VIrgin Atlantic Air Miles

I currently convert my Tesco clubcard points to Virgin Atlantic airmiles. I’m currently looking for a way to boost this miles with a credit card for everyday spending to be repaid in full each month. Is it more beneficial to have a Tesco Clubcard credit card (and then convert the points into Virgin air miles), or a Virgin Atlantic credit card to directly collect miles?

If anyone has any knowledge of this or a better way to boost them id be really grateful of your advice

Xx

  • Here's a good review of the two Virgin Atlantic Credit Card products: https://www.headforpoints.com/2018/05/09/mbna-virgin-atlantic-credit-card-closing/

    The Virgin Atlantic card is much better than the Tesco Credit Card for collecting Virgin Flying Club miles.

    However, when shopping in Tesco, if you use the Tesco Bank Debit Card, you will get much more miles after converting your clubcard points to Virgin (1 bonus clubcard point per £1 which is 2.4 flying club miles). Doing so will limit your ability to get enough spend for the 2-4-1 voucher though as less spending will be put through the Virgin card.

    Amex gold probably the best as will give 1 mile per £ and 20,000 miles if you spend £2k in 3 months (22,000) with a referral. it's also free for the first year with two lounge passes.
