Additional Card Holders
- Log into Virgin Money Online and select ‘Add an Additional Cardholder’ in ‘Account Services’
- Or just give us a call on 13 37 39 and follow the prompts, we're here to help.
To make it easier to understand, let's say the annual fee for your additional card is $40, the primary Account was issued in January and the additional Account was issued in July. The pro rata annual fee will be $20 as there is 6 months left until the primary Account is up for renewal again in Jan. From Jan onwards, the annual fee for the additional card will be $40 and will be charged along with your primary Account annual fee.
Another Virgin Credit Card
Applying for another Virgin Credit Card is just as easy and the same deal as when you applied for your first Card. Once you've had your first Card for over 6 months, all you have to do is choose the one you'd like, and then click on 'Apply Now'. As before it should take less than 10 minutes to complete and we'll get back to you with a response 60 seconds after you submit your application.
You can also give us a call on 13 37 39 and we'll take your application for you in around 10 minutes and have your Card out to you within 10 working days.
Remember you can help us move quickly by making sure you give us a contact number that we can easily reach you on, and also let your payroll department (or accountant if you're self-employed) know in advance to make sure they’re good to confirm your income details when we call for verification.

In case of an emergency, call us immediately on +61 2 8288 2222.
Important note: If you're travelling overseas and plan to use your Virgin Credit Card, it's important for you to know that many places overseas will ask you to enter in a PIN instead of signing for your purchase so we suggest you memorise your PIN before you go. If you don't have one, give us a call on 13 37 39 and we'll get one out to you.
If your Credit Card is lost or stolen please call us immediately on 13 37 39 and follow the prompts, we're available 24/7 (or from overseas on +6 12 8288 2222). A member of our Customer Care Team will immediately block your old card and re-issue you with a new card. Allow up to 5 working days for the new card to arrive in the post. In addition to blocking your card, we'll go through and check all the recent activity on your account. This lets us fully investigate any unrecognised transactions made with your credit card. Further information about liability for card transactions is contained in your account Terms and Conditions.
If your Credit Card is damaged, just give us a call on 13 37 39 and follow the prompts, (or from overseas on +61 2 8288 2222) we're available 24/7 and we'll organise for a new card to be posted out to you in the next 5 working days. In the mean time, you'll still be able to use your card Account number for online purchases while your new card is on it's way out to you. It's important to remember that when your new card arrives, you'll need to activate it and also make sure that your old card has been disposed of safely.
Repayments
Your minimum Monthly Payment Due is (rounded up to the nearest dollar): the Card Balance if it's less than $30, or the greater of $30 or 2.00% of the Card Balance, or;
- if you've been charged a Late Payment Fee: $30 Late Payment Fee, the sum of 1.00% of the Card Balance and any interest charged for that month, plus any Monthly Instalment amount.
You'll see the date your payment is due on your Credit Card statement.
At Virgin Money we like to give you a choice of how you can make your repayments, which are either by Direct Debit Auto Pay, Cheque, via Bank@Post at an Australia Post office or via BPay from any other suitable bank account that you have.
Direct Debit Auto Pay
Take the hassle out of making your repayments by setting up a Direct Debit. With Direct Debit Auto Pay your repayments will be automatically deducted each month from the bank account of your choice so you'll never have to worry about them.
To set this up:
To set this up log in to Virgin Money Online, head to ‘My Accounts’ then ‘Manage my Account’ and ‘Manage my Payment Options’. Click on the link to download the ‘Direct Debit Auto Pay application form’ and fax it back to us on 1300 634 315 or pop it in the post to:
Virgin Money
Reply Paid PO Box 40
Sydney NSW 2001
It's important to know that if you make any manual payments between due dates, then the Direct Debit will only draw the difference between the amount of the manual payments and the Direct Debit amount.
Via BPAY®
If you're registered for internet and/or phone banking with the financial institution that holds the account you want to pay from, you can use BPAY® to make your repayments. Just follow the prompts and enter our Biller Code 49551 followed by your 16-digit Virgin Money Card number as your Customer Reference number.
By posting us a Cheque
You can post us your payment by enclosing your completed Payment Slip provided with your monthly statement and mail with your cheque (no notes or coins please) to the following address:
Virgin Money,
GPO Box 20022
MELBOURNE VIC 3001
Please make your cheque's payable to your Virgin Money Account number and specify your account type eg. Virgin Flyer Credit Card - Account number. So we can process it as quickly as possible for you it would be good if you write the actual Account number on the back of your cheque. Cheques payable to the Account holder may also be accepted (e.g. dividend cheque, Medicare refund, etc) but cheques payable to a third party will not be accepted. Again, a friendly reminder to please write your account number on the back of all cheques.
At Australia Post
You can make your payments at any Australia Post office displaying the Bank@Post™ symbol using cash or EFTPOS and they'll be processed immediately. It's important to remember to take your Payment Slip and your Credit Card with you for a faster transaction. For payments made at any other Australia Post using cash or EFTPOS, please allow 48 hours for the payment to reach your Account. When paying by cheque at any Australia Post office, please allow 7 business days for the cheque to clear. However, funds will be considered received the day the cheque is deposited.
