Last month I booked a mile qualifying flight to Miami in the knowledge that it would take my balance up to 40,000 (enough, at the time, to get a free flight later in the year). Obviously I paid more to get the mile qualifying fare. But when I go to book the free flight I find its now 50,000 for Miami! Did I imagine the 40,000 or did they increase the number of miles required in the last few weeks? When I booked the flight, I opted not to get the online booking bonus miles in favour of being able to spaek to Virgin personnel to confirm that I would have enough miles for the second flight. Any comments or advice as to whether its worth approaching Virgin about it appreciated. Thanks
