Get 22,500 Virgin Atlantic miles for moving an EXISTING Stocks & Shares ISA to Virgin Money

Virgin Money has launched a very interesting new offer for anyone who is interested in transferring an EXISTING Stocks & Shares ISA.
Virgin Money has offered Virgin Flying Club miles for many years to people who have taken out new Stocks & Shares ISAs. I will look at this again over the weekend as the mileage offer is now up to 8,000 miles.
This is the first time it has ever offered an incentive for doing a transfer, however.
Take a look at this page of the Virgin Money website.
This is how it works.
Virgin Money will add up the total value of incoming Stocks & Shares ISA transfers you make between 8th April and 31st August as long as the account was opened by 30th June. As long as the money remains in your account at 31st December 2019, you will receive a bonus of Virgin Flying Club miles in January 2020.
For clarity, this offer does NOT apply to transfers of cash ISAs to Virgin Money.
This is how many miles you can earn:
£5,000 – £9,999 transferred = 5,000 Virgin Flying Club miles
£10,000 – £19,999 transferred = 7,500 Virgin Flying Club miles
£20,000 – £34,999 transferred = 12,500 Virgin Flying Club miles
£35,000+ transferred = 22,500 Virgin Flying Club miles
There is a lot to think about before you take advantage of this offer. You need to take a look at the fees charged by Virgin Money and how they compare with your current provider. Your existing ISA provider may charge a transfer fee which makes the deal uneconomic. Whilst Virgin Money has a number of different funds you can invest in, they may not be a perfect match for your current investment strategy.
