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.
