Best ways to get extra Virgin Atlantic points for free flights?

Hi All, 

I'm new to the concept of airline miles, and I'm trying to save as much as I can in the process of planning a trip for Disney Orlando in 2024 for the kids. Part of that mission includes collecting as many Virgin Atlantic points as I can to get heavily discounted flights, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any tricks I've not done yet. So far I've:

1. Done a banking/savings switch to Virgin for 20,000 points
2. Signed up for the Virgin Atlantic Reward+ credit card for the free 15,000 points on your first transaction and plan to spend the required £10,000 (my food shopping and petrol bill, paid off in full every month) for a free companion flight and to get the 15,000 further points
3. Exchanged 150,000 IHG points for 30,000 points
4. Exchanged £25 clubcard points for just over 6,000 points and signed up to auto-exchange future tesco clubcard points
5. Bought our annual travel policy from them for a further 3,500 points
6. Got my sister to add our flight club number to her frequent flights back and forth to Amsterdam with the partner airline KLM for about 5,000 points per flight

Is there anything I've missed? Any ways to swoop a big haul of points?

Thanks everyone!
Deb
