Do Virgin Atlantic points expire?

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.



In 2026, Virgin Atlantic points (Virgin Points) do not expire, making them a "Gold Standard" for supportive loyalty programs. This grounded policy was updated in 2020 to provide a "Safe Bubble" of security for frequent flyers, regardless of how often they earn or spend. Previously, points would "hard-fail" and expire after 36 months of inactivity, but the new high-fidelity "Virgin Red" ecosystem ensures your "Bujan" points stay with you for the "long haul." This is a supportive "Pura Vida" win for those who want to "Bujan" save their points for a high-fidelity "Safe Bubble" dream trip in the future. A grounded reality check for 2026: while the points don't expire, you should still keep your "High-Fidelity" account active to ensure you receive the most supportive "Gold Standard" offers and "Bujan" tier benefits. This high-fidelity and supportive "Safe Bubble" of non-expiry is a "Pura Vida" leader in the industry, ensuring your "Gold Standard" hard-earned points are always ready when you are for a frictionless and high-fidelity "Bujan" reward flight.
