Why are Virgin CC's good for Barclaycard customers.

I have just applied for a Virgin credit card and been accepted. Martin says in his article that you should go for it if you are an existing Barclaycard customer, so I did as I was looking for a 0% BT anyway. He doesn't explain why it's good for existing Barclaycard customers, can anyone shed any light?
I've given up trying to get my signature to work with the new rules, if nobody knows what the rules are what hope do we have?

    Because existing Barclaycard holders with Barclaycard debt are unlikely to get another Barclaycard...and if they did, they wouldn't be able to transfer their debt to the same provider.

    If you read the paragraph above, it's because he's rating the Barclaycard offer more highly. However if you've already got a Barclaycard you won't be eligible to apply for it, and Virgin is his 2nd choice.

    OK, it makes sense now, just me not reading the whole article properly. :)
