This is how it works:You only earn tier points when you redeem on Virgin Atlantic flights. You do NOT earn tier points if you redeem miles from other programmes for Virgin Atlantic flights. On redemption flights, you will earn the following:Economy: 25 tier points each wayPremium: 50 tier points each wayUpper Class: 100 tier points each wayHow many tier points do you need for status? There is an interesting link to Virgin Atlantic credit card vouchersWhen Virgin Atlantic moved to ‘dynamic redemption pricing’ in 2024, it changed how the annual credit card voucher worked. You receive a voucher each year when you spend £20,000 on the free Virgin Atlantic Reward credit card (3,000 Virgin Points sign-up bonus, review of the free Virgin Atlantic Reward credit card here) or £10,000 on the £160 Virgin Atlantic Reward+ credit card (18,000 Virgin Points sign-up bonus, review of the Virgin Atlantic Reward Plus credit card here).
