Virgin loyalty club

Has anyone thought up any cunning plan to take advantage of the Virgin scheme?

I see that you have to spend £55 on Advance First tickets - anyone know if that's single or return? Or spend £35 on an Anytime Single.

Does anyone know if that price includes Disabled Railcard discount (ie if I got a discount on a normal £55 ticket, would that could as £55 in their eyes or £36.85-ish? I guess you could look at it two ways, I could lose out with the discount if I kept on hitting under £55/£35 or I could travel further to get over £55/£35.

Anyone know any interesting routes out of Manchester? I do intend to travel to London quite frequently, but not sure if I'll get the 16 singles in three months. I would probably travel a return at least once a month to London (sometimes twice), but I'd also have someone with me travelling First as well - I suppose Virgin wouldn't accept two lots of tickets from the same time/date.

If anyone's got any experience with this it'll be great to hear!

Advance First tickets only come as single leg tickets, you cannot purchase them as returns.

The price in their eyes would be the lower £36.85(ish) price not the £55 pre-discounted price.
