Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
There are two UK credit cards that let you earn Virgin Points directly: the free Virgin Atlantic Reward Mastercard (3,000 points bonus) and the paid-for Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Mastercard (18,000 points bonus).
The cards comes with a 2-4-1 or upgrade voucher when you spend £10,000 or £20,000 per year respectively. The voucher is valid for two years and can be used on cash or points flights.
You can read our full review of the free Virgin Atlantic Reward credit card here and our review of the Virgin Atlantic Reward+ credit card here.
You can apply for the free card here (3,000 Virgin Points bonus) and the Reward+ card here (18,000 Virgin Points bonus).
