Six month extension – Gold
The expiry date of the Gold membership year has been extended by six months for this current membership year only (“Extended Membership Year”). For example if the original membership year was due to expire on 30 April 2020, the new expiry date will be 31 October 2020.
1000 tier points need to be earned during the 18 month Extended Membership Year for Gold status to be maintained for another 12 months.
A new membership card will not be sent to cover the extra six months of the Extended Membership Year. The Extended Membership Year will be viewable online. The digital membership card can be viewed and printed online, or downloaded via the Virgin Atlantic app.
If at least 1000 tier points have already been earned in the current membership year, the Companion reward will be credited to the Flying Club account at the end of the Extended Membership Year.
