Worked! Now if they had that for Virgin America it would be awesome!!
this is crazy!!! thanks!!!
this is much more beneficial than the BMI silver
.)As a Gold member, whichever class you fly in you’ll automatically receive priority airport standby, priority boarding, plus priority baggage loading, and an additional 20kg baggage allowance. Gold members travelling on Singapore Airlines in either Business or Economy can also use Singapore Airlines’ Business Class check in counters, and relax in either their Premier Lounge or Business Class area of the SilverKris Lounges around the world.*
.)You also have individual access to Virgin Atlantic’s Revivals lounge when flying into London Heathrow on a ‘VS’ prefix ticket. It’s the best way to get refreshed after a long haul flight before exploring the city. *I think that VS prefix tickets are all code-share Virgin flight so if you book a virgin flight thru continental lets say on a stopover to Israel this can be useful
wat are the benefits
thank you very much is awesome gold with virgin and Silver with BMI without flying
mine just says i am a gold member. is that correct?
i sighned up and did it but it dosent say if its gold or not jts says flying club in the backround and my name and flying number is small how do i know tht i rrealy got gold status…?

@mark:
No. You can try to make a new account.
Are there any benefits that can be used when flying other airlines in the US?

Did i do something wrong?
I got gold, then did it for my girlfriend and she got red! Is there a way to fix that?! 🙁
i also only got red membership why???
This is now dead
i just did it and got red why??
Too slow!!! It’s Over!!!
@alan: #
Too late!!! It’s over!!!
can’t believe I got one and JUSSSSSTTTTT missed the second by minutes. Oh well. Do you know if they’ll let someone else in the singapore business lounge WITH me if we’re flying on the same itinerary?
so i clicked on sign up for flying club, but it doesnt confirm that im a gold member. just confirms im a member.
did i do something wrong dan?
:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
only got red
does continental status match?
@ari: One of your benifits is that you could nominate someone to get Silver status.
“Spread the love: You’re entitled to a supplementary Silver membership for someone aged 18 or over sharing your home address. They’ll enjoy all of the benefits of Flying Club Silver while you will be able to spend miles from their account and reach rewards more quickly. ”

DEad
Can someone help me, on why i am only red and not gold? I don’t see much instructions. Is there anything to do more than click on the sign up link and fill in the info?
Just signed up myself (14:08 EST on 2/9/10), and got RED as well… 🙁
dead deal
i got red too i guess its over
damn, i missed it. but who cares, how often do we all fly virgin atlantic?
FYI – If you sign up for yourself and your spouse using the same home address and telephone number, Virgin Atlantic’s system sees you both as the same person and will not allow the 2nd person to sign up. I spoke to VA’s customer service rep who instructed me to use another address and phone number for my husband and it worked fine.
anyone figure out how to status match this baby elsewhere?
Dead as a doorknob, tried twice
Ok, Listen up guys & Gals,
Call the Gold 800 number and ask that it should be upgraded to Gold. They will look into this and see that it was linked thru FOCUS GROUP INSTANT GOLD link and a supervisor should upgrade to gold.
Thanks DAN!
Does this still work?
Whats the @DanFan2:
Whats the gold 800 number?
I think this deal has sent the Virgin Atlantic site into a melt-down!
it didnt work for me. anyone got any idea how to do it?
WOW!! I finaly get thru and Got RED!!! YES!! Just as i was hoping for. Why do I try this stuff?? Not quite sure.
Doesn’t work. I tried for an hour to get on their website via the link, but it was down. Finally called in, but no go on the gold. Just now I tried again via the link and successfully signed up, logged in, and I’m only at red.
@Daniel:
Maybe that’s why you should read the comments and updates on the top of the post. They’re not there for my health ‘ya know.
This is fake!
@BBBB:
Sometimes I wonder why I bother 🙁
@Freddie:
Seems 1-800-898-7577
thanks alot dan. I got in. can you use virgin atlantic gold to get status matched with any other good airlines?
@dan/ctownbochur: just ignore the upnocious people.
Dan, I hope you mean why you bother approving ignorant posts. So many of us appreciate your site and are very grateful you do bother posting these great deals!! Thank you.
Has anyone called the 800 number with any success? I chose to send an email instead. I will update if I hear back from them.
Just got Red only……anyone try calling the 800# and get upgraded?
The link still works. You sure its dead?
Thanks for your work dan. I got gold status and I was wondering how I can get my card even before I fly like that I can get the benefits on the first time I fly with them thanks again
thanx Dan it worked for me. i happened to check your site soon after you posted it.
I called the 800 number and the reps didnt know what I was talking about!
ps..the rep said the only way to get free gold status is with the centurion card. she said I was just calling the call center and she knew nothing.
Who needs this virgin anyways.
Any way to get the card like with BMI? Tx Dan
Any status matches?
i got RED what to do to upgrade to gold?
why red and not gold
@DanFan2:
I called the number and they asked what company I work for. do you know what company this is for?
I just recieved an email from virgin atlantic saying the following: anybody else get something like this?
Thank you for your email and apologies for the delayed response.
I’m sorry to say that the online source of the instant Gold promotion was invalid and not authorised by Virgin Atlantic. Upon being made aware of the presence of this promotion online, our marketing team deactivated the instant Gold enrolment process.
This does mean that a tier status upgrade from Red to Gold will not be offered. I know that this is not the answer you wanted to hear but we feel it is only fair to offer Gold status to our most loyal members.
If you would like to find out more about the benefits of Flying Club and the activity required to move up a tier, please visit our website on the link below,
Just received this email:
You recently applied for Instant Flying Club Gold membership through an unofficial online channel. As a result, you were not made aware of the terms and conditions or criteria to qualify for the offer.
We are pleased to say that, if you meet the qualification criteria, we’ll be happy to honour your Instant Gold membership. If not, don’t worry, your membership will simply revert to its original status. Or, if you are new to Flying Club, you will become a Red member.
If you weren’t already aware, Flying Club is Virgin Atlantic’s seriously rewarding loyalty programme. And whether you’re a Red, Silver or Gold member, you’ll earn Flying Club miles every time you fly with us*, or use our network of airline, hotel and car rental partners. You can even earn miles when you shop online with wide variety of high street retailers.
You can spend your miles on Virgin Atlantic reward flights, cabin upgrades and more. From a day of rally driving to a trip into space with Virgin Galactic, the choice is yours. And it doesn’t take long to reach the rewards you want either, you can take advantage of great value Miles Plus Money fares from just 2,000 miles, and you can always Buy Miles to top up your balance at anytime.
So welcome to Flying Club, regardless of how you got here, it’s great to have you onboard!
