Via it’s Virgin Red app (available on both Apple’s iOS and Android), Virgin Flying Club is currently offering 3,000 free miles just for signing up.

While 3,000 miles won’t get you particularly far, it’s miles for nothing and a good start to your Flying Club account. If you’re unsure of whether or not to join, while being a very competitive loyalty scheme in itself, Virgin Flying Club also offers a good alternative to those over-reliant on the earning of Avios and availability of BA reward flights, for example.

Plus, as we note below, there may be a particularly good reason for you to sign up to Virgin Flying Club.

Now on the subject of free Virgin Flying Club miles…

We’ve made no secret of the fact that the Grand Prize in our Advent Calendar giveaway is a long-haul redemption flight in Virgin Atlantic’s Upper Class. That’s through us gifting you 80,000 Flying Club miles. To redeem this, you will obviously need to be a member of Virgin Flying Club. So if you have any plans to enter the draw for the Grand Prize, you may as well sign up via a route offering you an initial 3,000 miles in any event.

To benefit from the 3,000 free Flying Club miles, simply download the Virgin Red app via the relevant link above (or here), then click on the offer in the app:

Next, simply follow the instructions for the 3,000 free Virgin Flying Club miles (they should land within 7 days):
