Aren't short Delta flights in Business / First Class worth 75 TPs each? A cheap hop around the U.S. would do it, but you obviously have to be over there in the first place.

You can do MAN - BOS for 1,450 return in Upper (Z) that would net 200 Tier points on any Wed or Sat in Apr.
Not as good as the 1,000 Upper offer a month or so ago but still a pleasant and easy way to get to Gold.

Thanks for the replies..
Want TPs as cheaply as possible, time rich but cash poor!
I'm based in London, but dont mind hopping across the pond. Concerned with Delta domestic, as i recently missed out on Delta Tier Points/Miles as I flew a Delta Flight connection flight, but virgin will only award Tier/Miles on Delta connection if its a virgin ticket...
Passengers are able to earn Virgin Atlantic miles on Delta flights, but have never been able to earn miles on Delta Partner flights, for example, if you fly on a Delta flight that is operated by GoJet. Please take a look at the following link for further information on this:

Only on the valentines day deal. Before that it was 999 per person, no 2 people requirement.

If you fly on a Delta flight and choose Virgin Atlantic as your FF account, entering your VA FF#, you should earn VA miles, bonuses, and tier points. You can check this on the VA site under Earning with Partners.

Yes it's pedantic but people sometimes mean V Australia or V America and it avoids confusion

100% back this up. I take a lot of domestic Delta flights all booked through and ticketed by Delta and as long as I add my Flying Club number to the booking I get the miles / tier points credited within a day or two without fail and this includes Delta Connection flights.
