That is for Flying Co members - the VS business reward programme and NOT for general FC members.

Exclusively available to Flying Co members,


A limit of 2 Clubhouse invitations per Flying Co account, per flight will be issued

Must have been a slow airline news day ;-)

That is also a really bad use of 10k miles when you can spend about £50 for lounge access.

The difference being, they're guaranteed entry - rather than the "on the day" risk.
For a company account that's earning them supplementary to each travellers' own miles, it's not a bad use as they're effectively free additional rewards.

You can pay £50 for CH access?

Not sure the exact price but around £50

Agree FCo miles are extra to those earned by members but can be used to upgrade from a K fare (which FC cannot) so if used wisely have a higher value.

Clubhouse access bookable via V Hols is currently £55.00 for LGW or £67.00 for LHR. You do have to book a full holiday package or a Fly Drive though in order to book the Clubhouse access plus it has to be pre-booked.
