Buying Virgin Points using Virgin Atlantic Plus card – treated as purchase?

It may be a silly question, but can I use VA CC to buy virgin points? Will I get normal 1.5 point/£ for this purchase?
I would appreciate if anyone can shed some lights as I am worried to get charged for Cash advance fee by doing so.
Many thanks,
Fine to buy and treated as a purchase. Normal purchase points earned; no VS spend bonus
As with most points purchases – it comes through as a purchase from points.com, not from virgin – hence no bonus earning as BWS says above.
Points booster/miles booster purchases are the same.
