The Virgin Atlantic White Credit Card is no longer available. This page is kept as a record of what the card offered.

ClearScore is a credit broker, not a lender.

The Virgin Atlantic White was the no-annual-fee card in a pair issued by MBNA, alongside the fee-paying Virgin Atlantic Black. Both earned Virgin Flying Club miles on spending, and cardholders received two cards on one account — an American Express and a Visa or Mastercard — allowing them to earn miles at merchants that didn't accept Amex.

MBNA closed applications across its entire airline credit card range in November 2017, affecting partnerships with Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa and United. Existing Virgin Atlantic cardholders were written to in May 2018 and the cards closed shortly afterwards, with holders transferred to MBNA-branded cards that did not earn airline miles.

The withdrawal was driven largely by the EU cap limiting interchange fees to 0.3%, which made co-branded rewards cards considerably harder to fund.

Virgin Money subsequently launched its own replacement cards, issued directly rather than through MBNA.

The Virgin Atlantic Reward and Reward+ credit cards are the current Virgin Atlantic cards, issued by Virgin Money.

Our Virgin Atlantic Reward Credit Cards guide covers their current earn rates, fees and the annual reward.
