January Reward sale?

Hi, first post here! Does anyone know anything about a reward seat sale? The last few years Virgin have launced a reward sale around the 8th January, but nothing yet this year. Need to book MIA-LHR for August, and just short of the miles needed, but would have enough if they launch a reward sale.
Thanks

just checked back my emails - all I find is reward sales in Sept 2015, Sept 2014, Jan 2014 Sept 2013

Last year they were in January, May and September. There's no guarantee this year will be the same though.

If i booked a reward seat now and they launched a sale in a few days time (or probably a split second after i book) can i cancel and rebook at the reduced miles fare? Presume i'd have to pay the cancellation fee?

Has anyone ever done similar?

Yes you would have to pay the cancellation fee.

Was a 25% off sale last Jan

You know all about making the most of your miles, and now's your chance to grab another seat. Get a post Christmas pick me up when you book an Economy reward flight between 7 January and 22 January for a fabulous 25% less miles*.

And as a special extra, you'll also get a 25% bonus** if you top up with Buy Miles or Miles Booster by 4 February 2015.

Bit of a pain as ive got a booking from the 8th August thats going to hit 6 months in a couple of weeks so was counting on a repeat of both the reward sale and boost sale.

Perhaps I'm imagining it or do they usually do these immediately after the sale ends ?
