Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard 60K Bonus
Virgin Red and Synchrony have launched a new welcome bonus on the Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard®. The card launched just under a year ago with a 40,000 points bonus, so this is a big improvement. Let’s see the details.
The Offer
- New cardholders can earn 60,000 Virgin Points after spending $4,000 in the first 90 days.
- Earn 2,500 Virgin Points when you add an additional user (up to four users, max 10,000 extra points).
- Annual Fee: $99
- DIRECT LINK
Card Details and Benefits
The card does not have a very exciting earning structure. You get:
- 3X Virgin Points on purchases with Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels and Virgin Voyages.
- 2X Virgin Points on dining, grocery stores, select streaming services and EV charging.
- 1X Virgin Points on all other purchases.
The list of benefits includes:
- 5,000 Virgin Points upon renewal of your card
- Earn 25 Flying Club Tier Points for each $2,500 in eligible purchases (maximum 50 Tier Points per month).
- Third night free after booking two nights at a participating Virgin Hotel once a year.
- Spend $15,000 or $30,000 in a cardholder year to choose one or two of the following perks:
- Virgin Atlantic: Flying Club reward voucher for a companion seat or cabin upgrade
- Virgin Hotels: One free night stay or hotel suite upgrade
- Virgin Voyages: Up to $300 Bar Tab credit or Blue Extras perks package
Conclusion
The signup bonus is now much better at 60,000 points while the spending requirement has also increased slightly from $3,000 to $4,000. You can also add up to four authorized users, which would bump the bonus up to 70,000 points.
Earning rates are not great, but you do get some benefits that could be useful for those who travel or vacation with Virgin. If you’re not sure if the card is worth applying, check out Benjy’s article.
