I have a decent stash of Virgin points, and a voucher. and I wouldn’t speculatively top up with MRs if I had a lot of BA points and a voucher. The issue is the Virgin network is almost duplicated entirely by BAs. The odd exclusive route Virgin has in the Caribbean with no BA competition has very poor award availability in my experience.

Some Virgin partnerships offer value but a transfer to another airline in a major alliance is likely to offer greater choices for partner redemption than Virgin can.

Just my 2p. If you fly to North America frequently Virgin might be a fabulous choice.
