A new AmEx offer has appeared this morning. May be useful for some.

Spend at least £4000 on Virgin Atlantic Holidays before 28/11/2024 and get £400 back. Online only so not available for retail store purchases.

Thanks! I have a balance to pay on a trip so will pay a month early and see if that triggers cashback. It does say pay in full at time of reservation so it may not work but definitely worth a try!

Was this successful? I have a balance also, however it’s not due for a while. If the £400 credit works, I’ll pay part of the balance early.

Thanks

Payment of the full balance made today on Amex and will report back in a few days if the cashback tracks. Offer expires 28 November so you have a little bit of time.

Well that was quick. Less than 24 hours and the offer has tracked and I got the confirmation email from Amex of £400 of a £4000 spend. This was an existing booking and not a new one per the offer terms. YMMV.

So I make all my VAH bookings via my local retail store by phone and/or email. The agent there is extremely helpful and we continue to qualify for the Frequent Virgin Club discount. I then make subsequent payments online through the VAH website. The deposit on this holiday was paid a few months ago so I paid the full balance yesterday on my Amex Platinum which was a couple of months early. Very happy with an extra £400 of of a £5k holiday.
