Many redemptions using Virgin Atlantic Miles booked by Nov 7 for flights on Virgin to or from the US or Caribbean until March 25 are being provided a 50% points rebate after travel with no blackout dates.
Here are some examples from DC to London flying 1 way without factoring in the 50% rebate:

5k points from the US to the UK is pretty strong, as are those other prices when the 50% rebate is factored into the equation as well as a 30% transfer promo bonus is factored in.
The basics of the promo, per The Points Guy
"Virgin is discounting the number of Virgin Points required for all award seats to and from the United States and the Caribbean by 50% for travel from Oct. 28, 2022, through March 25, 2023... Simply redeem your Virgin Points from Oct. 28, through Nov. 7, 2022, for a flight operated by Virgin Atlantic to any destination they fly in the U.S. or the Caribbean from now through March 25, 2023, on any date in any cabin, and you will receive 50% of your Virgin Points back after you travel. With no blackout dates and all cabins applicable, this is likely to be the best points and miles redemption deal you will see this year." Go here to book.
