Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is the frequent-flyer program for Virgin Atlantic. Instead of miles, you earn ‘Virgin Points’ which can be used for a range of redemptions at Virgin companies and partners, including Virgin Voyages, Virgin Wines, Experience Days and of course flights.
If you are interested in earning Virgin Points from UK credit card spend then you should read this article comparing the two Virgin Atlantic credit cards.
The Virgin Atlantic website is here.
You can apply for the Virgin Atlantic credit cards here and earn a bonus of 3,000 points on the free card or 18,000 points on the paid card.
