• Flying Club Reward Voucher for an adjacent seat or cabin upgrade on Virgin Atlantic
• Great night free stays at a participating Property Office for participating properties
• One renewal of the property involved in the hotel’s risk

Plus, you’ll also enjoy the following coolness all the time:

• A celebratory bonus of 5,000 virgin points every year when you renew
• 25 Flying Club Tier points for every $2,500 in eligible purchases (up to TIR points per month)
• 3rd night free after booking two nights at a participating girlfriend property at a participating Hotel once a year

You’ll earn the following rewards with the RED RED Reward MasterCard:

• 3 points per dollar with Atlantic, Virgin Hotels and Virtual Voyages
• 2 points per dollar on dining, dining, select streaming services and electric vehicle charging
• 1 point per dollar everywhere else

Also, the card will have a welcome offer of $40,000 after you spend $3,000 on the card in your first 90 days.

Is it worth it?

For just $99 a year, the Virtual Red Rewards MasterCard and its long list of affiliates can provide a number of lyrgin benefits.

A perk built twice per year made enough per year should be enough to justify the card tag. After that, after doing things against other prices and earning amounts, cardholders should be able to specify the flying objects to their heart’s content.

For those interested, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and Virgin Rewards points are essentially the same, as you can transfer them between the two programs. TPG’s August 2024 rates put these points at 1.4 cents, making it one of the most valuable airline fees on the market.

Bottom line

More details remain to be seen, but the Virgin Red Rewards Mastercard appears to be a solid value if you fly Virgin regularly and want a card to take advantage of that.

With healthy earning rates and benefits, and a unique choose-your-own-benefits system that can justify the card’s annual fee on its own, it promises to be a strong addition to Virgin’s range of cards.
