Virgin Atlantic Card Has a New 80,000 Miles Signup Bonus
The Virgin Atlantic card has a new increased signup offer. This card’s bonus can be worth up to 80,000 miles after the first year of card membership but the true welcome bonus is for 65,000 miles. Let’s see how this offer works exactly.

This limited-time offer ends March 24, 2022.

- 25 tier points per $2,500 in purchases (max 50 per month) toward Flying Club status

Flying Club Flying Club
When it comes to earning miles, the 1.5 miles per dollar earning structure on the Virgin Atlantic Card is better than almost every other airline credit card. But you also have the option to transfer points from American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards and Citi ThankYou Points. Transfer ratio is 1:1 and occasionally there are transfer bonuses that make it even better.
Virgin Atlantic is not part of an alliance. But they have partnership with several airlines such as Air New Zealand, All Nippon Airways (ANA), South African Airways, Virgin Australia and Delta. That gives much more availability and options for using your miles.
That means that you can book Business Class to Europe for just 100,000 miles round-trip on Delta. Or you can fly ANA first class to Tokyo from 110,000 miles.
Conclusion
We have seen better offers in the past for this card, but this is still a solid bonus. Just make sure you familiarize yourself with the program and have a use for the miles before applying. Bank of America is also the toughest approval in the business these days.
