VS reward+ credit card - £40 annual fee refund

[mitchja]

Just received the following email from Virgin Money about getting a £40 refund on the annual fee for my VS Reward+ credit card

I presume this will apply to everyone with an active VS Reward+ credit card:

We hope you’re keeping safe and well. As a Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Credit Card customer, we know that these last few months, you won’t have been able to take advantage of your Flying Club rewards in the same way.

So we’re refunding £40 of your annual card fee. There’s nothing you need to do – just look out for your refund landing in your credit card account in the next few days.

It doesn’t stop there
Virgin Atlantic want to make sure that when you can travel again, you’ll still be able to get the absolute most out of all your benefits.

That’s why they’ve:

Extended Flying Club statuses by six months
Extended Flying Club voucher expiry dates by six months
Stopped Flying Club miles expiring
You’ll soon be flying again
Hopefully, it won’t be long until you can enjoy travelling, making memories and earning rewards all over again. And we’ll be here when you do, ensuring you can simply take off where you left off with your Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Credit Card.

Here’s to brighter days ahead.

I got it as well..

Thanks Virgin Money, gesture apreciated.

Shame VS can't be the same pro active organisation...Day 96 of waiting for refund.

I got it too so yes I think it's "universal"

My email differs in one crucial respect - the £40 appears on my card after I’ve renewed which is November.

The £40 credit has now landed in my account overnight.

Yes, the email I received was the same as whiterose's - I would receive the refund after renewal, which I think is in October or thereabouts.

Have cancelled the card of this week. Following the return of my airmiles from my cancelled reward flights earlier this year, have quite enough for the time being. May pick up the free card sometime.
