Partnering Bank of America
Virgin Atlantic and Bank of America have announced the long-term renewal of their co-brand partnership and the launch of the new Virgin Atlantic World Elite MasterCard credit card.
The new Virgin Atlantic World Elite MasterCard credit card rewards cardholders with three miles for every USD1 spent on Virgin Atlantic purchases and 1.5 miles for all other purchases – one of the best ways to earn Flying Club miles.
“The new credit card program allows us to give our customers an extraordinary experience, both on the ground and in the air,” said Chris Rossi, Senior Vice President, Virgin Atlantic North America. “Joining forces with Bank of America and MasterCard ensures our international travelers can use their credit cards easily – whether they’re in London, our other worldwide destinations or their own neighborhoods.”
Cardholders can earn miles every day that can be redeemed for rewards such as upgrades, Virgin Atlantic flights and partner flights with, for example, Delta Air Lines and Virgin America.
“Bank of America is proud to continue its long partnership with Virgin Atlantic. We recognize Virgin Atlantic’s need to deliver an outstanding value proposition to Flying Club members, and this new World Elite MasterCard program will allow travelers to journey farther and enjoy more of what the world has to offer along the way,” said Jeff Norwine, Affinity Banking Executive at Bank of America.
