A.
Well, for starters, having your credit balances all in one place is a whole lot easier to manage so no more remembering all those different due dates on your other credit accounts. It also means that any savings you make in interest charges may help you pay off the debt sooner.
A.
Yes and yes! You can apply to transfer a balance from another financial institution when applying for your new Virgin Credit Card. All you have to do is give us the key details of the other account, including the name the account's held in, the type of Card or account it is, the Card or Account number, the amount you want to transfer and the name and address of the organisation that issued the Card or account you’d like to transfer from.

A.
After having your Virgin Credit Card for 9 months, you'll be able to request an increase in your Credit Limit.

An increase in your Credit Limit will be approved subject to Virgin Money's lending criteria. If you apply online, an approved Credit Limit increase is effective immediately. If requesting a Credit Limit increase over the phone or by post or fax, please allow 5 to 10 working days for us to assess your application.

  • A minimum of 9 months from your Account open date and 6 months from your last limit increase is required before an increase can be considered

Additional Card Holders

A.
You can have up to four Additional Cardholders linked to your Virgin Credit Card. It’s a great way of making sure your family members are covered if and when they ever need it. All Additional Cardholders will have their very own Virgin Credit Card and any transactions made using these cards will be separately itemised on your Card Statement, making it easy to manage your finances. It's important to note that all Additional Cardholders must be over 16 years of age. It's easy to get an Additional Card - here's how:
  • 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.
A.
The Virgin No Annual Fee Credit Card has no Annual Fee for any Additional Cardholders - ever. The Annual Fee for any additional Virgin Flyer Credit Cardholder is $39.
A.
If you have any Additional Cardholders, any annual fee will be charged to your main Account and appear on your next statement when the additional card is issued, pro rata up to your next anniversary date when your Account was approved and then payable with the annual fee.
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.
A.
We'll send any additional cards to the primary account holder’s postal address for the attention of the Additional Cardholder.
A.
As with your original application if successful the Additional Cardholder should be out shopping in around 10 working days after approval.
 

Another Virgin Credit Card

A.

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.

A.

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

BPAY®
