Elevated BoA Virgin Atlantic Black Card Offer

Flying Club members, check your inbox. This is the same as the standard offer, except for those 50k bonus miles for $12k spend. This is extremely tempting, but I'm going to hold off since I don't want to apply for any new cards right now. By TPG value, the 20k + 50k would be worth $1,050 - nearly enough for 2 round-trips from East Coast to London in Economy Classic (or a round-trip in Premium), or lots and lots of Delta flights (without the big surcharges).

Thanks for sharing @K-in-Boston. I got the same email offer. Very, very tempting indeed.

I really like that card design. Too bad we're not closer to a Virgin hub here (exception being the Spaceport, but that is a few hours away).

@SomewhereIn505 I did get another email recently from Virgin that they are combining all of the Virgin brands into a single loyalty program, so I'm assuming you would earn 3x on Virgin Galactic as of next year. And since it's Bank of America, the chances of your credit line being high enough to actually pay for one of those tickets is better than most lenders.
