    Use virgin to book (any) tickets via cashback sites and get up to £5 cashback on minimum purchase of £7.

    I'm trying to work out if every single ticket has to be more than seven pounds or if it relates to the total value of your basket. Can anyone help?

    It's per basket - you only get one £5 cashback per basket, no matter what value they are, or how many tickets are in it.

    So if each ticket costs more than £7, buy each one seperately.

    So if I buy two 4 pound tickets in one transaction do I get the cashback or do the tickets have to be more than seven pounds?

    EDIT: Looks like it might be too late - cashback offer has disappeared from the usual sites - though still going at cashbackkings
