The largest bonus is 70%, while the smallest is 20%. At the highest bonus, this drops the purchase price to 1.48 cents per point.<\/p>\n<p>The tiered bonus structure for buying Virgin points as part of this deal breaks down as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buy 5,000 to 24,000 points and get a 20% bonus.<\/li>\n<li>Buy 25,000 to 69,000 points and get a 30% bonus.<\/li>\n<li>Buy 70,000 to 124,000 points and get a 60% bonus.<\/li>\n<li>Buy 125,000 to 200,000 points and get a 70% bonus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In other words, if you want a full 70% bonus, be prepared to spend a good chunk of money.<\/p>\n<p>This promotion runs through March 31. According to Flying Club&#8217;s terms and conditions, members can purchase up to 100,000 Virgin points per calendar year; however, the limit has been increased to 200,000 points during this promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Note that bonus points earned with this promotion don&#8217;t count toward that total. All transactions to buy points are also subject to a $22 transaction fee, regardless of the number of Virgin points purchased.<\/p>\n<p>U.S.-registered Flying Club accounts pay slightly more than U.K.-registered accounts for Virgin points. This is because Virgin Atlantic sells points to U.S. accounts at a rate of $25 per 1,000 points before the bonus. U.K. accounts pay 15 British pounds (about $19) per 1,000 points.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-4252866712 tpg-figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-top:0\" class=\"jsx-36530878 full-width-auto-height-image\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative\"><span style=\"box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;padding-top:66.69421487603306%\"\/><noscript><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%\" sizes=\"100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=640 640w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=750 750w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=828 828w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=1080 1080w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=1200 1200w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=1920 1920w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=2048 2048w, https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=3840 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net\/uk\/originals\/2020\/03\/The-Loft.jpg?width=3840\"\/><\/noscript><\/span><\/div><figcaption class=\"jsx-4252866712 figcaption\">DANIEL ROSS\/THE POINTS GUY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a id=\"is-it-worth-it-to-buy-virgin-points\" class=\"jsx-3480274316 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-3480274316\">Is it worth it to buy Virgin points?<\/h2>\n<p>Before jumping into the specifics, it&#8217;s worth mentioning that TPG doesn&#8217;t recommend buying points speculatively. In other words, buying a large sum of points may not be a good idea if you have no immediate use for the purchased points. That&#8217;s because airline currencies are generally a bad long-term investment \u2014 at any moment, they could be devalued with little notice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&#10;        EmailSignUp_container__qYzYT&#10;        undefined&#10;        EmailSignUp_isLoading__i_qm0&#10;      \"><picture class=\"EmailSignUp_graphic__zgpFm\"><source media=\"screen and (max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-mob.svg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/images\/EmailSignUp\/daily-dt.svg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_form__C8FWb\">\n<p>Daily Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG\u2019s experts<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/when-to-buy-points-miles\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">When does it make sense to buy points and miles?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, if you have a use for the points, this is a great opportunity to increase your Flying Club account balance. <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/monthly-valuations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TPG values<\/a> Virgin points at 1.5 cents apiece.
