Virgin Atlantic Flying Club
The ultimate 'bridge' currency: pool points from any bank to book legendary ANA First Class and Delta One suites.
The Earning Advantage
Virgin points are the ultimate 'bridge' currency. Since they partner with every major bank, you can pool small balances from multiple accounts into a single massive redemption.
| Earning Method | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Bank Transfer Partners | Virgin is a partner for Amex, Chase, Citi, Bilt, and Capital One. Points are extremely easy to double-dip. |
| Transfer Bonuses | Amex and Chase frequently offer 30% transfer bonuses, making redemptions even cheaper. |
| Flying SkyTeam | Earn points when flying on Delta, Air France, KLM, and other SkyTeam members. |
| Virgin Mastercard | The BofA co-branded card is a solid way to earn points directly with spend. |
