Oh God yes. Remember the otherweek when we told you that Virgin Blue were teasing the idea that they were giving away a trip on Virgin Galactic? Well they are. Or, to be more precise, they’re giving away 25 million Velocity frequent flyer points, which is enough to claim your place on a trip to space. More »
Tipster Brian Houston over at Videosift.com received an email from Virgin’s Velocity rewards program with the above image attached. He reckons it’s hinting at the ability to redeem your Velocity frequent flyer points for a seat on their Virgin Galactic flights. I reckon he’s probably right. Obviously we’ll have to wait for February to come around before we know for certain, but if it is the case, expect to pay an absolute crapload of frequent flyer points for the privilege. In fact, if you don’t already fly Virgin everywhere, and have a Velocity rewards credit card for all your expenses, I’d say you probably won’t ever earn enough points to redeem a Galactic flight. In any case, we’ll see what Virgin have to say come February…
