I just want to thank the FT community for the following:

1) mike turnbull for the heads up about the comp'd Silver status with VS
2) another FTer on the CC who transferred AmEx MR points to my VS account to trigger the elite back (yay free luggage tag)
3) and a third FTer who let me refer her to Flying Club so I could collect the referral bonus

All told, the generosity of the FT community got me a shiny luggage tag a £50 Virgin Voucher*. Thanks guys!



* I know, using miles for vouchers is poor value, but with no flights to Canada on VS, I wasn't going to accumulate many more miles anytime soon.
