OK, but some of us were hoping that the offer would be competitive with the Amex BA card.
Everybody will have their own views, but I'm disappointed that the 'free' ticket does not go alongside a redemption ticket, that there is no incentive to use the card on Virgin purchases (the BA card offers up to 3 BA miles for BA purchases), that the £15,000 threshold is less flexible than the BA card.
I'm also disappointed that the terms and conditions are not explained until you ask for them. After all, they're quite restrictive.
As for shopping at Tesco, I guess we'll carry on earning 1.5 BA miles per £ and use the Virgin card for places like Boots who don't take Amex.
I can't help feeling that a significant opportunity has been missed.
