Undervalued 75,000 Mile Credit Card Offer Returns for Virgin Atlantic
The increased offer for the Virgin Atlantic card has returned. This card’s bonus can be worth up to 90,000 miles after the first year of card membership but the true welcome bonus is for 75,000 miles. This is one of the more undervalued cards out there and one that I got last year.

Why This Card Is Undervalued
I signed up for this card last year and I think it is one of the more undervalued cards out there. The bonus requires a lot of spend but they also give you ample time to complete it. Plus the 1.5 miles per dollar earning structure is better than almost every other airline credit card.
Living in a Delta hub I like using Virgin Atlantic miles to fly Delta for a fraction of the cost. In my guide I showed that you can book first class flights to Europe for 100K round trip plus $50 in taxes and fees. The availability can be tough to find at times but with proper planning there is value to be had. And if you need hotel points in a pinch the Virgin Atlantic program offers somewhat reasonable transfer rates.

Conclusion
This is a compelling offer worth consideration but make sure that you have a use for the miles before applying. Bank of America is also the toughest approval in the business these days. This was the last personal card I was able to get approved for from them so maybe this approval is a little easier than their other cards.

[…] trying to hold out for–they have offered a higher annual bonus about once a year, offering 75k miles rather than 25k as the signup bonus. That offer closed a few months ago so I’m not expecting it to return […]
