Is this card right for you?

people who spend heavily on dining, groceries, and streaming and want travel rewards they can grow.

⚠ Think twice if

you will not use enough of its perks and credits to cover the $99 annual fee.

3x Virgin Points at Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels, and Virgin Voyages
2x points on groceries, dining, select streaming, and EV charging
1x point on all other purchases
5,000 bonus points every account anniversary

Best ways to earn & redeem

Put your dining, groceries, and streaming spending on this card to earn at its highest rates, and let a different card handle the categories it does not bonus. Its dining rate is on the modest side for that category, so compare before you commit.

When you cash in, redeem the miles or points inside the single loyalty program this card is tied to. We value every point at a flat 1 cent, so treat any transfer upside as a bonus rather than the baseline — see what your points are really worth.

Features & benefits

Third night free on a two-night Virgin Hotels stay once a year
No foreign transaction fees
