Summary The new Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard offers bonus points on spending & multiple perks for US travelers.
Cardholders can earn Flying Club Tier Points for elite status & enjoy exclusive rewards such as free upgrades.
The card charges an annual fee of $99 but provides benefits like anniversary bonus points & free hotel stay.
Virgin Red, the loyalty program that includes Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Voyages, and Virgin Hotels, has revealed new details about its US credit card. Launching this fall in partnership with Synchrony, the MasterCard will provide earning opportunities and perks, including free upgrades and companion vouchers.
A cross-program card
The Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard is the latest development in the Virgin Group’s push to incorporate more of its companies into a single loyalty program. The card comes with an annual fee of $99 and earns bonus points on spending with Virgin brands, as outlined below:
3x Virgin Points for every $1 spent with Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels, and Virgin Voyages.
2x Virgin Points for every $1 spent on dining, groceries, select streaming services, and EV charging.
1x Virgin Point for every $1 spent everywhere else.
The most significant perk for aviation enthusiasts is the ability to earn 25 Virgin Atlantic Flying Club Tier Points for every $2,500 in eligible purchases (up to 50 Tier Points per month). It takes 400 Tier Points to earn Silver status (which corresponds to SkyTeam Elite) and 1000 Tier Points to reach Gold (SkyTeam Elite Plus). Therefore, it would take a new member eight months to earn Silver status with no other qualifying activity. Attaining Gold status would still require an additional 400 Tier Points, equal to one Upper Class round trip flight or 16 flights in the cheapest economy seats.
