The promotion ended already, you’ll have to wait for the next one.

I finally got the targeted emails today, and the offer ends 5/31. But when I clicked on the links to apply, the application page showed the lower 10k and 15k bonuses. When I messaged Virgin America on Twitter, this is what they said: “Hi there, we don’t see a VX CC attached to your Elevate account. Are you a Virgin America Visa card holder? In order to get the higher point bonus, you have to already be a VX card holder. Apologies for any confusion.”

CSR via Twitter apologized for giving me wrong information regarding the targeted offer: “Hi there, I would like to apologize for the earlier info given. When you go to sign up for the card, you will be shown the regular point bonus for the card. However, as long as you sign up before tomorrow, upon approval, once you use the cc, the bonus points will be applied. Apologies again 4 the confusion, you are shown the regular bonus point amount on the web.”

I went ahead and applied for the Premium card and was instantly approved. I tried to also apply for the regular card at the same time, but that one went to pending. Do you know if VX cards are churnable and is there a minimum time period between applications (i.e. Citi’s 8 day policy)?

VX points are among the most underrated points currencies out there IMO. I frequently use them to fly business class on Virgin Australia (now that they don’t impose hefty fuel surcharges). Also, Round-trip to Honolulu from the west coast is just 20k points in coach. If you can avoid the partner airlines that impose hefty fuel surcharges, it’s pretty easy to earn redemption values up to 5/6 cents per point quite easily.

I’ve always wanted more VX points! The Virgin Atlantic points (from Chase UR) are super hard to use on Virgin America flights. I’ve called at least 10 times now for various flights and dates and they can never find award availability for me. I wish there was an easier way than having to call every time!

Not a huge deal, but during a booking, it offers a $50 credit + 10K pts for the lesser card.

Not sure if third method is a coy “wink wink” but I would really like to know the third way as I am booking a Virgin America flight today to take advantage of the Ebates “$16 cash back + $16 rebate” on VX flights today only. Do I have to pretend to open an Elevate account, or have someone give me their targeted offer? Any help is appreciated!

Are the bonus one time offers like AMEX or is it possible to cancel the CC, wait for a bit, and reapply to get the bonus again?

Virgin America also has zone based redemptions which are great for west coast flights to Hawaii (20k RT) and Australia (40k OW, surcharges have been reduced recently too)

Is it possible to transfer these points to Virgin Atlantic?
