Virgin Atlantic really wants me to use their new Mastercard product this year. I first was targeted for a 5k bonus in Nov 2013, and now they gave me two new offers.
These seem to be targeted and did not require me to register.
The first is I would need to spend $500 at grocery stores or restaurants between 1/15/14 to 3/31/14 and I would earn 2,500 miles. This is super easy as I could get a Visa gift card from a grocery store and load to my BlueBird card.
The second is that if I spend $15,000 before my cards 1 year anniversary date, I would receive 7,500 bonus points. These are in addition to the 22,500 points I would already be receiving as I get 1.5 points/ $ spent on this card.
So what could I use these Virgin Atlantic miles for? Well, MileValue has a good writeup of how you can go to Europe one way for 13k -16k miles + $100 this summer depending on your airport location. He also has suggestion on how to come back using other airlines to reduce your out of pocket costs.
Anyway to get this targeted offer? Wondered what would happen if I called them….
It never hurts to call! let me know how it goes.
