This November and December, we're bankrolling the bills for three lucky winners. It could be you.
All you have to do is use your Virgin Atlantic American Express® Card from Bank of America. Every time you make a purchase during November and December, we add another entry for you into the drawing. The more purchases you make, the better the odds are we'll pay off your bill up to $10,000.
Whether you buy a "festive" holiday sweater, a new home entertainment system, gifts for everyone on your list or your weekly groceries, if you're one of our winners you'll get that money back up to $10,000.
To boost your chances of having us foot the bill, use your Card for all your purchases, the big gifts and the everyday items during the season of giving... and maybe receiving.
