Exchanging stray BA miles to Virgin FF miles

Is this possible and if so how do you do it?!!?

Hello and welcome to V-Flyer

The simple answer in no I'm afraid. It's virtually impossible to transfer miles from any OneWorld carrier into Flying Club.

You could possibly do it via a hotel chain program but you would loose a lot in the transfer.

I was in the same boat with 25K Qantas miles just sat there doing nothing. In the end, I've spent on a Qantas flight.

thanks for that.
i've heard of points brokers... anyone heard anything about this / them???

Points brokers only work for schemes where you can purchase/transfer miles for members of a FFP. (such as UA's MP system)

I've yet to hear of one that works with VS...

ah! ok. thanks for the info.

I thought there was a way to do this via HHonors (Or maybe it was another hotel scheme), but as I recall you lost a lot of miles in the transfer.

will have a hunt. if not will keep them for a rainy BA day
