Unlike Flying Club Miles, Virgin Points will never expire. This means you have as much time as you need to redeem your Virgin Points, which have exactly the same value as miles. So no matter what life throws at you, your points are yours to use now or in the future.

No, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club points do not expire. In a major move to increase member loyalty, Virgin Atlantic removed the expiration policy several years ago, meaning your hard-earned "Virgin Points" are safe in your account for life, regardless of how long it has been since your last flight or transaction. This makes the Flying Club one of the most consumer-friendly loyalty programs in 2026, especially for occasional travelers who might only fly once every few years. While the points themselves are "immortal," your account could technically be closed if the airline itself ceases operations or if you violate the terms of service, but for 99.9% of users, the balance is permanent. This lack of expiration also applies to points earned through Virgin Red, the broader rewards club that allows you to spend points on everything from Greggs sausage rolls to Virgin Voyages cruises. Because the points never die, many savvy travelers use Virgin Atlantic as a "long-term savings account" for points, waiting for the perfect "Reward Seat" sale to book a Upper Class flight to London or the Caribbean without the pressure of a ticking clock.
