      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!
