Virgin America Elevate Buy Points 30% Bonus Until December 23, 2015

Reading Time: 3 mins read

Virgin America has a new offer for buying Elevate points and getting 30% bonus. This bonus is valid for purchases made until December 23, 2015

Virgin America Buy Elevate Points 30 Percent Bonus December 23 2015 U

You can buy up to 60,000 Virgin America Elevate points per calendar year before any bonuses. Under this offer 20,000 points are upped to 26,000 points with the bonus (if you buy the maximum). 

You can access this offer on Virgin America’s website here.

Virgin America Buy Elevate Points 30 Percent Bonus December 23 2015 Price

The price of 26,000 Elevate points is $1040. The price of a point purchased under this offer is exactly 4 cents each.

Buying Elevate points to use them on Virgin America flights makes absolutely no sense at all. All the awards are priced dynamically and the maximum value that is attached to the point is capped at 2.15 cents each.

You can, however, also use Virgin America Elevate points for flights with Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Australia and on Emirates.

There are some deals for Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia flights (practically no fuel surcharges outside of VA’s US flights) that may make buying Elevate points worthwhile for you.

You can use Virgin America’s partner award calculator to find out the number of Elevate points and charges required for awards using various partners.

Conclusion

Buying Elevate points for using them on Virgin America is a horrible value proposition (no value at all). If you buy to use them for flights on Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia (maybe on Emirates as well), the value proposition could be there.

Virgin America was offering 70% bonus on purchased points back in September. Unless you need some points for partner awards right now, I would sit down and wait for a better offer.

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

The bonus point offer available when you buy or gift Elevate points between December 7 to 23, 2015. Price includes all applicable charges. GST/HST will be charged to Canadian Residents.

For international reward bookings, Virgin America guests are responsible for the taxes and fees incurred from international travel.
