How Virgin Miles Plus Money Works

Virgin Miles Plus Money is part of Virgin Atlantic's loyalty program. When you use your Virgin Atlantic credit card to make purchases, you earn miles that can be converted to cash. The amount you earn depends on several factors:

• The type of purchase (travel, dining, groceries, etc.)
• Your current rewards tier
• The base rewards rate for the category
• Any bonus rewards periods

The cash value is typically calculated at a rate of 1 cent per mile, though this can vary based on the current exchange rate.
