I first was targeted for a <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/targeted-5k-bonus-points-virgin-atlantic-card\/\" target=\"_blank\">5k bonus in Nov 2013<\/a>, and now they gave me two new offers.<\/p>\n<p>These seem to be targeted and did not require me to register.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The second is that if I spend $15,000 before my cards 1 year anniversary date, \u00a0I 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.<\/p>\n<p>So what could I use these Virgin Atlantic miles for? Well, <a href=\"http:\/\/milevalue.com\/dont-miss-13k-miles-to-europe-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\">MileValue has a good writeup <\/a>of how you can go to Europe one way for 13k -16k miles + $100 this summer depending on your airport location.
