Virgin Money Rewards

Does the way I earn points change if I share the account?

In most cases, if you hold a joint Virgin Money Go Account, most points will be split down the middle between you and your mate. For example, you will each earn 4 Virgin Money Points per settled purchase, direct debit or BPAY payment on your Go Account and cash outs from a merchant’s point of sales terminal the next month.

If you earn Bonus Points through one of our partner offers with your Go Account, the joint account holder who made that purchase will receive all the Bonus Points.

If you are an additional credit cardholder, the Virgin Money Bonus Points that you earn will be credited to the primary card holders account, if the primary card holder is enrolled for Virgin Money Rewards.     

Will I still earn Velocity Points on my Flyer and High Flyer credit card and other products with Virgin Money?  

Yep, if you’re currently earning Velocity Frequent Flyer Points on a Virgin Money Flyer and High Flyer Credit card, Home loan*, super or insurance, you’ll continue to do so, just as you do today.

Want Virgin Money Rewards on top of that? Simply take out one of our eligible Virgin Money accounts to get earning.

Your eligible everyday spend will still get you closer to your travel goals: you can choose to transfer your Virgin Money Rewards Points to Velocity Points. (T&C's apply)

_{*If you make a material change to your home loan including a restructure and/or opening a new loan account on or after 25 May 2020, you may no longer be eligible to earn Velocity Points. Please contact our Customer Care Team on 13 81 51 to discuss any changes you are considering.}

Will I earn points if I’m an additional credit card holder?

Yes, if you are an additional credit card holder of a Rewards eligible credit card, you will be enrolled to participate in the Virgin Money Rewards Program. However, Virgin Money Points earned when you make an Eligible Transaction as an additional credit card holder will be credited to the Primary Cardholders Rewards account (these points will not be credited to your Rewards account) provided the Primary Cardholder successfully enrolled in the Virgin Money Rewards Program before you made the eligible transaction.

The primary cardholder can use the ‘Share your points’ option in the Redeem section of the Rewards Hub to share some love with another person who holds a Rewards account.

How can I earn points when doing my shopping?

You can choose from a wide range of personalised online offers from Virgin Money Partners.

1. Log into the Virgin Money app
2. Click on 'Rewards'
3. Select 'Earn'
4. Click on 'Partner offers'
5. Search through available list of instore and online offers

Bonus Points will generally be credited to your account within 5 business days – it’s that easy. 

_{Please note: Card transactions that are pending won’t receive Bonus Points until the transaction has been cleared in your account. As soon as this happens, you’ll typically receive the Bonus Points within 24 hours, but these may take up to 5 business days.}

Why can’t I see any partner offers?

You’ll need to wait 24 hours after signing up to see all the offers you are eligible for. And remember, only eligible Virgin Money accounts are able to access all partner offers. Visit the Rewards homepage for a list of eligible accounts. 

Can I earn points for referring a friend?

Yes - If you are an existing Go Account customer, you can refer a friend and you will both earn Bonus Points when your friend creates a Virgin Money Go Account using your unique referral code and they meet the current Welcome Bonus Criteria (see offer T&Cs that apply).

To share the love, head to the Rewards Hub in the app, then click on the ‘Refer A Friend’ offer to generate your unique referral link and share this with your friends. It’s that easy.

Your Bonus Points will be allocated within 5 business days of your friend meeting the eligibility criteria. Just remember your friend’s transaction needs to be settled (not pending) in their account before the points will be allocated.

While there isn’t a limit on how many people you can refer, you will only receive Bonus Points for the first five (5) successful referrals you made in any month. That’s a total of 25,000 Bonus Points each month! Not bad, hey?

How can I start earning Rewards Points on my new Anytime Rewards credit card?

We love welcoming new members into the Virgin Money family, so to get you going we’ve cooked up something special. Earn a whopping 80,000 Virgin Money Bonus Points when you meet the criteria for our welcome offer. (T&C's apply)

Booking is easy

_{Your points will land in your Points Activity within 24 hours of completing your stay at the hotel. All credit and debit cards are accepted.}

How will I know that my travel booking has been confirmed?

Your booking has been confirmed once you’ve received a confirmation email from us with your itinerary details and a reference number. You will not receive a confirmation directly from the hotel or airline. Your booking confirmation or e-ticket from Virgin Money is all that’s needed. It contains your itinerary details, booking reference and all other important details for your trip. Once you have this, you’re all ready to go!

If your booking is pending confirmation, our team is working on confirming the booking. Please sit tight, you’ll receive a notification via email within 24 hours about the status of your booking.

To view your bookings online, simply navigate to Earn from the Rewards Hub and select Book Travel. Once there, select Manage Booking. You’ll be able to find details for all past and future hotel and flight bookings you’ve made via Virgin Money Rewards at any time. Bon Voyage.

^{Please note: Your hotel may load your booking into their own reservation systems at different times. This means that any staff at the hotel may only be able to see your reservation a few days before your travel date. Please keep this in mind if you contact your hotel directly.}

How many Bonus Points will I earn for my hotel booking?

When booking a hotel through the Virgin Money Rewards hub you will earn 5 Bonus Points for every $1 you spend.

The initial pricing shown during the hotel/room search steps of the booking process is rounded up to the nearest full dollar amount. Exact room pricing (including cents) is then displayed on the confirmation step of the booking journey. Your Virgin Money Bonus Points will be calculated off that final booking price.

Most taxes and fees related to each reservation are already included in the pre-paid cost of the booking. For hotels, certain destinations may require a municipal city tax or resort fee that’s payable at the hotel directly and isn’t included in the pre-paid rate. We’ll flag any locally payable fees provided to us by the travel supplier on the check-out screen and in your confirmation email.

What if I need to change or cancel my travel booking?

Unfortunately, changes aren’t permitted for hotel bookings. But you may be able to cancel your travel booking and receive a refund, subject to the applicable refund terms.

Specific hotel and flight cancellation and refund policies are set by each hotel or airline. They may vary for each reservation and are available for your review on the check-out screen and in your confirmation email.

Travel bookings can be managed online by clicking the Manage Bookings button on the Book Travel screen. Cash refunds for any amounts settled via a Virgin Money payment card will be processed back to the same card that you used to pay.

What if I provided the wrong information for my travel booking?

We understand mistakes happen. You can contact our quick and friendly service team at any time via support@loyalty.virginmoney.com.au. We’ll do our best to help you correct your information. However, if your booking is non-refundable, there’s a possibility that the provider may not agree to make any changes.

Can I pay for everyday purchases with points?

How long will it take to receive my cash credit for Pay with Points?

If you use Pay with Points on your Go account, your cash credit will be credited within minutes into your chosen eligible Virgin Money account.

For credit card users this takes a little longer. You’ll usually see your cash credit the next day, but it can sometimes take up to 3 business days.

Will using Pay with Points or redeem Points for Cash count towards my minimum monthly repayments?

Using Pay with Points and redeeming Points for Cash is a great way to help pay off your credit card balance, however it’s important to keep in mind that the cash amount reduces the credit card balance but doesn’t count towards your next monthly repayment obligations.
