Is my virgin card working for me?

I have a virgin card with which i pay off in full every month however i think its costing me money rather than being help full.

I buy things online with it or anything of real value. I dont really pay much attention to statements just give it a quick look over. Now im looking at this months statement and i have been charged interest, when im paying it off in full.

I have 7000 points with no idea what i can do with them.

Should i be looking at another card?

    Yes that will be the problem. You need to pay the difference BEFORE the due date...
