Save Money Booking Virgin Atlantic Flights Through American Express

Intro

American Express is one of the better credit card companies out there when it comes to offers it puts up on the table for customers. Over the past few years, we have seen AMEX offer significant savings when booking flights through their credit cards, such as ITA Airways as an example. Well, the latest offer is on the table and it it quite good.

The Details

Starting today, there is a new targeted bonus indicating that when you spend 2000$ or more on Virgin Atlantic flights, you will receive a 300$ statement credit to your credit card. This means that if you find a flight that is 2010$, the total cost would end up being 1710$. However, there are certain terms that customers must be aware of.

• The flight has to be booked by June 30th. This doesn't mean that you have to travel by June 30th, but rather the ticket just has to be booked.

• In order to receive the statement credit, the ticket must be booked on some sort of screen, you cannot call to book or cannot book at the airport.

• The flight MUST originally depart from the USA (outbound) and be fully charged in USD.

• The flight must be booked through Virgin Atlantic, so even if you book a flight on VS through Delta, it will not count.

This deal should be able to be redeemed even when on award tickets: thanks to the huge surcharges, this isn't that difficult to obtain 😅

As some people have noted: this exact offer varies from card to card, and some people have reported an 1800$ minimum spend for a 250$ credit. Interesting.

Final Thoughts

If you happen to be based in the United States, have an American Express card, and are thinking about heading overseas soon, Virgin Atlantic and AMEX have partnered up to give back a 300$ statement credit on a transaction over 2000$ when flying Virgin Atlantic.l If the schedule looks good, this might be something to take advantage of.
