Virgin has launched a new points bonus promotion for those looking to purchase Virgin Points in the coming days.

The offers runs until 18 September, up to the maximum 100,000 points purchase limit per Virgin Red or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club member.

Virgin Points normally cost £15 per 1,000 points, meaning members can currently get 1,500 points for the same cost, valuing them at 1p per point.

Earlier this month Virgin introduced a new flat rate for Virgin Red and Flying Club members looking to transfer points to family and friends.

Members will now pay a flat rate of £10 per transfer, with no limit to the amounts of points which can be moved to another member.

The new system replaces the previous rates of £15 per transfer plus £7.50 for every 1,000 points transferred.

And a current promotion for the Virgin Atlantic Reward+ Mastercard credit card means that cardholders can earn up to 30,000 bonus points when applying in the coming weeks.

Cardholders usually receive a welcome bonus of 15,000 Virgin Points when applying for the card (which has an annual fee of £160) and making their first purchase.

But those applying by 2 October will also receive an additional bonus of 15,000 points when they spend £3,000 or more with the first 90 days.
