How do you choose an experience in a country with 50 states and endless things to do? When you’re a member of Virgin Red US you can earn and spend points in lots of ways from coast to coast, skyscrapers to living rooms.  

Wherever you are, there are some amazing experiences to book with Virgin Experience Gifts. There’s something for everyone!

Take it to the Edge 

Virgin Experience Gifts is all about gifting life’s bucket list goals and unforgettable moments, and what’s more unforgettable than the most exciting external building climb in the world? Edge NYC is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere, and you can earn two Virgin Points per $1 when you book your 45-degree, angled staircase climb via Virgin Red US.  

Even Richard Branson had a go when he was in town and described his experience: 

“I’ve always loved the thrill of an adventure and heights don’t faze me – a few trips around the world in a hot air balloon probably helped with that. But what an incredible rush. I have never experienced New York like this – suspended in mid-air, 1,200 feet above the ground.” 

However if you prefer to stay inside the glass tower, you can also nab an anytime visit to the observation deck for two people, giving you unparalleled views of Manhattan and beyond.
