Virgin America has announced it will partner with Alliance Data Retail Services to launch a new Virgin America Visa Signature Credit Card and a first-ever Virgin America Premium Visa Signature Card. 

Both co-brand cards offer Virgin America guests and Elevate frequent flyer program members a host of perks to make their travel experience more convenient, flexible and rewarding.

Under terms of the multiyear agreement, Alliance Data will partner with Virgin America to provide a full suite of credit and marketing services for the Virgin America Visa Signature Card and will leverage its full suite of acquisition tools along with its marketing and analytics expertise to drive cardholder spend and further support one-to-one customer engagement.

The new Virgin America Visa Signature Card offers a free first checked bag for the cardholder and a travel companion on all Virgin
America flights, $150 discount for one companion ticket every year (discount off base fare before mandatory taxes and fees) , and 20 per cent savings on all in-flight purchases made on the airline’s touch-screen Red in-flight entertainment system.

Recognising the value that today’s business travellers place on flexibility, the Virgin America Premium Visa Signature Card will also allow cardholders to modify their travel plans without paying change or cancel fees on Virgin America flights, in addition to the opportunity to reach Elevate Gold or Elevate Silver Status faster with up to 15,000 bonus status points every year. 

The new visually distinctive cards mirror Virgin America’s sleek design aesthetic, including the first-ever credit card to feature a moodlit “window”.
