Currently, we both hold silver status with Virgin and each have a voucher which I understand are worth 150k points each. Given how much we’ve been kicked in the teeth with the dynamic pricing and the points values on most routes that we fly are shocking, would we be able to use both vouchers on one booking thereby getting 300k points off?
Nope, one voucher per booking
And I guess that if we made a separate booking each, we couldn’t use one each then as it’s a companion voucher?

“if you are travelling alone, you can use your voucher to upgrade a cash or reward ticket by one class”
I think the solution is get a Barclays upgrade voucher and use it to fly somewhere one-way.
Then fly back with Virgin using your vouchers to upgrade.
Easier done if you already have a Barclays voucher!
AFAIK you can still use the vouchers to upgrade 2 people, 1 way. So make 2 separate bookings and use 1 voucher on each? (Unless the surcharges are a lot more doing it that way).
One voucher per booking isn’t quite right. You can use one voucher per person as an upgrade voucher, that is for the difference between the points required for the cabin you fly in compared to the next cabin down. You don’t have to split the booking to do that, and I don’t think it matters that you have one voucher each.
We currently have one booking that uses two vouchers for upgrade in UC for two of us.
Clearly that only works when flying in Premium or Upper Class.
In some cases that might get you 300K points off, but only if the difference between the cabins for both of you for the whole booking is at least that. If you want to fly in UC and can find decently priced redemption flights in Premium having two vouchers and silver/gold status, there may just be some upside in the changes here in that it may offer attainable UC availability that wouldn’t have otherwise existed.
