Interesting timing, what with new dynamic points being released on 30th Oct
No one has a clue if VP have been devalued or not yet

No reason to take a punt on Virgin points till we know what is happening on November 1, 2024.

I am still debating if this is a good non Amex card to have – considering the annual fee – what are the thoughts from other savvy point gurus?

Based on what I can see stick to Avios (Barclaycard) or cashback.

Thanks – I see their monthly fee is £20 that’s quite pricey too – what additional benefits does that provide over the virgin card please?

Personally I think it’s a punt given the apparent gutting of the VS scheme. It’s still early days and it may well settle down in time but atm, decent redemption opportunities seem few and far between.
The Avios scheme in comparison provides much more obtainable opportunities and with a wider network.
