V points - The Punters Lounge

Does anyone save their Vpoints to airmiles?

I converted some points to airmiles and got double points as it was a promotion period (thanks Morls).

Do they run double points often? think it was december last time.

I used to save my points as miles, and have had 2 flights to vegas out of it. However now the taxes have gone up and fuel costs, the "free" flight to vegas costs 50k miles and £270.....simply not worth it. If you cash the points in you could get a cheaper flight easilly!

The double points conversion was a one off it seems, not been done since.

u have to pay 50k and £270?

Just looking - it went up on 30th May - now over £300 surcharge!!!!

rosco · 10-06-2008, 20:32

I have 40k in airmiles, seems a waste

Your better off buying a full priced flight and then using them to upgrade mate

econ to prem econ - 20k
econ to upper class - 60k

morlspin · 10-06-2008, 20:44

or use miles and money

2k miles + £560 ish

I put in random dates on Virgin Atlantic and it came up as £302 - I assumed its the same surcharge on all Virgin flights to Vegas

Increase details here - http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/en/gb.../pr280508a.jsp

Cost me £284 for a free flight

with 50K V points but the cost without was £1k plus. Its the time of year, in November it'll cost about £40. Thats the time to use them as an upgrade

Can anyone suck up to the nice guys at Virgin and get them to run the double points promotion again? Then I may have enough to get to Vegas!
