A bunch of you reached out to say the partnership between Virgin America and Virgin Atlantic is over in less than 2 weeks. Good thing there was a well-articulated announcement. And at least we got plenty of advance notice, right?
Actually, no.
If you’re a person who redeems Virgin Atlantic miles for Virgin America flights or vice versa…you just got screwed. And many of you are in that boat. If you’re affected by this, I strongly recommend calling and/or tweeting them today.
Devaluations? Not great.
No reasonable advance notice? A total lack of common courtesy.
This has been happening way too often lately. You guys earn miles, save them, and transfer points over because you have plans in mind. When something this bad happens this quickly without being announced, it’s clear that you (and your plans) don’t matter.
