It looks like thousands of people are unhappy with the fact EC is changing hands, personally I don't blame them because apparently Virgin's service can be pretty sh1te at times

Quite a bit of backlash at them doing away with the current reward scheme and changing it to Nectar.

Won't Nectar points be able to be used on VTEC services, like how Rewards. used to be like?

People can use they Nectar card, at say, Sainsbury's, and then use their Nectar points against a ticket purchase?

Yeah, they will be able to use their Nectar points at Sainsburys and tickets on VTEC, however you will need to spend quite a bit more on tickets to get the same free tickets through the current Reward scheme.

255pts on the current scheme would get you a free standard single, to anywhere on the network.
It will get you a sandwich from Sainsburys under the new scheme.

Apparently a focus group approved a scheme which could be used in a wide range of situations.
They obviously didn't realise how bad it would get

VTEC are offering a points amnesty, where 1 reward point, would be worth 6 Nectar.
My 1200pts would get me 2 first class singles and just fall short of a standard single as it stands.
Or, if I take up the offer 7,200 Nectar points (equiv to £72 at Sainsburys).

What exactly is happening with EC Rewards, someone was telling me recently VTEC will honour rewards outstanding for a while...

As for the livery, will it end up looking like The Pretendolino Livery

Last day to buy tickets, so you benefit from Rewards rather than Nectar.
Remember, you get points for postage - so worth paying the £1 charge, knowing the point will be added to your account. Handy if you just fall short.
The First Class lounges cost a fiver, but again, you get points added to your account.

Then come September when all the points are used up, you can transfer to BA and get their points for London flights.
Unless it has changed, two round trips bring a free single. The points are based per flight, rather than price paid.
