anything for Virgin Cruise ?
I wish. I’d love to start seeing some Virgin Voyages deals pop up somewhere.
nitpicky request, the mini blurb on the main page still says “spend $2,000 online at virginatlantic.com by 1/12/2024″ … easy to understand when it’s in the feed, but someone seeing it in a search in Feb might think it expired last year.

Will this post on taxes paid on award ticket? Round trip NYC to LHR?
Yes
Thanks
Potentially useful DP. I booked two one way awards recently via the Virgin app, (US to UK, and UK to US), and they are coded differently. Merchants are different, and currencies are different as well. UK->US award fees would most likely not count toward the offer (I know terms already say that the flight must originate in the US, but figured this might be worth mentioning).
What happens to AMEX credit if you end up cancelling ticket and getting refund? I am unsure about plans so just want to know if someone has run into this issue.
Clawed back
Mine says it has to be through Amextravel.
My offer is Virgin Atlantic spend $1,200, get back $200, but only when booked through AMEX Travel
I have 250 off of 1800
$2000 spend and $300 off variation for me.
Virgin knows what they are doing. Upper-class award tickets typically incur a fee of $970ish dollars. Just below the threshold.
Of course, they set the promo with their finance/marketing team.
I mean if you book multiple cash tickets in Y or PE you will probably trigger the offer or one J roundtrip definitely will.
