Likely in response to JetBlue’s systemwide double-points promotion, in effect through February 29, Virgin America is also offering double points, but only on select routes.

Offer Details

Between January 19 and February 29, members of Virgin America’s Elevate program can earn double points on the following routes:

• Between San Francisco or Los Angeles and Austin, Boston, Cancun, Chicago, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Honolulu, Maui, Los Cabos, New York, Newark, Orlando, Puerto Vallarta, Seattle, or Washington, DC.

Elite-qualifying points are not doubled with this promotion.

Registration is required.

Deal or No Deal

Non-elite Elevate members normally earn five points per $1 spent on airfare. With the bonus, that’s doubled, to 10 points per $1. And with a value of around 2.2 cents apiece when redeemed for Virgin America flights, those 10 points amount to a 22 percent rebate.

Nice!
