that you asked for directions at Schoenefeld train station last Tuesday (12th March)!

They're the tags that are sent to Flying Club Silver members |:)

Thanks so much, there was I hoping for some kind of wonderful story...! Guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait for mine! To go off on a tangent, does anyone know if there is any way they can be issued prematurely? The flight taking me back to Accra (where I'm now resident) will qualify me for AG but I have no plans on returning back to the UK soon and really don't trust that the postal system there will deliver it sng time in the next 6 months!

Afraid not, it is auto generated when you accounts moves up to Silver so it can't be done in advance as you might not take the flight and turn to silver.

Shame, but it makes perfect sense. I'll never turn down an opportunity to come back and rack up a few more miles and TPs though!

Well that's interesting as I have not been sent any and it happened in November.

In my experience they are usually quite quick (i.e. a week), so maybe you should chase them.

Just a random thought but would there be any way they could be delivered to a local Virgin Atlantic office...?
