Virgin Atlantic's just announced a fun new loyalty perk called "High Five," and it's all about rewarding long-term flyers. Basically, if you fly with them in five separate calendar years, starting in 2026, you'll snag a sweet 12,000 bonus Flying Club points.

Now, why should you care? Well, those 12,000 points are enough for a round-trip economy flight across the Atlantic! The catch? It takes five years to earn them, so it's definitely a long-game strategy. Still, if you're a Virgin Atlantic regular, it's essentially a free flight just for doing what you already do. Just make sure to credit those flights to your Flying Club account! This could be a nice little boost to your points balance for future adventures.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
