    Interesting perk with the new Virgin credit card in the US – up to 50 tier points per month based on spend.

    I know that UK credit cards can’t compete with their equivalents across the pond on rewards, but offering tier points seems a slightly different concept that wouldn’t be based on how much the CC company makes. Potentially a sign of what might come to the UK?

    It’s not even that competitive an offering for the US, is it, so seems unlikely that we’d see anything interesting here?

    Whilst the headline bonus isn’t that attractive, I think it’s competitive for Americans that don’t fly often. Remember virgin flight redemptions earn tier points, on top of what you earn from the card. Additionally, the two perks a year could be valued at $300 to $500 each

    Maybe, but I’m a UK/US dual citizen and this doesn’t even register as anything remotely interesting compared to the other US cards that I have or would even consider applying for. Perhaps others might have a different view.
