[Amex offer] [YMMV] Virgin Atlantic 10k MR for $500+ spent by 10/31/17

It surely looks like American express is pushing out a bunch of travel related offers recently. Unfortunately, this one looks targeted so hopefully you are selected.

detail:

get 10k MR for flight origin from US and booked through Virgin Atlantic directly by 10/31/17

Conclusion:

This is at least 20% off ($100 off $500) for airfare; too bad I don't currently plan on going to Europe right now but who knows, maybe we'll discover some cheap tickets soon!
