Earning Flying Club miles
Every £1 you spend on the Virgin Atlantic White American Express® Credit Card and the Virgin Atlantic White Visa Credit Card earns you Flying Club miles that you can redeem on a huge range of fabulous rewards. Cash transactions, money transfers, and balances you transfer to MBNA Europe Bank Limited do not earn Flying Club miles. You will earn 1 Flying Club mile for every £1 you spend on the Virgin Atlantic White American Express® Credit Card and 1 Flying Club mile for every £2 you spend on the Virgin Atlantic White Visa Credit Card. Miles are earned for each whole pound spent on each transaction on your card. You will earn double your normal rate of miles on your Virgin Atlantic White White Credit Card when you spend direct with Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Holidays (and from time to time other partners), visit www.virginatlantic.com/creditcard for more information. Your personal information will be processed by Virgin Money Limited for the purpose of administering the Flying Club miles earned through your Virgin Atlantic White Credit Card.
The number of Flying Club miles earned each month from credit card spend will be displayed on your monthly credit card statement, and will then be added to your Flying Club account within 30 days of the statement date. Please note, it is not possible to allocate Flying Club miles to your account before they have appeared on your statement. Where a refund is made on your card, your Flying Club miles total will be adjusted accordingly. Should you decide to cancel your Virgin Atlantic White Credit Card Account before the production of your next statement, then any miles you have earned during the current statement period will be lost. Cardmembers miles can be suspended or cancelled if you do not keep your account in good standing.
If you have not provided MBNA with a valid Flying Club membership number at the point your statement is generated, Virgin Atlantic will not be able to allocate Flying Club miles to your account. Please note the Flying Club membership number you give us must be for a Flying Club account in your name. If you have any additional cardmembers on your card account, any Flying Club miles they earn by spending on their card will also be credited to your Flying Club account. Your personal information will be processed by Virgin Money Limited for the purpose of administering the Flying Club miles earned through your Virgin Atlantic White Credit Card Account. Your card cannot be used within the Virgin Card Members Shop, and no cash alternative is available.
Bonus Flying Club miles

The Flying Club miles will be credited to your Flying Club account within 30 days of your statement date. If you have not provided MBNA with a valid Flying Club membership number at the point your statement is generated, Virgin Atlantic will not be able to allocate Flying Club miles to your account.
