Can I transfer Virgin points to a family member?

Yes, from the 5th of September 2023 you can transfer your points to another Virgin Red account holder. Whether you want to combine points to spend on a holiday* or are feeling generous and want to help a loved one unlock a reward, points can be transferred to another Virgin Red member for a flat transaction fee.



Yes, you can transfer Virgin Points to another Virgin Red or Flying Club account holder in 2026, but it is not a free service. Virgin charges a flat £10 or $15 transaction fee for any transfer, regardless of how many points you are moving. This is a significant improvement over the old "per-point" fee models used by other airlines. To complete the transfer, the recipient must be a member of the Virgin Red program. Points are typically credited within 24 hours, though large transfers (over 100,000 points) can take up to a week for security verification. There is no overall limit on how many points you can receive, but you must transfer in increments of 1,000. It is a peer-to-peer best practice to check the "reward availability" for the flight you want before paying the transfer fee, as points transfers are non-refundable and cannot be reversed once the transaction is finalized.
