If you love to travel, you’ll love the new Virgin Red Rewards Card.

The highly anticipated credit card, powered by Synchrony and Mastercard, landed in the US today. Now, you can earn Virgin Points on every purchase and turn everyday spending into unforgettable adventures with Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Hotels, and Virgin Voyages.

To celebrate the launch, Virgin Red is offering a limited-time boarding bonus of 40,000 Virgin Points to new cardholders who spend $3,000 within the first 90 days. That’s enough for two round-trip flights across the pond!
