Terms and conditions

Full Reward+ Credit Card Flying Club Terms can be found here

* You’ll earn 3 Virgin Points for every £1 you spend with Virgin Atlantic or Virgin Holidays. There’s a cap on the Virgin Points you can earn each month based on your credit limit. So if your credit limit is £5,000, you’ll earn points on the first £5,000 of card purchases in a month. If you spend more than that, you won’t earn points on that bit. We’ll reset the counter every month on the date of your credit card statement. The cap doesn’t apply to bonus points. We’ll add your points to your Flying Club account every month within 5 days of your credit card statement date. You’ll get any bonus points in the month after you’ve earned them. The extra points you earn for booking your holiday by 25th April and flying between 17th May and 30th September will be added to your Flying Club account within 5 days of completing your Qualifying Flights.
