Virgin Money Points Calculator
Virgin Money offers a rewards program where you earn points on purchases. These points can be redeemed for cashback, travel, or other benefits. Our Virgin Money Points Calculator helps you determine how many points you'll earn on your purchases and how to maximize your rewards.
How Virgin Money Points Work
Virgin Money's rewards program operates on a points system where you earn points based on the value of your purchases. Here's how it works:
Key Features
- Points are earned at a rate of 1 point per £1 spent
- Points expire after 3 years if not used
- Minimum redemption threshold varies by reward type
- Points can be transferred between accounts
Earning Points
You earn points on eligible purchases made with your Virgin Money credit or debit card. The points are calculated based on the purchase amount and any applicable bonuses or promotions.
Redeeming Points
Points can be redeemed for various rewards including:
- Cashback (1 point = £0.01)
- Travel vouchers
- Gift cards

Points Calculation Formula
Points earned = (Purchase amount × Points multiplier) + Bonus points
Where:
