Virgin Atlantic Launches Rewards American Express Cards
June 12, 2008 By Liz Morris
Airline Virgin Atlantic today announced the launch of two Virgin Atlantic American Express Cards, with varying rewards and annual fees depending on your preferences, including the possibility of riding into space on Virgin’s sister service Virgin Galactic.
The Virgin Atlantic Black Card offers 3 miles per dollar spent on Virgin Atlantic purchases, and 1.5 miles per dollar on all other purchases, plus 20,000 bonus miles after your first purchase with the card, and up to 15,000 bonus miles every year that you continue to carry the card. The annual fee is $90.
The Virgin Atlantic White Card offers 3 miles per dollar on Virgin purchases, and 1 mile per dollar everywhere else, plus 12,500 bonus miles after your first card purchase and up to 7,500 bonus miles every year that you carry the card. The annual fee is $49.
Cardholders can use their miles for travel on Virgin Atlantic or one of their 14 airline partners, as well as cabin upgrades, car rentals, hotels, or a trip into space on Virgin Galactic (no word on how many miles that will require).
From now through January of 2009, for every $10,000 they spend with the card, cardholders get an automatic entry for a chance to win a trip into space on Virgin Galactic, without redeeming any of their miles.
The Virgin Atlantic American Express Cards are issued by Bank of America.
