"Earn up to 5,000 Flying Club bonus miles when you add additional authorized users to your Card"
T & C doesn't mention any bonus points for adding additional authorized users.
What does "up to 5000 bonus miles" equate to? How many additional users do I need to earn the complete 5000 bonus miles?
Do I need to add addtional users at the time of the application or after I receive the card?

You will receive 2,500 Flying Club miles for each of the first two authorized users added to your Card. As the primary Cardmember, you are responsible for all account activity incurred by additional users of your Card, in accordance with your Credit Card Agreement.

I received an email from Flying Club this morning with the 65,000 offer. The details are the same as the version that just died.

The approval page had a few lines on it, but it went to the Virgin Atlantic home page before I could read all of it! Besides my credit limit, did I miss anything important?

Happy to help!
I'm pumped, because I wanted to add the VS card to my app-party next month. Hopefully, it sticks around that long.

[Expired]VS Amex with 65000* mile bonus
I applied for the card when it went down to the 25,000 bonus and I just called and talked to someone and she said I am still listed as getting the 50,000. So I guess even though it's not showing the full 50,000 anymore the computers are still giving it. Weird. Hope she's telling the truth

Good to know.
For the bonus, one may just it for a online purchase as they can't tell which card is used and will assume the terms meet.

Actually they do.
While this is not specific to this card, but as a general matter, the banks know which card is used. You are unable to view it on your statement, (not always but in most cases) but the internal records know which card is used.
The mag tape stores the AU's name and other identifier. I found this out when AU card was compromised and the bank called. They specifically asked if the AU was traveling (the charges were made in Mexico). They knew it was the AU card being used (a cloned one from info stolen, probably at the doctor's office as that was the only place, only time the AU card was used in 3 months' period.), and all transactions were POS transactions. So right out of bat they knew it was a cloned card once they verified the AU did not leave home and the card was in our possession.

For those who applied using Noobtraveler's link, could you confirm that it the 65k bonus miles when you call to active the CC.
Unfortunately I have to wait about a month to apply as I have to make minimum spending on my 2 citi HH and Amex HH cards first.
EDIT----I am so IMPATIENT...Just applied using the link from NOOB and received approval for 15k CL.
Now I will have the Virgin Atlantic (100k) and the AMEX HH and 2 Citi HH I applied 3 weeks ago for total of 250k Hilton Honors point.....YIPEE!!!!

You didn't miss anything. I saw the same as you but I called 1-877-721-9405 for application status and confirmed that it is 20k bonus miles for first spending and 25k extra miles for $2500 spend in 90 days. I also entered an additional card user on the application form and CSR told me that the ONE card user will give me 5k points.
