It’s back! Virgin Atlantic is repeating its biggest ever deal for buying Virgin Points!
This offer runs until 7th March.
If you are short of points for your next redemption, then now is a good time to top up as this matches the highest bonus offers we have ever seen from Virgin Atlantic.
The bonus depends on how many points you buy:
- 5,000 to 24,000 points – 20% bonus
- 25,000 to 69,000 points – 40% bonus
- 70,000 to 124,000 points – 60% bonus
- 125,000 to 200,000 points – 70% bonus
The maximum number of points you can buy is 200,000. Since the beginning of 2025, this is the new, permanent maximum you can buy in a calendar year.
It cost £15 per 1,000 points, with the bonus added on top.
At the top end, 200,000 Virgin Points, which comes to 340,000 points with the 70% bonus, will cost you £3,000. This works out at 0.88p each.
0.88p is exceptionally cheap for a direct miles purchase. Most Virgin Atlantic commercial partners will be paying the airline more than 0.88p for their miles. That said, as always, we don’t recommend buying speculatively.
Bonus points are credited at the time of purchase and will appear on members’ accounts within 24 hours, so are a good way of grabbing points quickly if you spot an attractive reward flight.
Virgin Atlantic are a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance. This allows redemptions across partners such as Aeromexico, Air France, China Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Garuda Indonesia, KLM, Korean Air, SAS and Vietnam Airlines. This article from our ‘Virgin Redemption University’ series explains what it costs to redeem Virgin Points on SkyTeam partners.
Points can be bought (or gifted) in increments of 1,000 and there is a one-off £15 charge per transaction (regardless of size). You won’t be able to buy points if your current points balance is zero.

The 70% bonus offer runs to 7th March.
