TodayThe Tesco Clubcard site is currently running a 50% bonus offer on Clubcard points exchanged for Virgin Flying Club miles (2 Jan - 5 March). Instead of 625 miles for £2.50 you can get 937 miles. In addition, if you 'opt in' for auto conversion of future Clubcard points to Virgin FC miles within that period you will receive a 1000 mile bonus.
Nice little earner if you have Clubcard point vouchers sitting around at home waiting to be exchanged.

That's great, thanks OP!
I think they ran the 1000 miles promotion for "auto opt in" a little while back but I missed it, and didn't see much point in opting in otherwise.
Nice little bonus with the 50% conversion bonus too

They did run the 1000 miles promo about this time last year when Virgin Atlantic joined the Clubcard scheme. Got those miles and cancelled the auto conversion... Wonder if I'll get the 1000 miles for doing it again...Originally Posted by flood

Will do...
Should have about £30 of Tesco vouchers arriving in February after doing slightly silly things like buying unwanted Cliff Richard CDs and inkjet cartridges to get the bonus points... With this promo that's looking like good value, as long as the vouchers arrive in Feb!
Now need to think whether to burn those Virgin miles before the implications of the Delta deal are fully known...

If you are only redeem VS miles for Economy tickets, don't do it. Even with this promotion, 937 miles (according to my calculation, and open for debate) is worth less than £5 in terms of Economy airfare, when you considering all the tax and surcharges you are going to pay.
For PE, 937 miles probably just around £10 worth of promotional airfare or £15 normal fare, not a bad deal for your £2.50 Tesco voucher.
And for Upper tickets, it will be a bargin when using miles.

Have moved £155 of vouchers over which gives me just shy of 60k virgin miles (with the bonus 1000 for auto convert)
enough for an economy to upper class upgrade to hong kong (the economy flight plus extra taxes etc cost me around £900 last time)
not sure how this compares to other redemption opportunities but i am more than happy with this option
add to that a few nights at Conrad Hong Kong for 25K & 1000HKD - upgraded to exec lounge with my HHonors Diamond and i am very happy

Anyone know how strict virgin are in receiving these miles into a different account compared to the tesco account ? My brother, who lives at the same address as me, has tesco vouchers he doesn't want. I was thinking of getting him to transfer to my virgin account. The surname and address would be the same, but obviously the first name would be different. I have already done a tesco-> virgin transfer from my own tesco account.
Anyone tried this ?
