Virgin Atlantic credit card: conditions for 'free' ticket

Spend £15,000 or more a year on your Virgin Credit Card and earn a free companion ticket the next time you book a qualifying flight with Virgin Atlantic. Terms & Conditions apply.

That's from the website, with no link to the T+Cs.

According to the VFC helpline today:
- 'book' = buy, i.e. not redeem
- a 'qualifying' flight is one booked in J, W or Y/B/L - i.e. not D, K or other Y fares.
- the flights can only be booked at the end of the 12 month period, even if the £15,000 is spent earlier in the year - e.g. in my case, I can book from Dec 17, 2003 even if pass the threshold next month
- if I've only spent £14,950 in the 12 months, tough.

Important to know the differences between different operators' offers!
