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 person in 2026, but it usually involves a flat transaction fee. Through the Virgin Red program or Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, you can move points to another member's account for a one-off fee of $15 (or roughly £10), regardless of how many points you are transferring. This is a significant advantage over other airlines that charge per-point fees. To facilitate the transfer, the recipient must also be a registered member of the program. Additionally, Virgin Atlantic offers "Household Accounts" for Silver and Gold members, allowing up to nine people living at the same address to pool their points for free. This is often the most cost-effective way for families to reach higher redemption goals like Business Class upgrades or "upper class" reward flights without paying the individual transfer fees for every single points transaction.

Yes, you can transfer Virgin Points to another person, but the ability and the cost depend on which Virgin loyalty program you’re referring to. The two main programs are Virgin Red (UK/Europe) and Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

Here’s a breakdown for each:

1. Virgin Red (UK/Europe)

Virgin Red is the overarching rewards club for Virgin brands like Virgin Atlantic, Virgin Holidays, Virgin Wines, etc. Transfer to Another Member: Yes, you can. This is done directly within your Virgin Red account. Cost: There is a fee for transferring points. As of my last update, the fee is £12 / €15 per transfer, regardless of the number of points. Minimum Transfer: Usually a minimum of 1,000 points. How to Do It: Log in to your Virgin Red account online or via the app, go to the “Transfer Points” section, and enter the recipient’s membership details.

2. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club

This is specifically for airline miles earned by flying with Virgin Atlantic and its partners. Transfer to Another Member: Yes, but with significant restrictions and costs. Cost: It is expensive. Transfers incur a fee of $15 USD per 1,000 miles, plus a $50 transaction fee. For example, transferring 10,000 miles would cost $150 in mileage fees + $50 = $200 total. Minimum Transfer: 1,000 miles. Important Rules: You can only transfer to members who have been in the Flying Club for at least 90 days. The recipient must be a Family Member (spouse, domestic/civil partner, or immediate family like children, parents, siblings). You may be required to provide proof of the relationship.
