reward flight changes

hi all,
hoping someone can answer me this:
i have 2 one way premium economy flights booked....one was booked using the credit card upgrade voucher (paid 25k miles instead of 40k miles) and one was booked using a discounted mileage promotion they were running a few months back (paid 27k miles instead of 40k miles)...
i need to change the dates for these flights, so are the discounted miles i paid good for the new flights, or will virgin ask me for the extra miles to make it up to the usual rate of 40k miles.
thanks for your help.

I also want to change an award flight that I booked at a discounted 12.5 k miles ORD-LHR. Besides the change fee, will I have to pay more miles?

You don't really change the flight, they cancel the existing one and rebook you another.

You'll get back the amount of miles you have currently paid and will then pay whatever the prevailing rate is.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will stick to the original booking, I don't have enough miles to pay the higher rate.

I've changed 2 reward flights that were originally booked with reduced miles. When i changed the destination i was charged the increase in miles. When i only changed the dates, i didn't get charged any more miles.

That's a great data point, thank you for sharing.
