Redeem Virgin Atlantic Miles for Virgin America Award Flights (Complete Route Network from SFO)

Posted on by . 17 Replies

Good morning everyone.  Last week, I was talking to a friend about converting Virgin Atlantic miles into Hilton HHonors points (2:3 transfer ratio).  If you are interested in the transfer process, here is a post I wrote about the process.  My *wise* friend reminded me that Virgin Atlantic miles could be used for travel on Virgin America (an airlines I fly frequently from SFO).  When I looked at the Virgin Atlantic award chart for travel on Virgin America, I only saw 14 routes to/from San Francisco.  What about the other Virgin America routes to/from San Francisco?

Disclaimer: This post only focuses on Virgin America routes to/from SFO, but you can follow the same steps below to find routes from your home airport.  I only researched Main Cabin (aka economy class) awards on Virgin America, not Main Cabin Select or First Class award prices.  Lastly, Virgin Atlantic can only book Virgin America award flights if there is award space available, so YMMV.

Receive 5,000 Virgin America Elevate Miles for Creating a New Account Before 9/24 (Targeted Offer)

Posted on by . 17 Replies

Good evening everyone.  I received a targeted offer from Virgin America in the form of a postcard that offers me 5,000 Virgin America Elevate miles for creating a new Virgin America account.  This is strange because I already have a Virgin America account, I status matched to Virgin America Elevate Gold elite status, and I was recently approved for the Comenity Virgin America Premium Visa Signature Credit Card.  Apparently, Virgin America still does not think I have a Virgin America account.  The small print on the front of the postcard says that this offer is only available for those living at the address printed on the postcard, but you are welcome to create a new Virgin America account and see if you get the 5,000 bonus Virgin America Elevate miles.

How to Request Missing or Lost Virgin America Credit Card $150 Discount Companion Code

Posted on by . 2 Replies

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  I played tourist in San Francisco and rode a bright yellow GoCar around the city, down Lombard Street and up to Coit Tower, then I had a delicious dinner at Boudin’s at Fisherman’s Wharf.  Anyway, I have an important post for anyone with the Comenity Virgin America Premium Visa Signature Credit Card.  I was recently approved for this credit card during my June 2016 App-O-Rama.  As a cardmember perk, you get a companion code discount worth up to $150 off a Virgin America flight every year you pay the $149 annual fee (Virgin America’s version of the Alaska Airlines companion pass).

Virgin America $150 Discount Off Companion TicketThe terms and conditions of the discount companion code say that the code will be emailed 6-8 weeks after you paid the annual fee.  I paid the annual fee longer than that, but I did not receive the email from Virgin America (it could have been mistakenly deleted, went to spam, or just never sent – I don’t know what is more likely).  In this post, I will show you how to request the missing or lost Virgin America discount companion code.

Using Points.com to Exchange JetBlue TrueBlue Miles into Amtrak Guest Reward Points

Posted on by . 13 Replies

Good morning everyone.  In today’s super long/boring post, I will show you how to use Points.com to exchange miles/points from one loyalty program into another loyalty program.  Before I go on, let me explain that Points.com is somewhat similar to Award Wallet because you can add loyalty programs to your account and track their balances.  You may be familiar with Points.com if you have ever looked into buying airline miles or hotel points, since Points.com is the broker for most loyalty programs.  I am not going to talk about buying miles/points today.  Instead, I am going to talk about exchanging miles/points from one loyalty program into another loyalty program.  First things first, you need a free Points.com account and you will need to add your loaylty programs.  Here are a few of my accounts that are currently tracked by Points.com.

Citi AT&T Access More, US Bank Korean Air & Comenity Virgin America Credit Card Art and Info

Posted on by . 11 Replies

Good morning everyone, happy Wednesday!  Sorry for not writing during the last few days, I was in Pismo Beach riding ATVs on the sand dunes over the weekend and busy earlier this week.  Sneak peek: I have a great upcoming blog post about what to do with 50,000 JetBlue TrueBlue Points that doesn’t involve flying on JetBlue – stay tuned!  In this post, I will share some interesting pieces of info about 3 of my new credit cards that I was recently approved for during my June App-O-Rama.  If you haven’t done so already, please read the first credit card post: Bank of America Amtrak, Alaska Airlines Biz & Barclays Lufthansa Credit Card Art and Info.  Here is a look at these 3 new credit cards:

  • Citi AT&T Access More World MasterCard
  • US Bank Korean Air SkyPass Visa Signature Credit Card
  • Comenity Virgin America Visa Signature Credit Card

Here is the front and back of my Citi AT&T Access More World MasterCard.  The word “access” is somewhat transparent and allows light to travel through the credit card.  Like most Citi credit cards, the card number is on the back of the card and there are no raised letters or numbers.

Here is the approval letter that came with the credit card.  The letter covers the sign up bonus details and says my Experian credit score is 766 (which is slightly higher than my Experian credit score of 759 that came with my Bank of America welcome letter).
