Note-because of the merger with Alaska Airlines, the Virgin America Elevate Program will end on January 1, 2018
Below, I outline the main ways in which to earn and accumulate Virgin America Elevate points.
1. Fly Virgin America
Earn five points per dollar on your base fare for Virgin America flights.
2. Fly One Of Virgin America’s Airline Partners
You earn Elevate points with Virgin America Partner Airlines based on the type of fare you purchase and the distance you fly. So the farther you go, the more points you earn. For example, and if your purchase an economy ticket, you will earn 40% of the miles flown and an upper class ticket yields 60% of the miles flown.
