Was hoping anyone could give me advice/tips etc on Virgin flyer miles. We've just discovered them as most of our trips have been with Thomas Cook, Monarch etc, but our last one was with Virgin. On the way home last Oct we got diverted mid flight to Boston for a day, so we were compensated 35,000 flyer miles between the 4 of us. We've just cashed them in, and have opened a whole world of other ways to save them. We are considering getting a virgin credit card to get the imediate 3000 miles, collect miles by buying through that and setting our account up to pay it off at the end of the month.
I've also found the "Shop's Away" thing through the Virgin site and am intending to use that. Frustrating that this last year me with Cath Kidston, DH and Evans cycles and kids with Early learning centre, we could have earned round the world tickets for the whole of our village!!
Anyone had any experience/tips you could share with me? eg how to redeem them. Is it true we can share the total out over the 4 of us to get money off each of our tickets rather than getting one free ticket? We had to put the kids flyer miles on one of the adults account as they are too young to have an account, so when my DH discussed this with virgin they put my flyer miles on his account as well.
TIA
