Credit limits may vary based on your individual circumstances and the Reward+ Credit Card also offers 0% interest for six months on balance and money transfers (3% fee).

But wait, there’s more! On top of earning up to 30,000 Virgin Points bonus you’ll get 1.5 Virgin Points for every £1 you spend, plus three extra Virgin Points for every pound spent with Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Atlantic Holidays.

And when you spend £10,000 or more, you’ll unlock an upgrade or companion voucher which is valid for two years. You can only earn one reward every 12 months. Your voucher will show as ‘Virgin Atlantic Credit Card Voucher – 0 points’ in your Virgin Atlantic Flying Club account and you can redeem it by calling Virgin Atlantic. 

You can choose: 

  • A companion voucher that can be used with a Virgin Points redemption or a Virgin Atlantic cash ticket 

  • A return upgrade – on either a cash or points ticket – from Premium to Upper Class, or from Economy to Premium. You can either upgrade one return flight if travelling alone or two one-way legs of two return flights if travelling with someone else 

If you are a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Silver or Gold tier member, you can also choose: 

  • A Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge pass (valid when flying on a Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Atlantic codeshare flight). If you are a Gold member, you would receive two Clubhouse lounge passes instead of one.

You’ll get an uninterrupted view of the stage, VIP fast-tracked entry and a private pay bar – so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Or dance like no one is watching – no judgement here.

  • If you’re a Silver or Gold member when you book the companion reward seat won’t cost any points.  

  • If you’re a Red member when you book, the companion seat won’t cost any points in Economy Classic and Premium, or you’ll get a 50% reduction in the points needed for Upper.

5. If you want to spend a reward, visit https://flywith.virginatlantic.com/gb/en/contact-us.html to sort it out. There are some key things you need to know about certain types of reward first:  

  • If you choose an Upgrade or Companion Reward Ticket, you can use it on a round trip, or upgrade two one-way flights. It’s subject to availability because they come from a limited number of seats in booking classes G, P and A only. You’ll still need to pay any taxes, fees and surcharges.  

  • If you choose a Clubhouse Pass, it’ll be good for one entry to one Clubhouse. We'll email a digital Clubhouse Pass code to you which you will need to give to the Clubhouse on arrival. We won’t replace lost or stolen passes or change the expiry date.  

6. You can spend your reward for up to 24 months from the date it’s issued. That means you have to have booked your flights and taken the outbound flight within those 24 months. You can take the return journey afterwards.
