They were advertising it at 7am on the web site but any searches showed no discounting of points. By 8:30am they had taken it down.

It's back now, but you can't book SQ online, at any points cost.

No more flatbeds with VA J. Since this is VA metal only I'll sit out of this one. Can't think of any decent Y routes for VA.

Yeah I saw it on Facebook on both the Virgin and Velocity pages as sponsored ads, but I guess it was premature advertising as the promo didn't start until 10:01 a.m.

The original T&C's I read at 7am indicated it was from from 00:01 this morning ... that was changed with the revision.

I am thinking it relates to GDS's using UTC / GMT.

J has always been 65K.

I confirmed by calling Virgin as well. Only valid on VA
Correct, my bad , I was looking at the one stop option when i quoted the 80.5K and thought the sale included SQ . Original Post removed.

The 10SC thing is just hotels, car hire, rewards store - not flights
