Virgin credit card companion voucher

Probably a simple question.
I've got to buy three UC tickets for next year.
I have a Virgin credit card voucher.
Currently only a lowly red FC member.
How does the companion voucher work and is it any use to me?

Many thanks

The voucher will be worth 75,000 points.

For arguments sake, let’s say your route was 100,000 return, you could get 2 returns for 125,000 plus taxes.

There are others way you could use it, eg, 2 x one ways, but hard to offer firm or at least predictable advice without knowing your points balance, route and rough travel dates.

Funnily enough, I have 75,000 points currently. I would heed to check wife's and sons points, but possibly less than me
Looking at various ways to MCO next feb/march.
Should have gone this minth, but wife had an accident so had to cancel

If you are hiring a car, I would look at flights to Tampa and drive up to Orlando. Seem to get a lot better deals points wise and maximise the voucher

TPA is good advice. There are outbound UC flights in Feb for as low as 29,000. Unfortunately, the return is considerably higher. One-way UC cash fares are super expensive, and you might baulk at my workaround below.

You could fly Feb 13th UC to TPA for:

*58,000 points
*1 x credit card voucher
*£1495.00

But now we need to get you all home... We're losing 46,000 value from the voucher here.

So, option 1 would be Premium points with VS. Premium is around 20,000. We could get you there UC out and PE back for 2 pax for ~59,000 points and a credit card voucher. You'd need to go cash for the 3rd.

You can get cheap one-way fares with people like Norse, but I've never tried them, and god knows what their financial health is like, so proceed cautiously.

It's also worth noting that the T&Cs of the CC voucher restrict upgrading two people one-way. Even if you were lucky and found an agent who didn't have a clue what they were doing, I'm not sure this would help you, as you'd still all need to get back on one-way cash fares.

Finally, if all 3 of you are set on Upper, the return fares on points are a joke so you're going to struggle and cash might be your best option. As a minimum, you could book a PE return with points, use the 75,000 voucher to upgrade to Upper. That at least means only cash fares for 2.
