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 and the paid-for Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Mastercard.
If you are committed to Virgin Atlantic, the Reward+ credit card is your best choice. It comes with a sign-up bonus of 15,000 Virgin Points and a 2-4-1 or upgrade voucher when you spend £10,000 per year. The voucher is valid on cash or points flights.
