Virgin’s big change to impact 11 million frequent flyers
Jun 05, 2023, 07:47 PMWonder if tier 1 will also have the same cancellation policy? I wouldn't rule out it being something like a points version of Lite fares.As the policy currently is, when it's borderline between points and cash for value, I always go points as changing and cancelling is much easier and cheaper.

Should you apply for the new Star Alliance credit card?
Nov 09, 2022, 10:35 AMThe monthly sweep of points to a single airline makes this unattractive to me.

May 04, 2023, 05:19 PMIf this is a reference the the four complimentary upgrades given to Virgin platinums, I personally find them hard to use, but mainly because the only times I tend to fly flexible fares is booking relatively close in and flying peak times, so the upgrade space is rarely available.
