If you’re booking train travel over the bank holiday weekend, why not make it extra rewarding with Virgin Trains Ticketing?

When you book with Virgin Trains Ticketing, you’ll earn three Virgin Points for every £1 you spend – so if your ticket is £20, that’s 60 Virgin Points on top of a trip you’d be doing anyway. Better yet, every booking you make until 27 August 2023 is an opportunity to earn one millions points!

It’s time to jump on board, but how else can you hack your way to your dream points balance?

Book a getaway with Booking.com

Booking a bank holiday getaway in the UK or Europe with Booking.com will get you eight Virgin Points for every £1 you spend. Plus, Booking.com Genius members can also get access to Genius benefits too – where you can enjoy more discounts and travel rewards. More getaways = more perks.

Get out of the country and boost your points

Wherever you go over the long weekend, book your travel to the airport with Virgin Trains Ticketing and earn Virgin Points. And if you’re flying with Virgin Atlantic**, you’ll build up Virgin Points in the air.

Whether you’re travelling by land or sea, there are loads of ways to earn. For example, if you’re heading to Miami for a breath-taking Virgin Voyage***, if you get a train to the airport with Virgin Trains Ticketing and fly with Virgin Atlantic, you’ll have bumped your points before you even set sail for the Caribbean.

Fuel your body with a train takeaway

Finally, if you’re planning on staying in the UK this bank holiday but need to fuel your bank holiday excursions with some good old grub, why not earn Virgin Points on Deliveroo and take your lunch, coffee or snacks onto the train? Virgin Points earned on train tickets and Virgin Points earned on eating. Two of the best things.
